High speed and really bad latency, maybe.
- ceejayoz 10y agoCurrent satellite internet has high latency, because it's going thorough geosynchronous satellites about 25,000 miles up. The SpaceX (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/11/spacex-plans-worldwide-satellite-internet-with-low-latency-gigabit-speed/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/11/space...) and other similar proposed satellite internet constellations would be made of lots of low-orbit satellites a couple hundred miles up. Latency wouldn't be much of a concern there.
