I believe they are planning on an orbital altitude of between 700-800miles. I'm not a network engineer so take this all with a heavy helping of salt but I'd wager that the overwhelming majority of networked application that are dependent on extremely low latency are also relatively local(intracontinental). So given this assumption is accurate the increase in latency should be minimal for these types of applications. I've also read that the plan is for the constellation of satellites to number at 4425 satellites strong and for them to be using frequencies between 10GHz and 35GHz. FWIW SpaceX claims the networks latency to be around 35ms.
