Why not? We're just comparing current satellite broadband offerings' known latency to what Starlink could potentially offer.
- shaklee3 7y agoIf your cable service offers 10, 25, 50, and 100Mbps plans, how is an average speed at all meaningful? It's just representative of how many people sign up per plan.
- studentrob 7y agoAn existing offering does 60ms average, meaning its best case is better. Starlink would offer 25ms best-case scenario.
- shaklee3 7y agoMy post is clearly about bandwidth, not latency. You don't choose your latency.
