I posted this link to an interesting paper on this particular topic about two months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21324653 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21324653 "Starlink has the potential to provide lower latency around the globe than terrestrial fiber because light travels faster in vacuum than in optical silica fiber. "Delay is Not an Option: Low Latency Routing in Space" ... "We conclude that a network built in this manner can provide lower latency communications than any possible terrestrial optical fiber network for communications over distances greater than about 3000 km.""
