- new_realist 7y agoThese don’t include the latency cost to get through the atmosphere, or cost of routing at each satellite. As such they are fairly worthless.
- new_realist 7y agoI should also note that many of the simulated Starlink paths between NYC and London are actually higher latency than the best fiber path, which is less than 60 ms (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2010/09/first-nyclondon-cable-in-a-decade-promises-sub-60ms-latency/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2010/09/first-nyclondon-...). The author ignores routing and RF delays in the space network, but compares RTT to the public Internet. A joke.
