If you want a really great visualization and latency estimates for starlink check out the models and videos this guy came up with: https://www.youtube.com/watc

  Thanks - those are my videos. If you've got any questions, I'll try and answer them. One key limitation is that they only model the propagation delay, so achieving those latencies also assumes that serialization delays and queuing delays are minimal. Serialization should be pretty negligible, but queuing will greatly depend on the network architecture adopted. There have been a number of ideas developed by the research community over the decades that are hard to apply in the Internet, but which might work well in a private network like Starlink. So I have confidence that it can be done, but I don't know at the moment how SpaceX actually plan to do this part.

    no specific questions but thank you for making the videos, they're so much easier to follow than reading an fcc filing (for me at least). if you setup a patreon, and every time spacex updated a filing you turned around an updated video that week, i'd pitch in. I think you'll find interest in starlink among people with dozens of dollars to spare is pretty high.
