Starlink: hold my beer.
I'm not a HFT, I know I can't increase the speed of light, I know I can't tunnel through the earth to shave a few microseconds off a transmission. I can appreciate the difference between 300ms rtt and 900ms rtt - the later being a practical minimum when you're coping with outages in the 100-200ms range and networks reroute.
Give me jitter over drops any day.
