It’s interesting. At this kind of distance, I wonder how topologies of cables and satellite constellations compare. Cables run relatively straight under the sea. If they are optic fibre, they run at a lower speed than light in vacuum. Satellites are in space, so communicate pretty much at speed of light, but probably not in a straight line, depends where the satellites are. HFTs are indeed great at gaming such things, will be interesting to see what happens.
