Right now, that's not really the case though, as the satellite interlinks aren't operational yet. All your traffic goes through a base station relatively close to you, and continues over "regular" fiber around the world.
- tyingq 5y agoThis article and accompanying videos are interesting in that regard: https://www.circleid.com/posts/20191230_starlink_simulation_low_latency_without_intersatellite_laser_links/ https://www.circleid.com/posts/20191230_starlink_simulation_... It suggests they could be lower latency than a great-circle path ground fiber without the satellite interlinks.
