That would be impressive, as that would be 140,000km in 250ms, or about twice the speed of light
Most satellite IP I use starts at about 650ms
- ortusdux 4y agoYeah that number seemed low, should have done the math. Going by the IPs, the link I posted is the delay between Quebec and the New South Wales ground station that the satellite links to. So it sounds like McMurdo to Quebec would be a 1 second delay on a good day.
