Starlink latency is too high if your server is nearby. If it’s on the other side of the earth it beats everything.

  Do they actually route all the way across planet using laser interlinks? Are there any tests by someone?

    My guess is that they do not. Routing these packets around the planet would be a huge waste of their limited electrical and transmission resources.

      Premium plans would fix that...

    They have both sats with and without lasers. Starlink with lasers are still being rolled out. So it will depend very much from where to where. The certaintly can go direct. It would be interesting to know their internal routing logic but I don't think we know.
