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

- raphaelj 3y agoMy guess is that they do not. Routing these packets around the planet would be a huge waste of their limited electrical and transmission resources.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoPremium plans would fix that...
- panick21_ 3y agoThey 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.
