I'm a little skeptical about that jitter comparison, I'd like to see more info. I don't see anything in this excellent report that sheds light on the difference (and honestly don't see that difference in the graphs.) Mostly I'm curious how the hardware is the limiting factor here, I always assumed it was a combination of queueing in the Starlink infrastructure plus retransmits. Maybe a better antenna lowers the number of retransmits needed? I don't have a proper jitter measure, but FWIW my Gen 1 Starlink in Grass Valley, CA has a round trip time (measured with IRTT) that varies from 30-60ms over minutes. That improved significantly in January 2024 after some change Starlink made. Previously it was more like 40-100ms.
