This is not how it works in practise. I’ve been on Starlink for more than three months, and I play CS and other competetive shooters daily. There is no such a thing 100ms latency spikes every X seconds. Same for packet loss. Teams calls are no problem at all, and the latency and quality of the Internet is comparible to that of a fibre lane. You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if you didn’t know you are on the Starlink network.

- EricE 2y agoBased on what? The receiver knows where it is since it has GPS. Starlink knows the orbits of their own satellites. Why wouldn't they queue up connections to upcoming satellites and then hand off from one to the next in anticipation of the one you are on eventually rotating out? What's up with the apparent assumption they only track one satellite at a time or until there is a communication problem? That would be stupid (and why they obviously don't do that).
- brokenmachine 2y agoBased on life experience with anything wireless. From cellphones to wifi to bluetooth, it's all shit compared to fiber.
- j45 2y agoI have tried Starlink as well and video calls have been fine.
