I don't imagine it will ever be 'better'. Like wifi though, at some point it will probably be good enough that for 90+% of use cases the tradeoff of cables isn't worth it.
Like I know ethernet is better, but very rarely does that little bit better latency or connection stability practically matter.
- wincy 2y agoMaybe SpaceX should partner with Activision-Blizzard to run Diablo 4 servers in space so Elon can get better latency for His Pit 140+ runs when flying in his private jet.

- Clamchop 2y agoI think the latency of satellite is very much tolerable as it is for most stuff. The use cases where it starts to be a problem is usually when humans are interacting with each other or humans/machines with financial markets. Maybe other things I'm not thinking of. I don't think servers in orbit can solve this problem?
- Stevvo 2y agoDeploying web servers to space seems ridiculously far-fetched. Just insanely expensive without any real upsides.
- crowcroft 2y agoCool though
