Most latency isn't caused by SOL restrictions. It's usually the repeaters, firewalls, routers, and packet queues that slow things down. It only takes 103ms for light to circumnavigate the globe. However, latencies at only half that distance are over 500ms due to router latency.
Starlink is pretty good for communicating with the other side of the globe because of their routing over laser comms. I've known professional gamers that use it to reduce latencies to servers in Asia and the Middle East.
