My fiber latency is ~3ms
- bigfatkitten 2y agoWhich is cool I guess, if you live in one of the relatively small number of places in the world where that exists, in which case you wouldn't use Starlink anyway. Many of Starlink's customers would otherwise be on VSAT, with 600ms+ RTT to geostationary birds.
- jillyboel 2y agojust invest in local infrastructure instead of throwing money at a nazi
- rlt 2y agoThere it is, the real reason you’re dunking on Starlink, you don’t like Elon.
- jillyboel 2y agoIt's secondary, the fact is that starlink is objectively 8x worse than what is currently considered the default. And there's no sense dealing with nazis to get something 8x worse.
- bigfatkitten 2y ago> currently considered the default By whom?
- Gud 2y agoSo? 25ms hardly sucks
- rlt 2y ago25ms is fine for the vast majority of people except maybe hardcore gamers. 3ms at the speed of light is 500 miles. Much of what your accessing will be physically further than that anyway.
- jillyboel 2y agoReminds me of: 4mb of memory is more than you will ever need!!! Also, ever heard of CDNs?
