Reply to comment by Real-Pierre-Delecto2 in Best internet? Starlink? by Sjfilbey

550km (starlink’s lowest altitude at perigee) is 0.00183 light seconds which is the absolute limit light (and radio) can travel in one second in a vacuum. Add in processing, heavy cloud cover, additional transmission, it not being in a vacuum, etc… etc… and there you go. Physics doesn’t hate anyone, even Musk.

I agree with the other guy, ping hovers around 35-45 ms and keeps getting more and more stable. Don't know what you're going on about. Obviously you've never tested Starlink.

Old school geosync satellite internet is 42,000km up. The difference is clear.
