Starlink is also satellite internet, right?
- cwillu 3mo agoYes, but the low altitude of the satellites makes a big difference.
- sph 3mo agoStarlink satellites are ~500 km in altitude. Regular satellite internet is in geostationary orbit at ~35,000 km in altitude. The difference in latency is massive. 3ms vs 220ms roundtrip time at the speed of light.
