Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink
Anivia@feddit.org 5 days agoIs it because latency does not scale in that way?
Yes, your understanding is fundamentally flawed. Starlink add a fixed latency on top, if you ping to a server was 2ms with fiber and 52ms with starlink, then your ping to a server that would be 100ms with fiber would be 150ms with starlink
