  Yea starlink isn’t geo sat. It’s Leo and has ping around 20-30ms, basically the same as cable. If you’re trying to compare starlink to sat internet of the past, like vianet then you’re confused, as they’re completely different.

    Do you personally have starlink and experience those ping levels? Reports from people online claim higher ping times.

      Yes, I did, but now have a wired connection through my coop electric company. I don’t know where your getting that ping is higher, go look at the /r/starlink subreddit, tons of people post their speeds there.
