  Something tells me you're not getting sub 100ms latency with broadband over 19 million miles

    They're new high tech lasers that go faster than the speed of light!

    I mean, if their point was that a straight-shot laser had lower point-to-point latency than a system with a bunch of non-direct links, intermediate switches, routers, mix of copper and fiber, etc… Well, no kidding.

    Didn’t say anything about 100ms though. I was guessing maybe they read 100ms though. Still not sure what the point was.
