I call that BS. It means they can route the traffic to the nearest end
point. I think it will make a massive difference.

Yeah. It's beta. They have no where near their full constellation AND they do
not have their sat-sat interlink working yet. The jury is still out, and it is
way too early to be passing judgement yet.

This is BETA!
It will only get better and they're targeting less than 20ms next year. Averages are about 40ms now so they're well below the 100ms threshold on average which is what matters, not the couple pings that are higher.

weakness is its highly variable latency.
Typical beta user minimum latencies are in the mid 30ies with very high
variability. Ping tests that hover around 40 ms will go to high 60ies from one
second to the other. Worst case latencies are well over 100 ms.
The last part is what I consider disqualifying Starlink for RDOF funds meeting
the low-latency standard, but I guess that's what Elon has lawyers for.
