We won't have "facts" for at least a year. In the mean time everyone is
blowing smoke.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Starlink latency highly variable - up to 120 ms
I call that BS. It means they can route the traffic to the nearest end
point. I think it will make a massive difference.
You can call BS all day long til you are blue in the face, it won't change
facts.
The minimum end user latency is dominated by the RF space segment which is
currently averaging 40 ms. There are promises about lowering this, but nobody
has ever claimed any numbers lower than 20 ms.
It means jack all to the end user if Starlink uses a space laser to do one
or two hops when they have to pay a 20-40 ms penalty to go up and down.
