I don’t have my Starlink anymore, but I’ve just noticed that at least with Speedtest screen shots, the bufferbloat seems to be much more under control. E.g.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/s/THVeQ3r43D Hopefully it’s not just an “optimization“ for the test. Maybe Nathan has had a positive influence in that respect. I still own the v2 hardware and would love to supports them instead of Verizon, but if they had a more affordable 50/5 package for $50 which is what Verizon charges for their 50/5 LTE service I would jump ship and run some flent tests. Anybody in this list able to confirm the better bufferbloat results? -Luis On Mon, Jan 15, 2024 at 9:22 AM Dave Taht via Starlink < starlink@lists.bufferbloat.net> wrote: > I would rather like starlink to get latency for > voip/gaming/videoconferencing down to consistently (99.8%) below 40ms. > > from > https://spaceflightnow.com/2024/01/13/live-coverage-spacex-to-launch-falcon-9-rocket-on-starlink-mission-from-cape-canaveral/ > … > “The biggest, single goal for Starlink from a technical standpoint is > to get the mean latency below 20 milliseconds,” Musk said. > > mean latency is a somewhat wrong goal.
