If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Fair criticisms!

I didn't closely follow Starlink-related news recently, but regardless, on such a high distance and such a low height I expect the very curvature of the Earth being a problem with direct transmission of signals from one satellite to the other. May be wrong again, though, didn't calculate.

Also fair on speed of light. However, even if we don't count travelling up, down, and extra equipment, and take 33% improvement at face value, this turns 80-150ms ping into 53-100ms, which is still clearly not good enough for competitive gaming.

Yeah I haven't followed either why I'm curious if any of the claimed benefits materialized.
