Elon Musk Internet with latency under 20

I wasn't aware that LEO could result in a sub-30 latency. That's amazing. Terrestrial will hit 10Gbit in the next three years, so it's not going head to head in urban areas.

Do you have Comcast in your area? It's waayy faster than Centry Link in my area.

The best I can get that isn't data capped (current satellite net is trash anyway) is DSL that I had to bludgeon the local ISP for because of how far out I am. FINALLY the main engineer hooked it up for us in private at risk of his own job. Wouldn't even let me buy him a meal or anything.

Like I said - life changing here.

Hughes satellite service? They advertise it as "available everywhere" @ 25 Mbps.
 
A second speed test returned speeds of 0.88 and 0.22 but that is my back up rig. I most often trade using a Verizon Mobile Hotspot which allows somewhat better speeds (most of the time). I'm still hopeful that Starlink will be a better solution. Verizon download speed will range from 3.0 to 29.0

That's quick! In the range of "Bob Munden" fast. Ever hear of him?

Nope, but have googled, no thinking there just change colour and click I had mouse pressure on so 1gram more and click, gaming experience.

Helps in fights, nobody gets a punch through to me, they punch I block, I return they run away.

As low as 20ms in some beta testing - but still in early stages of course. It's going to take time to iron everything out. I imagine they will have problems to deal with at the point they open it to the masses because of the huge draw on the system.

Bunch of smart people over there at Starlink - they'll figure it out.
 
I know a guy who has traded with Hughs Satellite service. It will reach the speeds they claim, but will have outages in rain similar to DirectV tv service.

I had 0.50mps when I first had broadband 19years ago, used to take all night to download a "24" episode bad times, think I've got 350mps currently, got 7 users on it mind with next door streaming TV.

I drop to 4G for games normally, more reliable.

I'd just run off 5G but no towers here yet either unfortunately.
