Ah wow, I didn't realize that Starlink is a service specifically planning to address latency! Thanks.

And, in practice, the latency will actually be better than fibre. So instead of a 240msec ping to the US from NZ, it'd be closer to the theoretical minimum of 25msec, but by how much, who knows? I could see a realistic 50-80msec perhaps.

Which is still pretty mind-blowing.
