Just as a heads up, you'll be downvoted, not because you're mentioning latency, but because your comment is low effort and basically complaining about discussions in a place where discussions are kind of the point.

Is there any new information about latency since before that you want to expand on?

Cause with satellite is ALL about latency. It’s THE topic. Most comments here will reference it. It’s a critical issue. It doesn’t go away.

If you check out the comment I made earlier, I'm very aware of that (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24291548)

But it's more interesting if we discuss the latency itself, rather than complaining about previous discussions around the latency.

As it seems right now, the latency is more than alright, at least for people who are used to really shitty latency. Sure, it's not gonna replace your home connection if you live in-or-near a city, but for the rest of us, it's much better than what was offered before.

You have a point.

At 550k off the deck, my house to Los Angeles isn't that much closer via satellites link that terrestrial fibre, maybe a few hundred kilometres.

But by the existing evidence, the latency seems to be fine: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/i8n1s5/here_is_a_...
