I misread a different article which said spacex originally planned to have these satellites orbit around 800mi and I mistook that as normal altitude.

The analysis is basically the same for 800 miles. That's 5 milliseconds per leg. Geostationary is 22000 miles.

Though if you got 25%... did you calculate 115 milliseconds of speedup? That's the speedup for one leg. A ping to a server has to travel that distance four times.
