Starlink has a 40 millisecond latency and it goes to space and back and then it goes through all of the additional routing issues you're talking about.

So I think you may be over estimating how much latency is inherent in the network.

It may not be that I have a low latency connection...maybe you have an exceptionally high latency connection.

Maybe your apartment building has issues with the wiring?

You should really call your landlord. You're really missing out on how cool Stadia is.

In some cases Starlink can actually have less latency than wired connections. It's not so clear cut. Also not every internet problem is solved by calling the landlord. In fact, mine has basically nothing to do with my internet in the first place.

If you have 500ms ping on any sort of internet enabled software the problem is not the internet, it's something local to your building or computer.

100ms or less has been normal for over a decade on the most average connections. I have 60ms on my phone hot spot.

Right. I'd bet Starlink actually gets to skip a lot of the routing and repeating that landlines have to go through

[nickthemagicman]

40-100ms is standard latency on any sort of internet enabled software even on the most average connection, and has been for a decade or more. I get 60ms latency on my phone hot spot.

If you have 500ms ping your problem is not the internet, it's something local to your building or computer, I hate to be the one to break it to you!

Buddy we're way past the 500ms thing. I never said that I or anyone else has ever had a ping like that, it was just a hypothetical to illustrate how latency-tolerant most networked services are (to contrast with gaming).

[nickthemagicman]

Buddy you were the one who said you were running Netflix with that number.

Buddy are you paid by google to shill so hard?
