Not OP but I've setup a continuous reverse SSH from a farm in the South to a Comcast residential service in the Bay area.

SSH works but there's enough latency and other general network variation that makes me think it's not quite good enough an experience to spend a day remotely editting files.

For anything not requiring really low-latency, Starlink absolutely shines. Watching the local news from my childhood farm on the other side of the country via satellite internet feels like the future.

Ahh, kids of today.

I'm on traditional satellite for one week out of every two - at 600ms RTT. I'm either SSH'ing into hosts over that link, or worse, using a Citrix VDI to access (mostly) SSH terminals at the far end.

It's tolerable but far from enjoyable.

30ms latency would be an utter delight, not just compared to geostationary, but also compared to what we had in the late 20th century in terms of terrestrial connections.
