From various monitoring points I have on multiple internet connections.

One of the promises of starlink was it would stay in space as long as possible before being downlinked, giving far lower latency, alas that hasn't happened yet, and traffic will run thousands of miles in the wrong direction before being downlinked. For example from one location to another I have 360ms via Starlink but just 200ms rtt via local provision (5g p2p wireless then optical). On another it used to downlink in Lagos, but now it downlinks in Nairobi, meaning traffic to Lagos routes Nairobi -> Marseille -> Lagos, taking far longer than it used to. A shame really.
