Starlink is also satellite internet, right?

[sph]

Starlink satellites are ~500 km in altitude. Regular satellite internet is in geostationary orbit at ~35,000 km in altitude.

The difference in latency is massive. 3ms vs 220ms roundtrip time at the speed of light.

Yes, but the low altitude of the satellites makes a big difference.
