before my area got loaded I saw 15-20ms RTT from my starlink terminal to downtown seattle, now more like 25ms.

i think the record low was 14.8 ms

I know you're usually here to promote starlink, but all ookla data shows starlink is 40+ms on average. it's dishonest to pretend 20ms will ever be normal.

I'm usually here to promote starlink? Before yesterday go through my comment history for weeks or months into the past and find how many times I mention it... Sheesh

For the record if oneweb or kuiper or telesat's proposed LEO networks existed as a viable, usable product right now and worked similarly I'd be equally enthused about them. (Yes, I know about Oneweb beta tests in Alaska)

it's not an attack, you are always pro starlink and I'm always anti starlink (in a business sense). there's nothing wrong with different opinions. I just don't agree with the comments that the latency, speed, or cost will stay the same in a positive way.
