My buddy can play multiplayer online videogames with it. His only complaint is it can take like half an hour to restart sometimes

The other internet i had couldn't even do Netflix. This one does better. If starlink was decent latency, i could possibly be convinced to switch.

I'm pretty sure it's consistent <100ms latency...

I may be misremembering, but around 70ms for avg. ping.

Starlink uses satellites in low earth orbit, much less latency than something like xplornet. Around 20ms according to their own website, googling around says 50ms or so.
