Reply to comment by SFXBTPD in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico

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.

That's not that bad. I was consistently 700+.

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.
