EPTI've heard that it will be open for north american first.
Would be great if some of you get the beta testing pass and share some insights about latency or may be even try SC:R with it and tell us about what it's like.
Thanks

But I don't know if Starlink is planning to serve as another conduit of trans-oceanic internet traffic to take advantage of this? Latency should be fine, but it won't have the bandwidth to serve hundreds of thousands of customers in dense areas (since they'd all be talking to the same set of satellites). So my guess is it'll be just as good to ladder on as current broadband options, but don't expect it to improve the connection to your opponent. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/03/musk-says-starlink-isnt-for-big-cities-wont-be-huge-threat-to-telcos/ That is what I've heard. Even on Fiber, I have latency with europeans, central-south americans and koreans. Barely even better then my home cable tbh. I haven't heard spacex pitched as an improvement for well developed countries but instead as a global net for underdeveloped countries-areas and for ... ships at sea and potentially aircraft. Supposedly, this project is already serving up an encrypted military beta, or so I read. Would be hilarious if multiple countries ran military networks across the same satellites - hilarious ... like stupid. I really wish we had more players in NA .... | ||

I once read that you can accelerate the speed by using magnets, e.g. if you wrap around your ethernet cable around a fridge. | ||

I am curious how this would help get to 0ms and no lag world wide gaming, I understand a little but I am not a network engineer Signal will be routed through space via sattelites, this should give significant impact on decreasing latency. | ||

In general better queue management or transport protocols are more likely to affect the issue but that seems like a nice wristband solution until blizzard decide to look at their transport or ISPs show some love for game traffic. | ||
