I like Starlink, but I take issue with this statement..
This is what we in the trade call 'bollocks'. Information travels at the speed of light in a vacuum, the same as it does in a fibre optic cable.
Where it benefits is from a reduced number of devices between the endpoints which take a couple of milliseconds each to process and route the traffic - that doesn't actually mean the traffic travels faster, there's just fewer devices to slow it down as it moves across the network.

This is so wrong, i'll just go ahead and assume your trade isn't optical physics.
Thank you Sir, the level of misunderstanding of the fundamentals of science in this thread is bordering on full blown retard.
