Once he get 20,000 birds up there maybe they'll do something like a cellular
handoff still there's going to be more jitter and packet loss, it seems. one
hell of a mathematician I also imagine it will take , to get it all
synchronized.

The difference has got to be with the number f ground stations. Unless my
understanding is incorrect, Geo-synchronous satellites have one ground station
per satellite. Starlink will have lots of ground stations with traffic split
between them Certainly not 12,000, but perhaps one ground station per every two
or three rings? I'm guessing they could add ground stations in areas with a lot
of traffic as well?

A graceful hand-off might only give you a brief moment of jitter.
My skepticism is directed at capacity. I haven't seen how 12,000 satellites
gives you 12,000X capacity like some people seem to assume. Once you've used
every channel in a certain area then you don't get more of them no matter how
many more AP's you install.
Maybe the plan is after you Hughesnet's lunch you buy them out and use their
channels too. Repeat with Viasat etc.

"Initial results have been good," she said. These tests reveal "super-low
latency," and download speeds greater than 100 megabits per second. This, she
noted, would provide enough bandwidth to play the fastest online games and
stream multiple HD movies at once.
I'm wondering what happens when it needs to swap to another dish, the
tracking will need to change fast and that delay would probably kill any gamers
in the heat of battle :)
