The latency figures reported so far have been measured during coverage periods. As such adding satellites won't help. You'd actually have to improve the tracking and routing to make a difference.     Jared From: "Darin Steffl" To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group"

Keep in mind they don't have enough satellites launched yet for full coverage. It's moderate coverage. Their beta invites specifically say that they can expect interruptions and periods of downtime until more satellites are launched and reach their desired orbits. On Tue, Nov 3, 2020, 9:35 AM

This is BETA! It will only get better and they're targeting less than 20ms next year. Averages are about 40ms now so they're well below the 100ms threshold on average which is what matters, not the couple pings that are higher. On Tue, Nov 3, 2020, 9:30 AM wrote: > The first beta testers have

The first beta testers have received their UFOs and performance reports are emerging. While download speeds are respectable on an empty network, Starlink's main weakness is its highly variable latency. Typical beta user minimum latencies are in the mid 30ies with very high variability. Ping

That makes some sense to me. They need to price it high enough to tamp down demand until they get their constellation populated. Full deployment may take some time; even launching 60 at a time. If they get the BFR operating, rumor is they could launch 300 at a time. This will be fun to watch
