  • Hard to calculate exactly.

    Latency is lower through the atmosphere than in glass (I thought that air was worse, but turns out it's not. Makes sense. Glass is solid after all)

    So it could be even closer than that. But there's also the problem of the SL base station having to do the last bit of the route through fiber to the destination again. Do it also depends on where the base station is located in regards to the destination

  • Light in glass is actually surprisingly slow

    After some distance, starlink would have better latency, as while the signal needs to go through a bunch of km of slow atmosphere, it would make up for that by having a big part of the signal go through vacuum between satellites

    But latency isn't everything

    Fiber (when properly installed) is very stable. Satellite and mobile is always at least a little bit flaky

  • You really couldn’t just use C# for this Microsoft? REALLY???

    no. how else would a middle manager pad his CV with "lead the development of an important new programming language used by millions of customers"?
