[LibreQoS] [Starlink] NZ latest latency report

[dan]

I can imagine the end-to-end latency is something they might not want to
talk about.    I'm saying this in the context of the english speaking world
and transit times from AU and NZ to US, CA, UK.

Keep in mind that one-way, it's 35ms from Auckland to Los Angeles for those
photons in a vacuum, slightly more in a strand of glass.

Cross-planet content really needs to be latency insensitive until we get
some sort of FTL data streams lol.

But if you are stuck with 35ms across the ocean to the nearest english
speaking country, it's even more important to have the last mile be as low
latency as possible.

The 'content' can just be moved nearer, ie hulu and netflix and the like,
but realtime coms with American has an extra 35ms and London 65ms one-way
cost so you really can't afford to have 50ms to the end user on either side.
