[Starlink] NZ latest latency report

[David Fernández]

I think they could recommend the RSP to provide better devices, but
SamKnows should then provide Whiteboxes that replace the device
provided by the RSP, to demonstrate that it can be done better, and
then compare the measurements with the original device provided by the
RSP vs. the better ones.

Tables 3, 4 and 5 in the report (starting at page 37) give some
latency measurements to different servers by Retail Service Provider
(RSP).

I have not seen specified in the report the duration of the
measurement tests. Why do you suspect the test is not running long
enough? What should be the duration of the tests?

They are reporting the average value for measurements and the range
where 95% of measurements fall, leaving out of the range the 2.5%
lower measurements and the 2.5% higher, I understand. What does they
"should be pulling from higher than what appears to be the 75th
percentile" mean?

Regards,

David
