Sorry but I do not understand the graphs.  The URL sounds great.

For my part, I can tell that I follow one particular sat chosen 
arbitrarily (STARLINK-6064) on a public database since some weeks now 
and it keeps at around 360km altitude.   That is much lower than 
500-or-so usual.  Maybe it is that lower altitude that permits a higher 
performance (lower latencies).

(there are other sats even lower, but not sure whether they're there in 
error or on their way up).
