[the keyboard of geoff goodfellow]

*Super excited to be able to share some of what we have been working on
over the last few months!*
EXCERPT:

*Starlink engineering teams have been focused on improving the performance
of our network with the goal of delivering a service with stable 20
millisecond (ms) median latency and minimal packet loss. *

*Over the past month, we have meaningfully reduced median and worst-case
latency for users around the world. In the United States alone, we reduced
median latency by more than 30%, from 48.5ms to 33ms during hours of peak
usage. Worst-case peak hour latency (p99) has dropped by over 60%, from
over 150ms to less than 65ms. Outside of the United States, we have also
reduced median latency by up to 25% and worst-case latencies by up to
35%...*
