    Something tells me you’re not getting sub 100ms latency with broadband over 19 million miles

      They’re new high tech lasers that go faster than the speed of light!

        Actually, most latency issues at that scale are due to the relays themselves. Earth diameter is only 42 light-ms

      I mean, if their point was that a straight-shot laser had lower point-to-point latency than a system with a bunch of non-direct links, intermediate switches, routers, mix of copper and fiber, etc… Well, no kidding.

      Didn’t say anything about 100ms though. I was guessing maybe they read 100ms though. Still not sure what the point was.
