Starlink is definitely faster than all but the most expensive GEO services (and those require specialized hardware)

there’s no fundamental physics limitation that makes this true. in fact, light in a vacuum travels faster than in glass fiber, so the theoretical latency of LEO internet is actually faster compared to fiber over a certain distance

Yeah it’s an enormous pain in the ass. I don’t bother anymore

it’s also not always easy to buy those. nobody wants to use cryptocurrency unless it is easy to get cryptocurrency
