#2Speed is variable, capacity can be improved. The bigger question re Starlink is latency, which this test doesn't show.

Latency to where? One of the promises of starlink is reducing latency over mid distance - say transatlantic or even across the states, due to using vacuum rather than fibres. Will be interesting how HFT use it.
Starlink network is nowhere near complete so I’d expect things to only get better (until customers start piling on)

#4This is amazing. I know there will be latency issues, but for majority of web browsing, videos, etc, it shouldn't matter.
We are entering the era of spacenet and the future looks bright.
Imagine having devices as small as phones or set-top boxes that can directly access internet using satellites. It would lead to a revolution in many industries.

I saw these Starlink speed test results 2 weeks ago:

Seems like pretty solid latency :)

Why would HFT even consider using it? They are located as close as possible to the exchange they operate on, not across states or halfway across the world.

If I understood it correctly Starlink doesn't send between satellites yet, only satground. Satsat is a big point of starlink and when they roll that out the latency should go down, especially for starlinkstarlink comms I imagine.

Geographically distributed arbitrage?
