> Not sure if Starlink satellites are in orbit around/over Australia yet, but I wouldn’t go with that option anyway due to the latency alone.
I believe it is being trialled in some places in Aus already. I will admit, I've been signed up for the beta for a while and it's _supposed_ to be coming to my area sometime in 2022, though that may be delayed due to the chip shortage stuff.
I think the latency is supposed to be 45-60ms on average, which while not as good as fixed line obviously, is leagues better than old fashioned high orbit satellite broadband which is about 600~ms.~
@eldersnake yep. And when its sat to sat connections are online it will have better cross planet latency than under sea cable. FWIW
