If you are subscribed to Starlink (internet), what is it like when relying on satellite connection for both online live service play (as in multiplayer) and casual gaming? I’ve heard that star link internet sucks, is the subscription even worth the money? How well does satellite connection hold up in comparison to oceanic fiber optic cable internet? (Which is the most common form of connecting for the majority as it’s been around longer).
I’m probably wrong but I recall ping times were like 200ms or something? I’ve played with worse but it wasn’t awesome. I’m too lazy to Google it though so grain of salt and whatnot
I use it (begrudgingly, but options out here suck), you’re wrong. It’s closer to 70-80ms at worst. Though it has definitely improved over time, it may have been worse during the early beta.
That sounds more accurate honestly. I’ve never had it but read about it in regards to this years ago. Honestly that’s doable if you can swallow it.
You are probably thinking of ping times on the old satellite internet services. Those were terrible , barely better than dialup. Starlink is LEO so ping is much better
