Correction 200MBPS is good for game downloads where modern games are like 50 GB plus, but actually playing online games relies on LATENCY (how long does information take to get to the service and back to you) REALTIME COMMUNICATION DEPENDS ON THIS AS WELL ,SO if star link latency is just too high then it's not a good pick for online gamers like myself

@TheJayair Жыл бұрын

That is a great idea, but first you have to make sure that, they have built a bas station near you rural area. What I mean is that, it's not like you're directly getting a one to one connection with the satellite. By my knowledge they have to have built a ground base station to receive the data and send that same data to the base station so that it can read your data and resend it back to you. So you have to do some research before purchasing it.
