    To make it competitive with local Internet, so all services work well. On high latency connections lots of stuff like websockets, etc. will struggle too.

      It’s competitive because as you describe, it’s better than all other available forms of Internet access.

      I used web sockets exactly once in an interactive piece of software. It worked perfectly fine with over-the-ocean latencies, which are higher than Starlink.

      It’s a non-problem.
