It's still kind of hilariously sad to me that today's https://www.pcmag.com/news/starlink-speeds-drop-significantly-in-the-us-amid-congestion-woes - the speedtest.net test they cited peaked at 5 SECONDs of queuing delay, which is the real cause of how users perceive "low speed". Why is that not the headline? Anything more than a second's queuing delay is a gateway to "congestion collapse", and no more than 20ms at any achievable bandwidth - with the right algorithms in play, would be a VASTLY better network.
