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 have a coworker occasionally on starlink. The big issue with both videoconferencing and I would assume also gaming, is the handover. Each satellite is in view only for around 90 second, then the antenna hast to switch to the next. This means that your latency keeps fluctuating and you drop packets every 90 seconds during the handover. It sounds miserable.
