    Lower latency than broadband…?

    If you’re getting >100s ping times you might want to have them come out to check your lines.

      Something tells me you’re not getting sub 100ms latency with broadband over 19 million miles

        I mean, if their point was that a straight-shot laser had lower point-to-point latency than a system with a bunch of non-direct links, intermediate switches, routers, mix of copper and fiber, etc… Well, no kidding.

        Didn’t say anything about 100ms though. I was guessing maybe they read 100ms though. Still not sure what the point was.
