I should also note that many of the simulated Starlink paths between NYC and London are actually higher latency than the best fiber path, which is less than 60 ms (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2010/09/first-nyclondon-...). The author ignores routing and RF delays in the space network, but compares RTT to the public Internet. A joke.

These don’t include the latency cost to get through the atmosphere, or cost of routing at each satellite. As such they are fairly worthless.
