[–] dtaht 4y ago ↗ It's not rocket science for starlink to make their bandwidth better. It's IETF rfc7567, rfc8289, rfc8290, & rfc8033, published many years ago. [–] tuatoru 4y ago ↗ Actually it is rocket science.Bandwidth is a function of power draw. To transmit faster, they need bigger PV panels and bigger batteries, which means bigger satellites, which means rocket science.Latency, on the other hand, they can control without rocket science.
