Latency is the number that decides whether video calls and gaming feel right, and it is where satellite differs most from everything else. Measured data is statewide: below county level there are usually too few tests to report an honest number.

Low-earth-orbit satellite. Latency is low enough for video calls and most gaming, unlike older satellite services.
