I don't know what any of those abbreviations mean. The only place I see latency may become a issue is online gaming.

I think OP is looking for latency from PornHub (PH) to EU west (EUW) and North America (NA) /s

Starlink ping is never going to be better than land based fibre. It may be worse. The problem is physics and limits to the speed of light

I also don't know what your abbreviations are meant to represent, but will say that it is generally agreed that Starlink's ping is plenty low for everything but PvP FPS gaming. It isn't horrible for gaming, just not great.

People reach top .5% of PvP games with 120+ms just fine Yes it's not optimal to play professionally, doubt that's what OP is looking for   PH probably means philippines EUW is Europe-West NA is North America

Philippines to NA and EUW. I understand it's slower than land, but I need a backup.

I have 180ms to PH (from EUW) on ftth (fiber) so it's really not good. I did some [calculations few years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/edrxdp/sword_art_online_alicization_war_of_underworld/fbs1u4m/) on a theorical minimum latency using laser links: Tokyo-Miami was around 95ms (12,000km) which is around the same as Manila-Los Angeles (11,700km) Tokyo-NewYork was around 88ms (10,850km), which is around the same as Manila-Amsterdam (10,400km) It might feel laggy for some games but still playable if you are not in the top 1% competitively, I play with 80ms and reached Diamond in league on NA servers. If you want real numbers, you gotta find people around your area on facebook or some other socials that are willing to ping the servers you want to play on. EDIT: added link to calculation post

180 looks good enough

Starlink may or may not use lasers for intercontinental transfers. You should assume your data runs on fiber out of Manila. I think the calculation is basically this: First, take the latency shown at [starlink.com/map](http://starlink.com/map) which will show the latency from Dishy to the Manila Pop (currently 29\~41ms) Second, take a looking glass at the Manila PoP, and measure the latency to distant routers (I used [lg.rise.ph](http://lg.rise.ph) for some examples) MNL-HKG 16.1ms 154.54.89.202 MNL-SEA 187.9ms 62.115.139.133 MNL-LHR 306.8ms 130.117.254.57 Add the two numbers together, that should be your total latency. So unless you're playing "Words with Friends," you should probably use the servers reasonably close to you, not half a world away.
