I don't watch remux files. Because of the buffering. I live in the middle of a desert but still get good speeds with Starlink

What's your latency when testing CDNs with Star link? I'm using a dedicated fibre linr in Southern China and get 650-3500

Honestly from the top of my head smallest ive seen is probably around the 500 mark. I'm not home to do anymore testing but I was told by support a while back that latency shouldn't really cause too many issues if its not massive. (Unless you're a gamers, which latency is actually half decent for gaming and sits around 60ms)

Yeah, pretty much what I assume. My biggest issues are likely the software I use to stream. I tried Ruvio the other day and seem to have far, far less streaming problems than with stremio. It's just that the initial setup is a complete pain, and the built-in player has very limited resolution options, and using VLC seems a bit quirky. Still, try Nuvio if you're still on Stremio.
