Once the laser based inter-sat links are running (Starlink 2.0?), it should be lower latency vs Fiber.
I understood it's not clear if this will ever happen. In local constellation it might, but supposedly technology does not currently actually exist to do it between constellations. I don't understand the topic at all, but I got impression that the precision of timing and accuracy of aiming needed is actually a very hard problem.
But agreed, should sat2sat communication become possible, there are many legs where starlink latency will improve upon terrestrial.
