My average latency on Starlink over the past year is 32 ms. It varies throughout the day from around 20 to 40 ms.

If you are getting 90ms on fiber, you are either pinging a server that's a long ways away or something is very wrong.

If you look at the rest of the comments, you’ll see I was taking about my ping in a game. Not my shortest path to a nearby server.
