I can't figure out what this sentence means.

I think it means pretty much all Starlink users have at least some data go over laser links every two hours. Which is a bit of surprise to me, if true. I have a year or so of fine-grained latency detail taken with IRTT on a Starlink connection, I should sit down and see if I can see times I'm using a satellite. Latency is highly variable in Starlink though so it's pretty noisy data.

Hey, I’m very curious if you’ve seen any improvement in latency over the past month.

not in the last month but I had a major improvement 11 months ago. still not clear what they did, but best guess is shifting load.
