If Russia takes out all the Internet cables like the news is saying. How much of that traffic can be re-routed to satellite?

Would Starlink and other satellite ISP's be able to mitigate some of the traffic?
You're viewing a single thread.
A large amount but at 500ms+ latency it might as well be useless for most applications.
if by "most" you mean "a scant few applications that can't tolerate it" then sure. US to Germany pings are currently ~120ms. Not many things that can't tolerate 500ms outside of gaming.
Rather than number of unique applications, I meant amount of traffic when I said "most."
Stock exchanges, some but not all streaming services, gaming, and any form of direct human communication over internet would be heavily impacted. It could also potentially increase frequency of timeouts during authentication attempts which would make everything else slightly more annoying to use as well.
