Lesseeee 22,400 x 2 /186000= 240 mS one way. So 480 mS ping RT under perfect conditions.
But in real life it is twice that. No idea why. Perhaps they are using another satellite connection for backbone feed.

When a ping to a terrestrial server has to travel >90,000mi, the latency will never be better than half a second. Musk wants to do a large constellation of low orbit birds.
