SpaceX working with Cloudflare to speed up Starlink service (opens in new tab)

This article is very vague, but I’ve heard complaints on HN before about Starlink cgnat not working well with Cloudflare.

Is this just announcing Starlink is peering privately with Cloudflare now, perhaps solving some of those issues?

Or is this some bigger partnership where Cloudflare is running some portion of Starlink’s internet connectivity?

Most other reporting online is just parroting this Reuters piece so I haven’t seen much interesting additional info.

Starlink latency is still too high, and goodput is too low, especially as they oversubscribe their service. This will help a bit, but it’s no panacea for Starlink’s woes.

>Starlink is one of a growing number of makers of small satellites that are focused on providing satellite-based internet, including Amazon.com's (AMZN.O) Kuiper, Britain's OneWeb and venture capital-backed Planet.

Planet is in the earth observation business, not satellite internet

Any indication of whether the vague “2023” promise for the large swathe of Eastern United States availability will actually come to fruition? Or is it like Autopilot in that it will perpetually be 6 months in the future?
