That 800ms latency looks nasty
Welcome to Sat internet. My Hughes runs every bit of 800+ all the time. Most of the time can't get over 3 meg down, if that. YouTube in standard has to buffer most of the time. We go over out data cap nearly every month, which they don't charge you but "throttle" your speed. Lately, normal speed has been so slow it's a neck and neck race anyway so I just tell the kids to go for it, I use to try to restrict it to try and meet the cap but doesn't seem much slower after we're over it. We can't do netflix or amazon prime, even if it would play it 3 movies a month would put us over if we did NOTHING else with it. Local wireless hotspot plans are down in the 25 GB range a month as well, no way to do anything much and stay under that.
