Subject: Latency is a satellite issue


Any and all satellite internet providers will have a latency issue - the delay from when you click a button to when the screen reacts.

Stop to think of it - you click a button on your screen and the signal has to travel over 22,000 miles above the surface of the earth. It then has to return another 22,000 miles back to the head-end for your internet provider.

The action requested by your click then has to return back up to the satellite and back down to your receiver. But it doesn't always happen immediately, as it has to go into a que and wait it's turn to be sent back up the satellite.
