| Essentially it was never to be used in a conversational manner. It is not a priority to acknowledge data packets being sent and received as the data is meant to be streamed in long bursts is my understanding of it.
Which makes sense for this method of broadband as you are right, the distance makes for a huge lag anyway and would time-out any other connection. |
