But seriously, they did reduce overall latency by cutting in half the # of trips up and down to handle one internet transaction:
One of the satellite's special features is an on-board Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch. In other satellite Internet systems data sent to the satellite has to be sent to an earth station, demodulated, switched to its destination and then remodulated and sent again via the satellite to reach its destination. --

I'll put up with some latency for speeds like that- though I don't play online games much. |
