Granite Falls, WA | Whats 18Mbps if the latency is 10 seconds I mean all the down pipe in the world isn't going to fix the cluster F of DAMA and the latency they introduced. HTTPS is so slow it brings back the days of start the load of website go make coffee, let the dog out and by the time the dog's done with his business the site page might be ready for you.
At current latency is 1500ms whats it going to be for this 10000ms.
Yes I have WB propak and it is better than dialup and that is questionable at times. |

| Think about this -- when you request a website, that request is sent from your house 22,000 miles to the satellite in space then sent 22,000 miles back down to an internet gateway where the site is sent 22,000 miles from the gateway to the satellite and then from the satellite 22,000 miles back to your home.
That's 88,000 miles in 2 to 3 seconds. Yes -- that kind of latency is horrible for VoIP, gaming, etc.. but amazing considering the distance it travels. |

Granite Falls, WA | I'm compleatly aware of what has to happen with the signal. And I was with Wildblue back when the latency was 650ms-775ms and then 13 months later they introduced DAMA so they could overload the network and pushed the latency to 1500ms avg.

That's just phsyics. the only way you could lowe it is to bring the satelites closer to earth but then that means having to have many many more satelites |

| Actualy the limit is around 450 but 500 is a good real world minimum but Carralo is right, I had wildblue as well from their start up until they used DAMA restrictions to limit gaming on their network and then the pings went from always being under 800ms to never being under 1500ms so I dropped them and went back to Hughes and got the buissness plan with a 2 watt transmitter and went for over a year with them with pings never over 800 but now they have oversold my satt. and my pings have went up here as well.
