Yours; 450ms. We're talking two degrees of slow here Thomas. If I was (shudder) selling 1-way, I positively could not use "low latency" as a selling point - well, not with a straight face anyway.

Now please address remote upgrades to -S2.

On your other Q: I guess we'll have to cross that bridge at that time. Today the 10 series is still viable on the platform and I recommend folks continue using them]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sky-FxSkyway-modem-23749673 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:07:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sky-FxSkyway-modem-23749518
Regarding my latency question, I'll concede up front that - much to my consternation - the FCC has lowered the bar, so that now many 1-way satellite systems do satisfy their definition of "high speed" (high speed = >200k in at least one direction). But please explain how you can possibly justify describing your product as a "low latency" internet connection. Your own subscribers have not infrequently reported PINGs in excess of 450ms, 350+ being closer to the norm. That AIN'T low latency on anybody's scale. Now if you want to claim that 1-way RTTs are slightly lower than those of 2-way, I can't disagree. But do NOT try to pass off 1-way satellite as a "low latency" internet connection.

Please elaborate your "low latency" claim.

meant to say "lower latency" ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sky-FxSkyway-modem-23748805 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:36:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sky-FxSkyway-modem-23733229 said by bbinabox:

Unlike other providers, these modems are all remotely upgradable and will be good to go for years of consistent, low latent, high speed Internet connections.
Interesting if true. Please confirm that the 1x series can be remotely upgraded from DVB-S to DVB-S2. If you can actually do that, one would then have to wonder why time and money was ever invested in the 2x series

Oh, and please elaborate on "low latent".

And most providers WANT subscribers to upgrade. Most need only a little cajoling to upgrade you for free.
