Oh, and that speed of light issue. We are trying to work around that with things like TCP packet spoofing.
If I'm playing a game online how is that going to help? If I push the button to fire a weapon it's still going to take over 1/2 second to respond. Which is way too long. You can't "spoof" me pressing X for FIRE since you have no clue what I want to do.
Only way to fix latency with satellites is to use low earth orbit ones which means LOTS of satellites which would be VERY expensive to launch and even more expensive to maintain and control.
the speed is about the same (unless you count sat's daytime throttle), but 150ms as opposed to 1000+ makes it way better for about everything. And the FAP was less slow you down and more choke you to death til you give up trying to use it.
I have no cap and its 20 bucks less than I ever paid for sat. -- HN7000S G16 970Mhz
