Re: Is satellite online gaming giong to be smooth...

The problem with gaming over a satellite connection is the latency (ping times). A round trip by satellite is close to 100,000 mi or ~4X around the circumference of the earth so the ping times are quite high compared to a dialup connection.

If you want to know more about a satellite internet connection please read sections 2 and 3 of our FAQ. You'll find them helpful.
