  1. As you say, gaming is not an official business activity. As I passed the age of 14 many years ago,
    internet gaming is not something I, or my clients, are interested in. The client uses the satellite
    for email downloads and general internet access. Any delay is not relevant, as the bottleneck still
    tends to be the rest of the internet.

    I totally agree with the problem you mentioned...which is why I pointed out that its Satellite
    up and down - no landline needed. Latency is not noticeable (except perhaps for the first
    connection of the day, when the communication link is fired up for the first time).

    There are a lot of companies out there still offering Satellite which requires the landline, and
    some are very expensive as well! I avoid them like the plague!! Its early days, but I think BT
    may have a half-decent solution here.

    Presumably that means satellite delay in both directions. I'm surprised

    latency isn't noticeable as its one or two seconds trip time for each packet. Are the speed test
    sites you are using streamed download or interactive up and downloads? Its the latter that tend
    to suffer. Tried any gaming on it for example (I know that's not an official business activity
    though ;-)

    VOIP and desktop conferencing is and there latency can make it very difficult to use.
