' Wrote:it's the sat internet. yes you have a high transfere speed but there is a lag involved with the sat responce time.

Well the satellite used for this kind of thing are on GEO orbits.... and speed of light simply is not THAT big.

36000 km to the satellite - 120ms one way speed of light only. So you - satellite - server - satellite - you that's 480ms only for simple propagation......

It's just that I had exam in Satellite communication on Thursday :)
