I heard the best ping you can get with sattelite is 400ms.

susposedly sat sucks bigtime for gaming

128 DSL will yield lower pings for gaming than satellite. Sat's average around 300 ms latency.

a freind of mine had satalite when you had to use a modem for uploading ANYTHING and it would replay what you wanted thru that and send it down thru the sat....o man that sucked...you would click on a link and nothing would happend for like 20 seconds then BOOM! page there..>
