Which satellite service provider did you try? What aspect(s) were unsatisfactory? (My own experience with Exede has been working out better than I expected.)Sattelite didn't cut it.
Yes, for interactive work through VNC or even just ssh the latency through GEO is too high. If you do a lot of that then it is a killer. Ping round trip time to most places from my home is on the order of 0.7 seconds. But I've used Skype quite successfully and routinely do real time interactive Webex demos from home. Those are successful mostly because they involve streaming data, so one-way latency isn't so bad.bartmc said:Hughesnet. But, The physics don't work. I use VPN, VNC, SSH etc... And th latency is too high.
