Interesting, IMHO the long latency could be tuned to make the throughput much greater. If you are using a Windows O/S you can change the TCPip settings in the registry. I use the free "TCPOptimizer" tuned for a latency of 140 ms and I am now getting cable broadband speeds of 24.5 Mbs on some fast servers in the UK.
