You can't violate the laws of nature. That satellite is 24,000 miles up, so every time you access the net, there's an absolute minimum of a ½ second delay before you see the response on your screen. Since light travels at 186,000 miles per second, you're stuck with the time delay of four trips equaling a tad under 100,000 miles. I typically get 10 to 20 MB speed on Exede satellite, but that ½ sec makes it seem much slower. (My only alternative is 56k land line which I would find totally obnoxious to have to go back to.)

I had satellite internet (essentially Hughes. net) for about three years before a wireless ISP opened shop in our area. My typical pings were on the order of 1300-1500 msec. I don't think you'd want to live with that for anything other than casual ragchewing.
