There are basically 3 components to the latency ...
The RT light-time [approx 24,000 miles] is about 250 ms and is
constant. There is a latency within the transponder, which used to run
around 200 ms, I don't know what the newer ones might be, if there are
any. That too is probably fairly constant. There is also some latency
in the ground terminal equipment, plus the normal latency between it,
you, and the remote. That varies over time. All told, I wouldn't be
surprised to see RT latency in the 700 -800 ms range.
With RT ping times in the 35-55 ms range plus whatever delays are
introduced by two RemoteRig RRC's, I don't notice it. 99% of the time,
the I'net connection is solid. Very occasionally, dropouts will
essentially make the remote unusable.

Yep, I run around 600ms on Viasat satellite Internet.
