Yes, yes ssh and telnet are going to be slow and "don't call us if
they suck" is the standard satellite provider line. However FTP, POP, SMTP
being unavailable generally qualify you for broken network status whether
they are interactive or not.
However in this case the satellite user can reach other sites on
the internet via those protocols, just not me and roughly since the
