I agree with Nick here...

My coworker had a task to evaluate performance from Australia to our
guacamole in Northern Virginia. Despite using a VPN to jump to Australia
before circling back (VA-> Australia->VA), the latency he observed was in
the ~1-2 second range. Even if satellites are involved, I can't see a round
trip time over 4 seconds being possible without an underlying problem.

In my experience, guacamole has rarely been the failure point if anyone
else can access the same connection. It almost always is a problem on the
users side... Either network, plug-in/extension, security software, or ISP
problem.
