Well, that's certainly better than anything I've heard from colleagues 
who have satellite.  800ms is barely beyond the minimum speed-of-light 
required delay, so they're doing pretty well.  I think I could probably
live with those kinds of delays [although it'd make me a little crazy.. 
:o)]...  I wonder if Starband gets similar numbers [we already have DISH
and so if I went with Starband I could get by with just one dish]..

Thanks for the info/data!
