16ms lag? What does the latency reading report on a speedtest?


16ms Seems unlikely since the geostationary satellite is rather a long way up there! 500ms round trip delay is fairly typical. Makes on line gaming almost impossible and you will probably notice the delay if using VOIP (eg Skype). Friends found that calls using Apple VOIP services were almost unusable since the network introduce additional satellite hops.
