11. What online activities don't perform well with a satellite connection ?Although satellite provides much higher throughput than dialup, because of the higher latency (500-1000ms) associated with the distance data must travel, certain time-sensitive online applications might not work well. Even if they do work, they may perform same as, or worse than a regular dialup Internet connection.
Some examples of such programs are Voice / Video over IP (NetMeeting, NetPhone, etc.), VPN applications, online real-time games, such as Quake, CounterStrike, EverQuest, Diablo, etc.
