I guy in my flight squadron, has moved out ( waaay out ) of town , and he now uses Starband for his ISP.
It's a satillite connection, and according to them isnt good for gaming. His lats are in the 1700 range.. horrible to say the least... mine average 50-70 to most I game with ( but I use all the tricks I found thanks to this Wonderful Site ) and get incredible results from them.
Has anyone ever tried to tune a sattilite setup ?
its supposed to be rated @ 500k each way
Their techs say the dish adjustment is all he can do , and best @ optimal wil be in the 600-800 ms lats range.
I asked him on several occaisions to get me the .pdf's for the system , from their site, but he hasnt come across with them as of this post, so I have no idea what he's facing, but I intend to help.

thanks in advance.

Sat and gaming !??

Chess or Checkers is about it. It's NOT about Bandwidth, it's about latency... and SAT does NOT cut it in any way, shape, or form., Period.. Sorry.
