i know Highspeed Satilight is great for downloading but what about Gaming? I think Compared to Cable or DSL highspeed Satilight,DSL and Cable is better but what if i have 512 mb download speed compared to highspeed Satilight.. then whats better?
Answer:
Well, the DSL. For Satellite you have to go up and then down from the satellite then wired to the end point so there is lag, lots of it. The up down speed is just PART of the issue. Sure 512 is 512 but 512 wired is much faster delivery of packets thus less delay in sending and receiving.
Just check some of the forums, you can use satellite but for gaming it just doesn't work well. (Put in simpler terms, ping times through satellite are slow in spite of the available bandwidth!) The same issue applies for VOIP you get echos etc due to the delay times.
Hope that helps.
