    Default satellite internet?

    Ive always been very high up in the ratings, I just moved to a temporary house while i wait for my highrise (I still love saying it), and all i have is the option of satellite. While the internet speeds are very high, (Ive never gotten below 3 in upload, my placement seems to be much much lower, and i dont like working like this. Why might it be doing this? Is it my internet?holycrap.JPG

    My husband installs satellite internet/tv and I was the manager at a retail store that sold it. Satellite internet is not good at all for streaming. It's fine for regular internet surfing but it's very hard to use it for work.

    Definitely the satellite I would say is your problem. It is horrid for gaming and horrid for streaming too.

    I use it for streaming on SM with the encoder. It's my only option living out in the sticks... my delay is usually 2 seconds.

    I'm not sure how to help with your issue but that's great speed for satellite. Mind if I ask how your feed is (meaning is placement the only issue) and what provider you use?

    Actually, the ping is disgusting.
    Ive never had any streaming problems, runs smooth, never lags, no complaints, I was very impressed until i realized my placement was suffering. Im trying to get my ISP to change my tower to smoth out the ping some. I have another internet service here, that is satellite, and the ping is only 32... Which is still high... That just shows HOW HIGH 800 is. Any other suggestions with ping? I dont know much about it, but ive changed my DWORDS threw the degeit and nothing changed.

    the ping is always going to be crazy with sat. internet because there is automatically a 3/4ths of a second delay for the signal getting bounced to the satellite and then back to your house
