Starband sucks (Score 1)

The latency is horrible. It has to travel over 44 thousand miles before it gets to the POP. They are seriously oversubscribed, so my requests for web pages time out half of the time. Thank God I'm getting my cable modem this afternoon. I currently have my sat modem connected to an ethernet port with internet connection sharing enabled. It works well, but it is ungodly slow, even taking into account the latency. There are times I get pissed and just use a dial-up.
