* All satellite internet systems have a signal lag called latency. Latency is the delay in your outgoing data request and the reply from the target server. This delay is a minimum of 600ms to 1000ms. Latency can affect time sensitive activities such as placing stock buy or sell transactions or placing last second bids to win an auction.
