I don’t know what your location is but a wireless internet provider using Canopy or Ubiquity or whatever is much more preferable. Also cellular is used in “remote” locations with good results.
I know plenty of people "in the bush” that use these alternatives over VSat. I use the above over VSat when I am out on fishing trips to remote locations. For truly remote where there is no options other than VSat <sigh> you need to live with the latency problems for now. Iridum is currently too slow and too costly. Maybe LEO or MEO in the future but not now. I have used SSH from a transatlantic flight but the delay can weigh on you ;-) Tom > On Jun 22, 2015, at 8:18 PM, Alfred Olton <alfredol...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I had Hughes Net a few years back and can confirm that SSH access was > pretty much intolerable for me. > The delay between what I was typing, and when it would actually show up on > the screen in the remote terminal was really annoying for me. > As mentioned in previous responses, I think you would want a low orbit > satellite internet provider, if you can find one for residential use. > > In my case, I had a land line, but was too far out for ADSL, so I ended up > getting ISDN (*with unlimited local calling on my phone plan*). > Of course the SSH usage experience then was much better. > > Al > > On 06/22/2015 04:04 PM, Hugo Slabbert wrote:> Personally, 500-700ms of > delay is well within distinguishable range and >> causes challenges in verbal communication.
