Hello Nadim,
I don't how far this applies to our ISPs (Emtel) but there's some theory on Wikipedia [1] about latency for internet satellite dish. I quote:
" The absolute
minimum total amount of delay
is variable, due to the satellite
staying in one place in the sky,
while ground based users can be
directly below with a roundtrip
latency of 239.6 ms, or far to the
side of the planet near the
horizon with a roundtrip latency
of 279.0 ms. [12]
For an internet packet, that
delay is doubled before a reply is
received. That is the theoretical
minimum. "

Yes the Airbox packages appear interesting price-wise and there is no
capping too.
I quote from the page Emtel Airbox webpage:
*Step 5:*
*A dish antenna will be positioned on the most suitable area outside your
house and the modem will be installed inside at your desired location.*
My question is this: what will be the latency? Better than MyT? Can anyone
share his experience on this, please.
