Satellite?
Emtel's Airbox service is based on Fiber Through The Air (FTTA) and is
an evolved, multi-plex communication channel based on radio frequency,
similar to WiMAX.
Due to the nature of radio waves traveling some distance the "expected"
latency might range between 200 and 250ms.
I'm on WiMAX and have an average latency of 290ms but services like
Skype or VoIP still work smoothly.
