In the case of satellite internet, it’s the time it takes for information to go from your device to your satellite dish, to your provider’s orbiting satellite, to a separate satellite dish at your ISP, and back again.Īs you can see, that’s a lot of steps. And latency has long been a strike against satellite internet. Latency is higher with satellite internet than it is for cable, DSL, and fiber internet. Cable, DSL, and fiber internet have latency in the 20–50 millisecond (ms) range, while satellite internet ranges can be close to 600 ms.īecause satellites are positioned 22,000 miles above the earth, satellite internet data just has a long way to travel. It’s also why we basically never recommend satellite internet over other types like cable. But if you live in the country or an area without better internet options, satellite might be your best (and sometimes only) choice. The most obvious effect of latency is on gaming. If you choose satellite internet, you might have to say goodbye to League of Legends.īut other online activities, like web browsing, emailing, and photo sharing, won’t be affected by latency much at all.DirecTV: Received "numerous" complaints 40 percent of programming reality TV: Gaming that requires ultra-quick responses, like first-person shooters (FPS), just doesn’t work very well with satellite internet. That, the constant drum of global warming hype, and the ridiculous naming of winter storms combined with an advertising heavy schedule pretty much drives away most reasonable thinking people. My friends, John Coleman and Joe D’Aleo, co-founders of the Weather Channel never set it up to be that way, but over the years, it lost its way from their original vision. See my interview with both of them here on the 30th anniversary.

Now what do I watch on DirecTV? The new far better replacement, WeatherNation TV on channel 361, which is close to the vision of the original TWC founders Coleman and D’Aleo. Of course, TWC isn’t taking this lying down, they’ve started a Twitter war.ĭIRECTV doesn't know the cost of dropping The Weather Channel, but you do.
