Is there a latency issue with Hughes net that is preventing streaming?
No, the Gen 5 systems work fine with streaming. Current sat Internet does have long latencies (600 - 800 ms typical), but unless you're streaming service uses some sort of ACK-NAK protocol, then it's all good. Netflex, Apple TV, etc all work fine although YouTube video is usually the worst. However, I think that's a YouTube encoding issue rather than a HughesNet problem.
The only problems I've encountered with sat service latency is VOIP and uploading files us/ing WordPress.
Probably not a big issue here but live action gaming is near useless on a satellite connection.
To comment on an earlier post: while there are plenty of poorly performing WiFi systems out there I have managed to stay a number of places with solid WiFi service and allowed streaming.
