The Equator and internet service??
Does being closer to the equator have anything to do with internet service? Up North it could be raining, sleeting, snowing cats and dogs and I ALWAYS had internet service. Here in Florida, EVER...

WRONG, There are at least two major undersea fiber cables connecting to CONUS....and more by simple relay.
I learn something new almost every day.
So, let's get back to the original quesion:
IF, as some of you claim, Internet service NEVER routes via satellite, how do you explain it going out of service every time there is a heavy rain ?? Some of that might be explained by a crappy provider who doesn't have battery backup during power failures but not all.
And secondly, how many ISPs are there who give a latency guarantee ?? I suspect none.
AFAIK, online gaming is the only thing that really cares about that and I'd bet that users who still do that in real time are a TINY number......if any at all.
