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...

I am absolutely serious.
When the symptoms are:
A little rain has no effect, not matter how long it goes on but when the clouds get real tall and dense or the rain falls REAL heavily, then there is an outage.....that magically starts working again when the clouds or rain thins out and NOT when the rain actually stops......indicates a loss of radio signal and NOT a signal degradation because the receiving equipment is a little damp.
Then.....the end links are not multi-routed. There is only one path from me to my ISP. When you set up a particular system, you get to define how far that end link goes and at what point it joins the big network.
IF.....a given system is set up so that the end link goes 500 miles to a hub for that provider......or 5000 miles....and it has only one path to get there, there is no reason that link can not be a radio system of some kind, including sat. Now it might piss off a few gamers but I still don't believe that there is any guarantee for minimum latency and no guarantee that a sat will not be used in your end link path.
