Internet options for full timers

Still way worse than cellular. With the satellite located 22,300 miles above the Earth the time it takes to get a signal from your computer to the satellite, back to the Earth station, out to the internet, back to the Earth station, back to the satellite and back to your computer creates a substantial delay (ping times or latency) compared to cellular or cable. Internet requests via cellular are usually somewhere in the 39 ms time frame when each request using satellite can take 500 ms or more (300-700ms average). Many satellite providers use proxy services that allow multiple requests at the same time to help over come this problem but proxies can also render some software and connections unusable, especially those wanting to use some kind of VPN or financial software.
Easier to point is also an interesting statement. Certainly easy to point when you only need to find 1 satellite, but the size of the antenna and tripod setup required for a reliable setup is big and bulky and no fun at all to setup on a rainy day!
