That would get old pretty quick. Satelliteâs latency, or perceived speed is almost 20 times slower than a land based service such as e-vergentâs. This is because the e-vergent signal is traveling a fraction of the miles compared to satellite links.
Latency is important when someone is directly interacting with another computer, as the amount of lag between the two computers can make some tasks very difficult (such as editing a file). Bandwidth, on the other hand, is not concerned with latency. When downloading a large file, it may be perfectly acceptable to have a 3-4 second wait before the file begins to download. Networking latency is the time it takes for a single packet to go from your computer, to another host and back. Latency is generally measured in milliseconds.
