Is only part if the problem but for the computer side it is the main one... Satellite internet has built in problems mainly being lag time.There is a minimum of .6 second lag for sat service and there is no way around that.They attempt to alleviate it by caching but it is not a lot of help...DSL is way way better I went from sat service to DSL from Frontier and had 1.3 download speeds and was way ahead of sat service even at that low speed.
