    I've just been looking at the qsat.ie website. I might be interested in the broadband, but can only see download/upload speeds on the website. Does anyone know;

    1. Latency
    2. Download limits

    Am I correct in thinking that ALL satellite BB services have latency of approx 600ms or thereabouts? Really, what I'm asking is qsat better than the 3 nbs satellite service.

    Thanks in advance.

    Typical ping is around 850ms and can be anything from 690-1200ms or more range.

    Typical Download limits are 4G - 8G per month.
