Re: wireless latency

I guess you wont be using voIP over that connection. Why is latency so high?
Actually 500ms is not too bad for VoIP, pretty much like regular calls via satellite. The problem with VoIP over NationalAccess is that I only get maybe 20kbps upstream and my VoIP software doesn't have a high-complexity codec (eg g.723), so there just isn't enough bandwidth. I'm using a Mac with a bluetooth connection to a Motorola 710 which is in my back pocket. If I want to talk to somebody, I have to disconnect and use the handset like God intended.

As for why the latency is so high, I'd be interested in knowing that myself. The lag is definitely between me and the first pingable router, so it is likely to be from somewhere in the wireless delivery network.
