|  Skyway USA and online gaming..
I've a question. Since Skyway's upload is through dial-up does that mean you could play an online game using your Skyway USA connection and have no lag? Or no extra lag that HughesNet and WB would cause, since you wouldn't have that move-one-step-and-freeze-for-10-seconds lag that comes from having to wait for the upload speed to come from the satellite. Would it be like playing it on a 56k dial-up conn? |

| If you were using skyway for the download you'd still be making a one-way trip over the satellite (but noticably less lag than a two-way trip if you don't need faster-than-dialup speed on the upload side but do need faster-than-dialup speed on the download side.)

I've played WoW and a few other games over Wildblue. They are fine most of the time.
I attempted WoW over Skyway, in the mornings it was great 700-900ms pings. But in the evenings (after 4:00pm central) it was unplayable, constant discos, horrible warping...
