Internet Connection Nightmare

[LVGamb00ler]

There are two factors when talking about the speed of an internet connection. One is bandwidth which is the measurement that everyone talks about. The other important factor is called latency. For a satellite link, it could be quite high (that's bad!).

Internet poker doesn't require a lot of bandwidth. But since it sends/receives a lot of small messages, the latency factor should be low for a reliable/stable connection.

Since I have never tried a satellite link for poker, I don't know if the latency really is a problem. I just wanted to point out that it COULD be a factor when considering that type of link.

G'luck all,
