[Asterisk-Users] Satellite Providers

[Bruce Komito]

We looked at this earlier this year and, after evaluating several
companies, could not get it to work well enough.  The problem didn't seem
to be latency, but rather lost packets in the upstream direction.  Most of
the time, we couldn't even get the phone to register, but even when we
could, there was such a large amount of breakup (in the up direction) that
it was nearly unusable.  We tried low-end, consumer type services and they
didn't work at all.  Even the high-end services that claim to offer
guaranteed bandwidth apparently do not live up to their claims.  We tried
running G.729, which should only need about 32-40k over a link that
claimed to guarantee 64k, and the best we got was broken sound.
