This would be useful for web browsing, research, and academic use only.

It would NOT be useful for gaming.

The Doctor and others are correct. There is a delay caused by the distance a signal transmission travels from the earth to the satellite (in geosynchronous orbit) then back to earth. On average, with the overhead caused by the internet and intermediate routers and retransmission devices, the latency is anywhere from 400ms to 750ms. That ping will kill you dead in any realtime online game.

Imagine clicking your mailbox in WoW, and 1.5 seconds later it actually appearing to open on your screen (750ms to get the click command from your computer to the server, then another 750ms to get the acknowledgment and open mail command from the server back to your computer). Might not seem like much, but the average time it takes now is about 80ms.

Would be awesome for downloading tho, where latency isn’t that big a deal and you are more concerned with throughput.
