Well radio signles travile at the speed of light and this takes x time to travle y distance. Not even Jap's can do anything about that! There is nothing they can do about this, it a issue of light.

I don't know if it's been improved on, but from what i've been told there's a 2 second lagtime between you sending signals to the satellite, and it getting them. 2 whole seconds, each way. Which means, it takes 2 seconds for the satellite to get what you've sent it, then 2 more seconds for it to send that to your isp, however long the isp takes to respond, 2 seconds for the isp to reply to the satellite, and then 2 seconds for the satellite to send that reply to you. I'd suggest you don't try using it for gaming, the lag would be horrendous. The issue with using satellites, are the latencies involved.
