Can a person use VoIP over a satellite connection?
In some cases, VoIP is being used with satellite connections, but with varying degrees of success, depending on the ISPs service and the Codec being used. Generally, there are quality issues and the connection will be much more degraded than over a more traditional broadband connection. Satellite connections have large built in latencies, due to the physical distances the signal travels. Generally, they also have low bandwidth, especially on the upload side and have what they call burstable bandwidth speeds. This burstable speed can create changes in the bandwidth where the fluctuation can cause problems for voice data. In many cases the end voice quality is poor and not acceptable to most users.
