Does Packet8 work over satellite internet connections?
The biggest issues with satellite are 1. Latency any additional latency on your satellite feed will be added to your phone calls 2. Jitter if you have rapid variations in latency, our jitter buffers will not be able to maintain satisfactory quality. Please try some ping tests on your connection and make sure that your latency and jitter are within acceptable levels. If nothing else, we have a 30 day money back guarantee (we only ask that you pay for the shipping of the equipment back to us, we will refund all other monies paid) if you do not like the service for any reason. The ping test (from Windows) is: Start > Run > Cmd (or command) > ping -t proxy.packet8.net run for one minute. Time should be less than 300ms and the times should not vary by more than 100ms. You can cut and paste the results (after running for one minute) by right-clicking the top left corner and choosing Edit > Mark.
