Pinned topic on "How Satellite Internet Works"

I got around to reading this pinned post: How Satellite Internet Works. I feel it is misleading to say the least. Although I don't really have a problem with the latency on satellite I know there are many who do and to brush over the inherent high latency on satellite doesn't sit quite right to me.

These two statements seem particularly very general in nature, too much so IMO when it comes the higher latency experienced:

"Because Internet via satellite is so technologically advanced, this distance hardly makes a difference, even with rural Internet connections."

"Although the signal travels a great distance, there is only a fraction of a second delay during this transmission. This is similar to delay you may have experienced when using a cell phone."

A "fraction of a second" can be interpreted many different ways. Both a tenth of a second and half a second are fractions of a second but very different when it comes to the internet. My cell hotspot runs around 20ms latency while my satellite internet usually averages around 700ms. Really don't consider the delays "similar".

Could a moderator or other Hughes employee please, please review and amend this article? It sure seems to lead any new or potential customer down the primrose path so to speak when it comes to delay (ping/latency) experienced with ground based internet versus satellite.

Thanks for considering my sincere feedback on something that seems a bit misleading here.
