Stick to your guns! We have only had it for about a week and are already dissatisfied. They dont tell you about the latency issue with sattelite internet service. We had 3 mbps dsl and it was faster. Partly my fault for not doing enough research but I thaught 25 mbps would be faster. I was wrong!
During your sales call the salesperson asks if you play online games. If you indicate that you do, they will explain the difficulty with real time online gaming and the reason for it, with that being high latency.
While the higher latency can affect a few different things, online real time gaming is the most prominent. They can only ask so many questions during the sales call, and because of gaming's prevalence it is the latency related question they ask.
