Best way to test latency?
Yes, 600-700 is normal for satellite internet.
Keep in mind that websites add to the delay because they have so much stuff on them that needs to load, such as images or videos. So on top of the normal server to server delay, you will have added delay from website content.
I normally use my Chromebook at work, but I've brought it home and found no increase in data usage. EDIT: It doesn't work like a phone at all. I think apps on phones can eat data if the settings aren't changed, but it doesn't work this way on the Chromebook. You're basically on the Chrome browser. No wifi, no data usage. Apps that need syncing (Docs, Wunderlist) will sync once back online, but the data usage is the same as you would've used if you were using the app on the wifi.
Understand. And that's true if what you're working on was locally held when you last turned it off, then trurned it on without wifi access. Supposed you'd have to be careful about turning the wifi back on to retrieve your work from the cloud, then turn it off again once you had it, then synched it back later. I'm more concerned about the constant thrashing it does if you don't turn the wifi off.
