Problems playing switch the game

Unsure which game on Switch you're referring to, but satellite internet has a lag of over half a second which will cause many real-time games to run slow.

It has nothing to do with available speed. It's caused because of the distance the satellite signal has to travel, much like when you see a time lag for live, remote newscasters on TV.

Hi GrandpaTony,

 

Welcome to the community and thank you for posting. I just wanted to add that it's possible there's something going on with the Switch itself or the game, independent of the internet connection. I don't have much else to go on due to the lack of other details, but just something to consider.
