using squarespace

Are there any users that have used the hughesnet with squarespace to successfully build a website?

When i click save (in squarespace) it says "saving...." and it goes dim and requires a browser close and re-open because after 1 hour it is still saving.

When i take the same laptop to the library internet everything works. Do I need to pay a higher plan amount?

Anybody have any ideas? Or am i just out of luck.

Heck, I didnt want to be able to earn a living anyway.

 

BTW, I love Hughesnet because sometimes I can get email at home!

Especially if I set my alarm for 3:30am and use the computer in the middle of the night.

So, some stuff works Okay (thumbs up)

 

Sorry to bother anyone

It might have something to do with the high latency inherent to satellite internet.  In a Google search I found this in a review of Squarespace...

 

"I sometimes needed to update the website via a satellite internet connection, and due to the higher latency (response time sending the link to the satellite and back), it wasn’t a great experience."

 

If this is the cause, there's probably not a whole lot you can do about it.  But, with that said, I know nothing of Squarespace.  Other might.  I'll defer to them.
