I recently connected with hughesnet expecting subpar Internet speeds. Coming to find out, it's worse than subpar. My latency is between 700-1200ms! Even if the download speed hits over 20mpbs (which has only happened one time when it was installed), the Internet is still considered continental drift slow, simply because the latency is ultra slow, making any form of chat or real time impossible. With that being said, I read up on the echostar 19 and the new gen5 plans and how bandwidth could hit a potential of 200mbps (which is even impressive for cable internet). So my question is, after echostar 19 and the new gen5 plans are set and ready to go, what about the ping? Will the ping be any faster? Or the same snail speed of over 500ms? Thanks - Matt
