Q: Does VoIP work with satellite Internet service? 27 0

Voice over IP is not designed for satellite Internet service. Conversations are generally clear and audible, but because of the inherent delay in satellite Internet service the participants in a conversation will experience pauses between speaking and having the other person hear what was said. It takes nearly half a second for the signal to be received by the satellite and another half a second for the signal to be transmitted back to the ground. Therefore it takes at least one second for the person on the other end of the conversation to hear what you said. The end result is similar to a conversation using a walkie-talkie.For normal VoIP telephone converations a DSL or cable connection or faster is ideal. VoIP with satellite Internet will still work but you will need to accept a much slower-paced conversation than you are used to.
