I just had a new satellite internet service put in, since it’s all I can get. Although speedtest.net reveals that I have a download speed around 1900, general browsing is slow. I can downoad a file very quickly. But just regular surfing is actually slower than dialup. Any tips to speed things up?

Are there any LiveOps operators out there that are using a satellite Internet connection? I’m confused by their FAQ page. It says they don’t recommend nor support it. But, it doesn’t say it’s not allowed. They say the same about dialup, but I know some are definitely using dialup.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

On my satellite connection my upload speed is about 50k/sec vs. a download speed of 500k/sec. I measured my dialup speed and I get an upload speed of 300k/sec and a download speed between 30-46k/sec.
If you average the upload and download speeds of each of the two methods, the “broadband” is only about 1 ½ times as fast as dialup, not the 10x faster than dialup advertised.
