I experience slow internet in my area. Hughes Net offers 25 downloads and 3 uploads, while CenturyLink provides 10 downloads and 3 uploads. Both are satellite and DSL connections respectively. Playing online games such as Apex Legends and Overwatch would likely have poor performance due to these limitations.

It's going to be challenging sometimes, but you'll get through it. Yeah, I'm sure it'll be tough at times, but you'll be fine.

During my tests Hughes Net showed response times between 353 and 740 milliseconds.

Satellite internet could provide adequate speeds for online gaming, though performance may vary based on location and weather conditions.

Gaming depends on quick response times and low delay. ASDL provides better ping. You asked why you're using satellite instead of DSL? I expected satellite to cost much more. Probably because a real phone line on the street requires thousands of dollars?

Your result differs from the 62ms mentioned earlier, which aligns more with my initial expectations.
