[ale] OT - Hughs Net Latency and VoIP.

[Michael Potter]

Ale Crew,

My sister lives in the sticks and has a Hughs Net satellite dish for Internet.
She has no cell reception.

I want to help her by installing a Wireless network extender:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=gotoFeatures

The related FAQ states that the wireless network extender is not
supported for Satellite Internet connections.  I would guess that it
would not work because of the latency.

Does anyone have any practical experience that would encourage me to
ignore that warning and try it?

Does anyone have experience running Skype over Hughs net?

There are some significant non-technical challenges to "just trying
it", so I would like to get a sense it will actually work before I
overcome the non-technical challenges.
