A great advertorial by John Fellet but in my opinion he over-sells it.
The dish on his roof is connecting to a satellite disk located at an altitude of 35,000Klm above the equator.
Satellite bandwidth is good but response times are terrible. I wonder what the round trip time is for a packet of data going up to the satellite, back down to the ground station, through the terrestrial network to a server routing through the internet exchange located in downtown Auckland's Sky Tower and the response arriving.

No idea, but he is able to do Zoom calls by the sounds of things so it speeds and latency must be ‘good enough’.
I don’t think satellite internet will get any traction in NZ beyond people living in the boonies with absolutely no alternative (these properties are relatively few in number and shrinking each year).
Everyone else is or will be well served with fibre or 5G.
Just boo having to go through the rigmarole of setting up another satellite dish on your house if you have an alternative.

You may remember in the recent past television news pregames where the newsreader says "we cross by satellite to our correspondent in London" where the correspondent pauses for several seconds before responding to the newsreaders questions.

PS. Off topic, so I will end this thread here.

Never heard of Kicific, it'll be overtaken by Elon's dishy anyway, everyone has a raging hard on for him and his products.

Quite relieved to see investors are perfectly sane and able to see that the share consolidation had no fundamental difference whatsoever on the underlying companies market value. Trading resumed at the same exact market value.

Yes, that was always the risk in my mind - that some would still see SKY as a penny dreadful stock. Glad to see the market behaving itself. Will be interesting to see what happens to the SP when Aussie comes on-line.
