The > very slow connection is due to us going over satellite (or via > submarine cable?), from Colombia into Miami. its not satellite, or there'd be a hop in the middle that added about 500mS to all further points. speed of light up to geostationary orbit (about 22800 miles, +/- based on the lat/long of the earth stations, and the longitude of the satellite)) and back twice, kinda hard to beat that, and the main reason satellite internet isn't very popular. *per google, (22800 miles * 4) / c = 489.58 milliseconds* (* 4 because your packets woudl go up to orbit and back down, then the response has to go up and back again.)
