I was in the Alaskan Bush a little while ago and was getting some internet served via Satellite > DSL > home. We were limited to 512kbps down but it was supposed to be 1mbps and the latency was the worst part ( http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~cheshire/rants/Latency.html for an entertaining read) anything to the lower 48 would give me about 900ms for ICMP and it was worse for some other protocols. I have screenshots of the horror somewhere, and I'll try to dig them up.
