I call my grandparents in England from home occasionally, and the delays caused
by satellite routing make the calls almost useless. You can effectively
only have one-way communication at a time, and you have to wait for your
voice to get through before you get a reply. I don't know whether it's
just the combination of our exchange and routing in England through to
Coventry or what, but I know business callers wouldn't stand for it.
I've spoken to London from my office and the quality was fine.
Anyone know why the difference?
