Surprisingly it did <strong>better than expected for video streaming<\/strong> applications, although those would still be hindered by low usage allowances and throttling.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Extract from the Report&#8217;s Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>In the majority of these cases, the emulated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/satellite\">satellite<\/a> and the actual satellite link were not considered of an acceptable standard to be adopted for use and were generally considered to provide a worse service than the participants\u2018 current ISP. By contrast, the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> link was mainly rated as similar or slightly better compared to their current ISP.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Although three out of four applications indicated that terrestrial broadband was superior to satellite broadband, it is important to bear in mind that the one application (web browsing), where the satellite service outperformed the terrestrial service, is likely to be the most fundamental online activity. It is beyond the scope of this study to indicate what services rural users are most interested in; however, such an analysis would allow the results of the four applications to be combined together into a weighted sum. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The important thing to stress, however, is that QoE [Quality of Experience] is application dependent, and so tightly defining the importance of the various applications to rural community users will in large part dictate the attractiveness of satellite broadband.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As expected the caching methods and inherently <strong>high latency problems<\/strong> of Satellite links make the service ineffective for use in multiplayer gaming and other <strong>real time applications<\/strong>. This has been known about for years.<\/p>\n<p>One interesting recommendation to come out of the report is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> &#8220;<em>should encourage<\/em>&#8221; more websites to offer lo-fi or mobile versions of their content for people whom are forced to connect from &#8220;<em>any low bandwidth or high latency link<\/em>&#8221; (mobile or not). That&#8217;s a good idea but it sort of admits defeat when the object should be to improve broadband connectivity for all and not merely accept the status quo.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Understanding Satellite Broadband Quality of Experience Report (PDF)<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk\/binaries\/research\/technology-research\/2011\/Understanding_Satellite.pdf?utm_source=updates&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=satellite-comms-research\" target=\"_new\">http:\/\/stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk\/binaries\/research\/technology-research\/2011\/Understanding_Satellite.pdf<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The communications regulator, Ofcom UK, has quitely published a new &#8220;small-scale report&#8221; that investigated the quality of experience and user satisfaction when using broadband Satellite ISP services for applications such as online video gaming (multiplayer), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), video\/audio streaming and Voice-over-IP (VoIP).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[36,77],"class_list":["post-379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-ofcom-regulation","tag-satellite"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
