So many times I see a guy video calling another crew across the country and it can take a solid 5-10 seconds before we hear them reply. I’ve seen kids in siberia with better ping.

Everybody in this thread is explaining the mechanism that makes satellite slower than a cell connection, but nobody is really explaining why they’re using the slower satallites over a cell type connection that can fall back to slow satellites if the cell signal cuts out.
If they’re reporting from a warzone it makes sense they would just do satellite, but so often hosts are talking over each other from two different studios.
local news traffic teams reporting from two miles outside the studio on a clear day seem like they could figure out a way to not have a 3 second delay.
