Maybe the op was using a LEO constellation? Somehow. With military birds. Doppler would cause all kinds of weird stuff to happen I would guess.

- walrus01 6y agoThe military uses a hell of a lot of iridium, but from context it really sounds to me like he's describing the low end of the COTS C/ku band ISP market. Until very recently you have not been able to move more than 2400 bps through an individual iridium link, limiting it to very low data rate IP networking and single user at a time per device. The military itself uses a lot more geostationary than you might think at first glance. They don't have their own iridium sized low earth orbit narrow band networks. There's many series of DoD satellites in geostationary, and they also lease a lot of commercial transponder capacity.
