Sadly, satellite internet services such as WildBlue, typically implement DAMA (Demand Assigned Multiple Access) which results in ping times of 1100-1200ms when there is no channel contention issues (yes, it gets even worse). VOIP, VPN and twitch gaming are just not worth it and even https sites are noticeably slower.
