As a cellular and satellite radio engineer for the past 25 years, I can tell you with certainty that your crummy ground Internet communications will ALWAYs be better than either of the radio links. Just like JamKazam strongly recommends that you use a wired connection in your in-house Local Area Network (LAN), the same is true of the Wide Area Network (WAN) portion of your connection to other jammers. The roughly "speed of light" transmission speed (~3x10 to the 8th power Meters/sec) is roughly the same, whether travelling as electrons thru copper, light beams thru fiber optics, or radio waves thru the air. The big difference is all of the electrical signal and data processing in each of those systems, including A/D/A encoding/decoding and modulation/demodulation, error correction, packet reassembly/retransmission, etc; not to mention the higher shared resource conditions with limited capacity, meaning your packets are more likely to be queued up or arrive out of sequence over radio links. For these reasons "real" wired/fiber connections will always be better than radio. As for satellite, keep in mind that a geostationary satellite orbiting the Earth is located 22,000 nautical miles up in space, At that distance, the time it takes a radio signal to go up and back to Earth is about 0.75 seconds - that's 750ms just to account for the speed of light. Low Earth orbiting satellites (think Iridium) are much lower (140-500NM), however their position relative to you on the ground is rapidly changing (usually only in view for about 15minutes max), requiring complicated handovers and huge buffers to maintain a link. For these reasons JamKazam would not work over satellite links, period.
