Is it possible to use JK with an RF connection to ISP?

My friend and I have been jumping through so many hoops in order to try to use JK, to no avail.

He lives roughly 150 miles from me in the desert.  The first issue we had was that his ISP only provided a private IP address.  He would be able to get the necessary public IP address, but only after spending several hundred dollars for the ISP to upgrade their equipment.

But even if that is done, he is now realizing another issue - he receives his signal from the ISP via an RF antenna.  The ISP's transponder is about 3 miles away.

We're aware that it's recommended to use an ethernet connection of the computer to the home router, as WiFi would add too much latency.

I know this may be an obscure question, but does anyone have any idea if the encoding & decoding of the RF signal would have the same effect as trying to use WiFI?  We'd like to get a handle on this before spending any money.

Thanks!

I believe that an RF connection would have some of the most latency of any connection type you could get. I was using a cellular Internet connection and the latency was predictably terrible.
