I am getting a play list, if that is what you mean, but it is not putting

The latency is primarily due to the speed of light. The geosyncronous
satllites hosting the service are 35,000 km away (roughly). So to
send a packet one way from your house to the ISP's routers on the
ground is a distance of around 70,000 km.
At 3.0x10^6 m/s that takes the packet 0.25 seconds,
Which is probably a violation of the agreement with any of the Satellite
providers also. I forgot to mention that.

They are probably true from a pure speed perspective. But once you
