"I've been told that the long round trip through the satellite doesn't make for good data."

Is this in reference to using the local ISP to transmit commands from your PC?

I'm no expert in these matters, just parroting what I have heard. I could be completely wrong.
Satellite takes more time to reach you from the source than a land based signal. That extra time (crudely around 1-2 seconds I'm guessing) matters to some who are aggressive traders.
