Yes, about 3 seconds round trip. The majority of it is processing the error correction; the lightspeed delay is about a third of a second. Monthly bandwidth limit is 15GB up and down, so no torrents. It sucks much less than dialup.

These satellites will be in a low earth orbit. So, the round-trip time will be small, compared to the round-trip time up to a geosynchronous satellite and back down.
