With satellites used for U.S. internet service stationed approximately 23,000 miles above the equator, each information/response packet has to make a round trip of about 92,000 miles, producing a noticeable lag -- about 0.25 seconds -- in applications that require near-instantaneous actions.

It's a provider thing so call them or shake your fist at the sky. I would belive the 250-500ms-ish minimum lag can cause hook up problems over a sattelite. A phone is near instant, depending on distance, but is much more reliable to get in touch with the login server with.
