I am needing to purchase some fast or broadband satellite data connection for use in Europe and Eastern Europe Serbia
I would like to be able to use Skype over this connection!
Has anyone got experience of using Voip over satellite data connection?
I am looking at the BGAN system in particular using thuraya
Thanks for your help

Latency on a satellite link will likely make it unusable for VOIP. The imarsat satellites that BGAN uses are (I think) in geosync orbit, which means you'll likely get about a 1 second (or more) lag in your calls using VOIP over it. But you'll get almost as bad a lag if you just make a plain satellite voice call using the same satellite anyway, so...
