The best possible satellite you can buy would give your 400 ms latency in the most ideal of circumstances. In reality, the latency tends to double that. Satellite has a very large bandwith that makes it excellent for downloading graphics and files. However it has a poor latency, meaning there is a delay before those downloads get started. This is often fatal in most games where bandwith is not nearly as essential as latency. Dial-up is generally better than dish for most games.
