I have no experience in the matter whatsoever ;)

But, I can say that long distance phone calls (non-voip) are sometimes carried over sattelite when fiber is not available. It must be possible for voip, but the latency and jitter would be tremendous and although I am not an expert on the matter, I would suggest that you would only be replacing one set of problems with a new set of problems.

We have built an Asterisk network using an MPLS-based IP VPN.  We have
one location in New Brunswick Canada that consistently gives us major
quality problems, whereas the others are flawless.  Quality problems
take the form of static, poor voice tonality, popping & clicking, drops,
sporadic echo, you name it.  The latency of a QoS prioritized packet
between the Canada site and our hub in Atlanta is 85ms (ping).

I have been searching for an alternative network provider, but I'm told
that they would all take the same route from the US into Canada, as
there is simply no major backbone running into NB east of Toronto.

So now I'm thinking about satellite.  I have no idea if a) this would
even be economically feasible, and b) if the latency would be any
better.

If anyone out there has had any such satellite network experience with
VoIP, I like to hear from you.

Thanks,
Adam
