So I searched the forums and read various threads on this subject but none really answered the question or gave good justifications. My question is, how can you claim that satellites do not exist when we have satellite TV, GPS, and satellite communications?
First of all, the satellite industry is significant, and exists all across the world in both public and private industry. Are you suggesting that all of the hundreds of thousands of people who are/were related to the SATCOM world across numerous countries, some of which are enemies, are all in on the conspiracy, and in that time, not one of them ever outed the industry as a myth? And if it was a lie, and a conspiracy, why intentionally make the market so big for it which would only bring more people into it and therefore make it more likely to be discovered?
Aside from the conspiracy aspect, when I lived in England and we had SkyTV via dish. We lived on a very large hill and our dish was pointed near vertical (within 15 degrees) towards the sky. If we moved the the dish more than 5 degrees in any direction the signal was virtually garbage.
Additionally, anyone who has ever used satellite internet knows that there is latency compared to traditional wired networks. This is because, even though radio waves move at near the speed of light, they still have to travel nearly 45,000 miles (round trip) for the typical GEO satellite. This causes a roughly 500–700 ms from the user to the ISP, or about 1,000–1,400 ms latency for the total round-trip time (RTT) back to the user. Compared to the typical 15-40 ms latency experienced by users of other high-speed Internet services, such as cable or VDSL, a 1 to 1.5 second lag is noticeable. But if satellites aren't real, and the signal doesn't have to travel dozens of thousands of miles, this lag wouldn't exist. And if you want to suggest that someone along the way could be artificially increasing the latency to perpetuate the conspiracy, know anyone on satellite internet could do a trace-route to validate the latency manually
