Satellite ISP (Latency)

I have exede satellite internet service. the speed (once connected to the link) is quite good for what it is. the difficulty is “the page cannot be displayed” when you click to a domain, in particular the initial page. once in, say yahoo, it generally is not a problem navigating within the domain but still I have to refresh the page on occasion to get the full content. so, is there anything I can do to prevent the “timeout” i’m guessing. I have run dns with a local machine app and the isp dns server, which neither seem to affect the outcome.
anyone venture a guess to reduce this? of course high traffic times do affect this but not the only factor.
edit: the internet movie data base is really bad for this, which correlates with the idea it is not simply the latency of satellite, unless they have a timeout of nano seconds.
Answer #1
Can you try pinging a site? Open the cmd(Press Win+r and type cmd in the run dialog) and then write ping followed by the name of a site to ping:ping google.com
Answer #2
odd, keep in mind I can resolve google either way but at this moment the isp fully loads much quicker without the refresh. I have no clue what these stats mean (the speed relevance/comparison/good/bad…).
the local machine (simple dns):C:\Windows\system32>ping google.com
Ping request could not find host google.com. Please check the name and try again
isp dns: C:\Windows\system32>ping google.com
Ping statistics for xxxxxxx:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 585ms, Maximum = 606ms, Average = 593ms
edit: looked it up, time sucks but since it is satellite and no further advise on an assist/fix i’ll take that as them’s the breaks. whatever.
