What he means is that most sat. systems are asynchronous. That is they use different routes for the incoming and outgoing data, and those routes move at different speeds. Normally your incoming or download is via sat. at about 400 kbps, while your outgoing or upload is via regular modem at about 32 Kbps. In a game like Aces High having a problem with either of those two parts of your route will cause issues. Having your incoming and outgoing data streams take different routes tends to cause connection problems with games like AH that rely on a high quality connection.
In this regard, cable and dsl systems tend to be superior. Most of them have upload and download speeds that are both fast enough to not be an issue, and route both streams of data takes is usually the same.

A pig is a pal, who'll boost your morale, Though mountains may topple and tilt.
When they've blackballed, bamboozled, and burned you, When they've turned on you, Tory and Whig,
Though you may be thrown over by Tabby and Rover, You'll never go wrong with a pig, a pig,
You'll never go wrong with a pig!" -- Thomas Pynchon, "Gravity's Rainbow"
