Geosynchronous are, I believe, 23,000 miles up.

As opposed to roughly 100 miles up for low earth orbit.

About a quarter second round trip for a signal to geosynchronous.

That's about 50 times slower than for LEO, assuming the slant distance to the LEO satellite is 500 miles, since it's unlikely it would be directly overhead.
