We don't know what their routing in space is. But we know that it isn't just up 
to a single satellite and back down to a ground station.

But I will say that since they NAT the connection at the ground station (or 
Internet peering point), and not allowing dishy-to-dishy direct communications 
yet, they aren't sending different packets to different destinations, they are 
sending them all to the single internet gateway
