Not that it matters, but I think it is 22,000 miles to
geosynchronous orbit. The delay is 1/4 second one way, but
the round trip ( which is important in echo situations )
is 1/2 seconds. I have heard that most long distance voice is
done by satellite in one direction and by microwave in the
other, this reduces the echo time to ~1/4 second and makes the
echo less annoying.
