With my experience with Satellite broadband it is very difficult to stay connected much less the crazy ping times you will see.The latency issues are not going to let you play games very well.Sometimes it may be OK,but anything and everything including even light rain will shut you down.I also thought the support was awful.If it is your only option as it was mine for a while,I of course would try it,,,anythings better than dial up,,right ? Oh no !! It's misting and there went my connection.Or,,Oh no!! The wind just blew and there went my connection,,maybe itz a bit better now but when I tried it,I spent more time on the phone with tech support than the WWW.
