I looked into satellite internet for my mum once when she was living in a remote part of south africa...seems you can get half decent speeds - maybe 600 - 700kbps, kinda ISDN sorta speeds. technically this should be ok for some online gaming (WoW and the like) but apparently the ping time is real slow with satellite internet, and this can cause a lot of problems when streaming/on line gaming. I think the monthly usage allowance is quite low too so streaming movies etc wouldn't be a good idea anyway.
