Do a quick search on satellite and you will see speed does not refer to ping time or responsiveness - think of it as a barge - not as fast as a car just bigger so on paper seems to do about the same passenger miles..

it depends on what you want to do on the internet - forget anything realtime or interactive, slow response browsing and big downloads.
