Have a look here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=220608

ildana told everyone at the GBS round 2 conference that 2 way satellite latency wasn't an issue, that they had happy gamers, VPN works perfectly, that VOIP was perfect, best thing since sliced bread etc
Strangely reluctant to give written guarantees that this was the case though.

Best avoided at all costs, methinks

In a nutshell "Satellite Broadband" is crap, shared between 45 wireless users (thats Ildana's trigger level), well, crap/45 = total crap.
There is no longer any reason why any rural community should have to tolerate second rate giddyup "Satellite Broadband"
