    No, absolutely not.

    The latency of satellite BB is disgusting, completely unsuitable for the fast speeds required by online games

    by online gaming they probably mean online poker, but for anything else i would stay clear.

    i've heard that satellite is worse than 56k for gaming.

    Basicially, It takes a second from when you press a key to when your on screen character moves. In that second you've probably been killed.
