    @mjmatsen what are the speeds like? Any real world experience of the satellite Internet recently? I remember it was rubbish back in the day but like all things I would expect it to improve. We have Vodafone Rural wireless broadband and it is lightning fast but we have a very annoying 120gb datacap.

    I take it your looking for a solution in a single fixed location?
    I wouldn’t think genuine satellite internet will be competitive with wireless broadband over the cellular network.
    A couple of contractors we deal with use Ipstar and VSAT.
    They are much better than they were a decade a go, they do slow down lots after 5pm when everyone knocks off work. The VOIP phone lines on them tend to be shit in my opinion.
    The amount of data is very much proportionate to the subscription.
    My understanding of BGAN is that up and download speeds are great, but too expensive for browsing. Suits commercial users sending large pre-prepared files and data fast.

    Writing emails on a Satphone makes you wonder if it would be quicker hand deliver a hand written note instead.
