Satellite Broadband is never going to be ideal for web browsing because of the time it takes for the signal to travel via the satellite to the server. A web page requires numerous connections, each connection taking three quarters of a second to make. However, the actual download is almost instant and in practice a previously viewed page should load in under ten seconds. There may be further delays caused by congestion on the actual internet during the evening. Not great, probably equivalent to a 2Mb phone line connection, but you get used to it.
A satellite connection is much more stable than a crackly phone line (mine has been rock solid for over two years) and is ideal for streaming video which requires just the one connection.
The people at Europasat are friendly and helpful, it is like dealing with a small business,
and I can happily recommend them.
