The only downside with satellite internet is the longer latency: about 700 ms compared to 40ms with a BT landline. However, 20 Mb/sec is more than ten times faste than the maximum rate I ever achieved with the landline.
Being over 1 mile from the nearest BT exchange and with frequent power cuts BT kept on reducing our maximum connection rate. so the the average speed was below 1 Mb/sec.
With the satellit connection, internet access is lost when we have a thunderstorm, but it comes back automatically when the storm has passed. In contrast with the landline a thunderstorm would blow the ADSL filter and I would have to wait until the next working day to get it fixed. Just replacing the ADSL filter was not sufficient since I would have to get BT to eset the ADSL connection.
We are limited to 17 Gb per month, so when we have visitors and have 10 connections on the router instead of 2, I have to buy a FUP reset (£18). The bandwidth is enough for normal UTube usage.
