Satellite has a lot of latency issues, but it's fast and good enough for downloading and web surfing. Not much of a gaming modem though.

Most satellite connections are downstream-only, that's why they're useless for gaming, indeed.
To get a useful connection you'd need a dual-stream satellite account which are expensive.
