It is offtopic here, but beware: a sat link can only be used for bulk
transfers. You will suffer great speed decrease if doing interactive stuf
like ssh/telnet or GUIs. You also will see not well performing HTTP
Performance.
So in short, you can't use it for all purpose internet access. It is a bit
better for low circling satelites but IMHO those have connectivity problems.
So ask your Provider for letency times to www.nic.net. And if they tell you
it is more than 500millis it is painfully slow.
