I've always heard of more issues with satellite, like lower speeds and storms blocking reception.

100mbps sounds like a good service. I think I'm on 35mbps and haven't had any problems.

I agree. Doesn't seem worth switching unless one has no other option, or can't get regular broadband in the first place.

Where I see a giant market is places with crippling internet restrictions. But we'll have to see how that will play out and how much energy authoritarian governments will invest in finding people "illegally" accessing the free web.
