While available practically everywhere, satellite internet is slower than most other connection types. Additionally, it is more expensive than most other connection types. This is especially true if one wants a decent speed and a reasonable data allowance. Depending on the provider, equipment costs can be notable as well. The latency of the average satellite internet connection is a significant limitation. This makes some activities, such as video calls and online gaming, next to impossible. Things are improving. However, these problems will be the status quo for some time.
