I have a 512 line-of-sight wireless solution from my rural cable company through nuwave internet.  Once in the house, I have 1GB wireless connecting all the PC's through a router.

Satellite internet service is not compatible with multiplayer gaming. (yes the ping times are guaranteed to be >500ms)

Actually, on the wireless (it's not satellite) I do okay with games like Delta Force online.  I very seldom get lagged.
