We have seen speeds ranging as high as 7 megs a sec to as low as 400 kb a sec. You only pay for 400 kb a sec access so the more you get the merrier. Upload speeds presently have been in the upper 60's kbs to around 33 kbs. So if you plan on running a ftp server or web server expect long upload times.
The answer to this question is simply put. NO! You can not play or do any type of real time over Direcway Satellite Internet. The Satellite Systems has something called High latency or Ping times. The time it takes for Data to travel 22,000 miles into space and back to your pc takes to long for this type of environment.
