It's very fast unless you happen to be in a high population area where other internet options are usually available. If you're in the boonies you don't have to share bandwidth with many others so it can be very fast.
It's satellite not cable internet, you are not sharing local infrastructure.
Each satellite has spot beams which cover a certain area. A 'cell' is about 15 miles wide. Those within that cell share available bandwidth. http://www.satmagazine.com/story.php?number=1026762698
Each sat(v1) has a total bandwidth of about 20Gbps which is also shared.
Yeah, that makes sense, I stand corrected.
