There are many disadvantages of the Satellite Internet. Like it has high latency compared to other broadband services. This is more common in 2-way satellite service. Then Satellite Internet is more unreliable as there are a lot of drop-outs which are common when you are traveling or if there is a disturbed weather. It is important to accurately point to the satellite orbiting overhead the narrow-beam highly directional antenna. Then the Fair Access Policy also limits the heavy usage which is applied by the service provider. The VPN use is often problematic and is restricted with satellite broadband. It is available at a price though. Since it is a one-way satellite service it requires the use of a modem.
