Bear in mind all satellite based broadband options have large latency,
and are of little use for "real time" applications.

it)

True. I was just pointing out that perhaps the blanket generalisation
was a bit harsh and apart from a few specific scenarios (which maybe
should have been specified), most people will be more than happy with
satellite broadband.
