Satellite internet service varies completely by location, every area is isolated. If you want to know how it is in your area, you need to ask someone in your area. Some areas are good, others bad, some "ok", some good in the morning and bad at night, just depends.
I've been around it almost 25 years, most of my neighbors have it, mostly Hughes now as the competitor is now double the price for half the data in my zipcode. I had sat. almost a decade. It is not a good choice for streaming more than a little amount of video. It's very easy and quick to go over the priority data, especially with video as it uses a lot. However, if your area isn't congested, it may work a little better. Also, the satellite is very far away in orbit, so light/the signal takes time to travel back and forth, there's a larger and noticeable delay when you do stuff. Voice has a delay when you talk, you get used to it, but it's annoying. There are other things that it can cause issues with, but you can get used to it. One noticeable thing for example, typing in a search box or something, when it comes up with suggestions, the suggestions will be delayed. Not anything important, but if you have kids, grandkids, (or you...) do multiplayer coop gaming, that doesn't work practically on satellite. Turn based games do though.
Do you have cell service? Which carriers are in your area? If you can get a little service outside, an antenna can help. Most carriers have a plan at one price or another, some "unlimited" that aren't too bad. And, in many cases, better than satellite choices (if their service isn't congested). I have a discontinued prepaid jetpack plan with Verizon. It's unlimited, I can download 100s or over 1,000 gigs with no issue. Streaming is in HD. You can only get it now if someone gives up their plan. They don't have anything comparable currently. It was $65 for the first line on prepaid, or $45 if it's the second line. AT&T has a plan for $35, and they offer actual home cell internet in some areas, so does Tmobile (in some areas). Verizon is my only carrier. There are some other options.
And if you don't have cell service, I'd very highly suggest waiting if you can. The current satellite carriers both require a 24 month contract, there is no trial period, and you have to pay the termination fee on day 1 if you don't like it (barring unusual circumstances where you can get that waived). Starlink -might- be coming. Don't know what they will offer, but it could be very good service. Starting later next year. It is a maybe, so don't count on it, just mentioning it.
