I've played MMO's over a 3g network and it played just fine. I couldn't imagine satelite not working. Download the trial and find out. If it doesn't work, so be it.

My friend had satellite for a long time. Horrendous Internet, incredibly slow and messed up when clouds appeared overhead. Videos were pointless to try to watch, youtube or whatever. But games I know he could play perfectly with no lag.

Not sure about sattelite, but just yesterday I was playing Lineage 2 at the beach with mobile internet. That can't be much faster than satellite, can it?

3g = satellite internet, should be fine however updates may kill your bandwidth (if you have a limit)

I actually played Rift, endgame tanking even, on a 3g dongle. No problems there.
