We live in a remote area and tried Sat internet as there is no cable or DSL here. We paid $80 for the highest speed and to put it bluntly, it was awful. The speed was sporadic and the latency was very irritating. I was So happy when 4g was available here. Sat is expensive and not as reliable or fast as 4g, and requires line of sight (no trees or cloud cover) in my experience. Also, on a MH I imagine unless you full time and are sitting in the same spot it will be very difficult. It does not use your dish for TV. It requires a dedicated dish as it aims to a different position in the sky. The variance on the target is also smaller so it has to be perfectly aimed as opposed to tv Sat which can be close and still get your signal. It also requires a dedicated set of cables (2 - one for sending and one for receiving) that would have to be run. I would advise strongly against it and look at 3 or 4g options (wifi etc). More reliable and much easier to work with.
