FWIW, here's satellite Internet service - 50 GB/month data at 25 Mbps download speed (click on "50 GB" to see this plan). This download speed can handle about 5 HD resolution streams at once, or 1 to 2 4K resolution streams at once (I don't think satellite latency affects steady-state movie streaming): https://www.hughesnet.com/get-started
So ... satellite Internet access is indeed "here" (except for maybe gaming use).
Hughesnet has a captive audience, very little if any competition, once Elon and others get there satellite internet service up and running and more 5G towers setup along with more 4G towers in remote areas the prices will come way down..
Don't forget internet service thru phone lines and cable lines and soon the internet market will be saturated, I suspect by 2022 internet will be available almost any where in America and maybe cheaper cost than today..
