We do stream videos on hughes net about 95% of the time it streams fine.
Not promoting it at all but is what we have and don't need a 600 dollar up front fee to change.
We have never had better speed anywhere we lived prior to moving here in 2008. Always rural, don't mean suburbs or outskirts. but 3 miles of mud road rural and another 20 to say a walmart type of store.
So although outdated in the speed department we can keep abreast of current events and personal communications. And has provided high speed internet where there was zero in the past. We can not even get an old fashioned land line phone. The local system was abandoned.
We also have a a radio station and both of us are licensed amateur radio operators. The cost of that is about 10% at most of our internet provider. Nice thing about radio is it doesn't need any relays to work. Direct point to point traffic, when God is willing.
