I think it all depends on where you are. I have cable and routinely
hit 11 or 12 Mb/sec download speeds. It's been as high as 15. Upload
is usually in the 2 to 3 Mb/sec. This is on Optimum Online with the
basic cable - no premium paid for.

I have limited experience with satellite, but what I have had has been
frustrating. Dishes knocked out of alignment by weather (huh?) and
weather interfering with reception. When you call customer service,
the first thing they ask is if there is bad weather in your area.

I was finally connected with
American based tech support and was able to convince the tech what
the problem was and was able to get another modem shipped out. The
replacement modem gives my customer 1.2m down and 250k up which is
what I got years ago when DSL first became available around here.
