It will have a modem, you'll still be able to hard wire into it. But satellite internet is usually used in rural areas, you'll be able to stream but probably not above 720p. Stick with your current provider for now until you have 5G or fiber avaliable in your area. If you have a good phone plan ask them about a hotspot that you can use in the house while your downloading games so you can stream off the hotspot and you'll have more direct bandwidth for downloads. Also make your ISP aware youre unhappy with their service and see if theres anything theyre willing to do to boost your speeds. 3ven bad companys have good customer service every so often.

Well I guess my only option is to sell the house and move then but before that I will attempt to use the satellite internet because there is no way we are getting another ISP let alone fiber in this area for at least another 10 years. And IDK if i said this or if it was just implied but I have the highest available package and have had it for 10 years and they will never increase the speed. They have a monopoly where nobody else can enter the area there has been an on going lawsuit for idk how many years this will never be solved.

I mean if youre really that upset with it, its worth a shot man. Dont worry, fiber is spreading a lot faster than you think. Definetly give a mobile hotspot consideration if you have a data plan, you can usually get them through your cell provider, and you'll at least be able to maybe use that to give your connection a little "room to breathe" so to speak. Hope it gets better for ya man.
