Ask HN: is a satellite connection good enough for working from home?

Anyone here tried telecommuting from a satellite connection? Sure, it's good enough for web browsing and github, what I'm more worried about the are regular video calls, due to higher latency.

I would say no, I have tried satellite and the download speed is decent, but upload speed is not good. There may be a very expensive package that you can get, but from my experience, I would say you need DSL at a minimum.
