So my wife and I moved from a town that had wired internet to the house, still didn't have Fiber but it was ok. Our new place is in the country so the choice was satellite internet or cellular internet. I think this is what you're asking about. You require line of site to a cell tower, and no more than 8km/5miles away. The cost is a bit less than our previous set up, we pay a lot more than you folks in the US. Speed is fine, my wife is working from home and does lots of video conferencing. I don't think it's any worse bandwidth wise than when we were wired, sometimes she has to park the video and just use audio but that's not that often. I can be surfing or watching netflix or wasting my time on this forum while she's conferencing and there are no issues. I do find that occasionally (usually around 8pm) if I'm watching a movie it gets some pixilation but nothing major. Won't be getting anything in 4K anytime soon. Hope this is helpful.
