First let me point out that you will have the same problems with any satellite provider. The issues you describe are common to the limitations of a satellite system. Gaming is affected because of the latency which is inherent in satellites your signal must travel 23,000 mile to the satellite and then 23,000 miles down to the ground station, then it makes the return trip. Even at the speed of light that is going to give you problems in some games requiring fast action on the players part. Playing turn based games is completely different.
As for Netflix, you are dealing with a capped system and if you don't watch your data usage you are going to have problems. If you must stream you need to be sure you are streaming in SD not HD, that will ate least cut your data usage in half and cut some of the load from your system and stop the buffering.
DTV and Satellite do NOT work or play well together. If your DTV box is allowed unrestricted access to your network it will eat your data like candy.
There is a lot of help we can offer you if you want to get the most of your satellite connection. This is NOT like any of the land-based networks you may be used to. There is a very steep learning curve.
