Worst Ever
Comparing cable internet to satellite internet is like comparing a 20lb watermelon you grew in your back yard to a small exotic fruit you had to import from the Orient.
Satellite internet has much less capacity than ground bases services, so it's more subject to the effects of congestion. It can't be expanded like ground based service can. It has twenty times the latency, which can negatively affect some activities. It's also considerably more expensive, per capita, to both provide and maintain.
Good luck with your new service.
