The company I work for has Frame-Relay over Sattelite to Europe.
The Ping times are ~ 950 ms+
It costs ~$20,000 a month.
If you are talking about the home internet service that works over
sattelite, and uses one of the 19" dishes that are popular for Digital
Television, then you should know they are one way links. You have to
request the data over a Dial-up/lease-line, and it comes dwon from the
sattelit to you. From the one person I know that has it, It seems to be too
much trouble, the latency is too high, and the Bandwith is aroun 192Kbps.

It's probably not worth it unless a significant part of your traffic is
with hosts located just behind the remote satellite hop or with a
high-bandwidth path to the satellite hop. And if you do, you probably
want to make sure that both your hosts and the hosts you access support
RFC1323 (for long TCP connections, eg transfer of large files) and
RFC1644 (for bursts of short sessions, such as loading a web page and
images it references).
