I ran my mining via Exceed sat service for 2 years.
Stale shares went up by about 1% due to the slow ping times, but otherwise it was an IMPROVEMENT from the Virgin Mobile USA 3G service I had before that.

Bandwidth was not an issue - less than 100k a day for several S5 units + an SP20 + several GPU miners.

i am using gpu mienr.

ms ping is an issue so stale shares are higher than normal but its for sure better than nothing!

Where I live is definitely in the middle of nowhere, so I am using Viasat satellite internet and it works fine for the miners. Like you said, they don't use much bandwidth so that has not been a problem.

i am looking around cheap land to build some smaller mining farm, thus usually translates into land far from bigger cities, middle-of-nowhere or near smaller cities where internet and power connection will be an issue. However many of the sites I am seeing do have power but internet devliery is definitely lacking. Has anyone considered satellite internet? Looking at viasat, it looks reasonable rate and speed. (1mb-5mb), Miners dont use huge bandwidth anyways, using dstat or iptraf, can see it is only few hundred bytes per second traffic.
