Online games run well with any service?

Understand that a GEO satellite connection represents a 90,000 mile path to your gaming packets. Given the laws of physics, that means that there's no way possible for them to travel 45,000 and come back another 45,000 miles with a response in less than about half a second. That's your absolute fastest ping return time. If your gaming requires faster ping times, there is no GEO satellite service that can possible help you. MEO and LEO constellations at one time represented some relief in this area, but don't hold your breath waiting.

Add server lag and switching time, and you'realready  in the 600ms+ range. Lost TX packets can double/triple that. If that's is workable to you, establishing and maintaining such performance is generally just a matter of money. Upgraded transmitters, larger dishes, low contention rates - those are the features you look for in establishing a consistently performing satellite connection. Entry level satellite hardware and service plans don't provided these features, so look also at paying mid-grade service plan prices too.
