The satellites are slower if you use them for direct satellite to device transfers...not to mention most of the delay is not in the travel time but in actually confirming the data causing latency. If you receive data from multiple sources the speed will increase similar to how bit torrent is...by being able to receive 5 signals at a time, while latency exists the transfer rate would increase 5x fold.
here is an example where satellite will be faster even in regular scenario..china to usa by wire vs satellite, what will be faster? aka there is no reason for satellite if your accessing your neighbors server but long distance data and short distance is where the mini tower idea is awesome, mostly in high populated areas.
