downlink becouse frequncy / power low compare to uplink
uplinks
Satellite phones and internet uplinks for video calls, they have really good reception.
Apogee is the point at which a satellite in an elliptical orbit is At its apogee, the satellite travels slower than at any other point in its orbit.
If the satellite is at the perigee it would go faster and if it was at the apogee it would go slower.

Yes in most cases is it. Sometimes cable is even slower.
That is the exact questin i had!!
The speed is variable; faster while closer to the Earth, and slower further away. But the actual speed varies by the orbital distance.
Satellite internet is generally more expensive than either Cable or DSL and is much slower. If you live in an area with good cell reception, a cellular modem might be a better compromise.
Satellite internet access works by bouncing internet signals off of satellites as a part of their route to wherever the information is held. Unfortunately due to the distance the signal has to travel it can be slower than a usual wired connection. You can get this type of connection through companies such as Hughesnet.
Because most satellites are not 'geostationary'. A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth spins on its axis - such as the GPS grid, or TV relay satellites. Most satellites travel faster or slower than the Earth spins.
