Considering how poor my experience has been with Spectrum, Xfinity/comcast, and AT&T, a true 50mbps would actually be pretty good. Cable internet isn't that far off from 99/month when you go past the lowest speed package.

Gaming performance is related to latency, and legacy sat internet had a very perceptible lag; something like half a second roundtrip.
Comcast is offering 25 mbps for $20/mo, and 100 mbps for $35. When the promo year is up, switch to CenturyLink for a year for similar pricing. Else, simply ask to pay less and they will split the difference.
I asked to have my parents internet bill reduced and they apologized, informing that their service package was no longer offered. Instead they would have to settle for half the cost and 4x the speed.
