It will run BUT and there is always a big BUT...
Latency can ruin your experience.
How so you ask?
1) Moving About - Avatar movement will not be reliable as moving requires sending and receiving telemetry packets without packet loss to and from the LL Servers. You can learn to compensate but you are forewarned.
2) Media & Music - Modern Music Streaming and Media streaming are optimized with most satellite Internet ISPs. This is their bread and butter. So once you get the needed Media or Music SLURL it will be handled by the SLPlugin.exe & lllib**.dll routine libraries pretty well.
3) Doing things Together - You'll need some patience with couples kinds of things. Getting in sync with a partner may require a few sync resets and a few minutes to get all the parts of the needed scripts loaded into your PC Session.
This said go for it. 5Mbps should get you started. If you plan on watching Netflix & playing SL at the same time then 10 Mbps is better.
