Vonage sounded so good.  I had a broadband satellite internet connection which I informed them of when I called to ask questions about their service.  They informed me that the only problem that I would have due to a satellite connection was when the weather disrupted my connection.  I was willing to deal with that and signed up.  I had to pay for shipping of the equipment required to my house.  When I received it I immediately set it up.  It doesn't work with satellite broadband.  Then I had to pay to ship the equipment back or they would charge me $80.  They were very hard to deal with.  I couldn't understand most of the people's English that I had to speak with to cancel my so called free trial.  That free trial cost me about $20 and a huge headache.  Stay away from Vonage especially if you have a satellite internet connection

it will work with a satellite provided you have a up/down speed of 90 kbps, apparently yours is slower than that.
