It's a far bigger problem for satellite internet. The base RTT on satellite connections is far higher; think 500ms instead of 20ms. This means that any packet loss takes longer to recover from, which in turn means that there's a big incentive for the satellite provider to always buffer packets and never to drop them. Satellite internet also tends to be relatively slow compared to fixed line. It's a lot easier to trigger massive levels of bufferbloat on a 1Mbps connection than a 50Mbps one. (I used to work on TCP acceleration boxes that among other things eliminated bufferbloat in satellite networks. But it's a far easier problem to solve when you're on the correct side of the bottleneck link.)
