It depends on the SNR. You can assume that almost all satellite connections use between 0.2 and 3 bit/s/Hz. It's likely closer to 1 bit/s/Hz though.

  So operating with 54MHz of bandwidth would result in a transfer rate of somewhere on the order of 54 Mbps?

    Many cable channels are using DVB-S2 8PSK at 5/6 rate. That would be 110 Mbps in 54 MHz (45 Msyms/s).
