Yes, exactly.  Geostationary satellites have been used for telephone for
ages (and are still used for remote areas - they have advantages over the
disintegrating constellations such as iridium - namely predictability).

As for consumer (home) grade satellite internet service, it's pretty low
quality.  But if you have money, you can have just as good of service as the
telcos enjoy for TDM voice over them (even with VoIP).  I know several
organizations using them (but they are paying more than the $100 or so a
month as is typical for a home user - a lot more).
