I have a hypothetical question that hopefully makes sense considering only the rudimentary amount of knowledge I have on relativity.

Assume I am in a spaceship orbiting around a spherical satellite, at a certain fixed radius. The satellite sends data to the ship via radio (something like satellite internet or other long-range data radio, using electromagnetic signals).

Would the download speed (received data rate seen on-board ship) be faster or slower compared to when I am stationary with respect to the satellite?

Also consider that attenuation is negligible.

What I initially thought was that time dilation would make "my" clock in the spaceship tick slower, hence the signal from the "satellite" would be received faster. I thought I should add this to clarify my train of thought that led to the question. Please do note that it is a hypothetical question.

_{(A comment pointed out that a spherically symmetric EM wave is impossible, therefore I have taken down the diagram and the statement regarding so.)}

I have a hypothetical question that hopefully makes sense considering only the rudimentary amount of knowledge I have on relativity.

Assume I am in a spaceship orbiting around a spherical satellite, at a certain fixed radius. The satellite emits electromagnetic signals (read Wi-Fi compatible) that can be received by the spaceship at all points in the given orbit. If my spaceship had a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot (that can access the signals), and if I were to download information, would the download speed be faster or slower compared to when I am stationary with respect to the satellite?

Also consider that attenuation is negligible.
