my 2 cents
i my self dont have sat broadband maybe someone else on here does but i do have direct tv sat as a cable provider every now and then signal goes weak when it rains etc.. & i cant watch tv so im sure it will happen with broadband sat. anyways here a website that might help find service around you and also there is a forum for satellite broadband users you might also try asking there _http://www.dslreports.com/ just click find service to find a service provider around you... if your not in the U.S forget about it..

I am the same I want broadband and it kinding going to be in my area soonish 150 people to register their interest before BT will upgrade the line.
But I was thinking of the satellite too but as it’s coming in to the winter months = More Bad weather
so that will affect it.
I have Digital Sat and i know that goes out when it rains heavily or really windy. And I not sure if it is worth paying for it when Christmas is coming up and they are going to upgrade my area by about the start of next year. So I think I will wait the now if you want to find out how many have registered there interest in you area go here =http://www.bt.com/broadband/ and put in your number in the View the level of demand at those exchanges

Are you millionare?
Apart from beïng very expensive, setup + monthly abo, ONLY your download is via satelite, your upload is alway's with the phone-line, so you will have those cost too. Furthermore the setup is only so strong as his weakest link in the chain, upload, but mainly the servers your downloading from, so if a server gives for example 5 kb/s, you never get more from it because of your satelite thingie.

If you are in their service area DIRECTWAV system uploads to the satellite at about twice the speed of a 56k modem - at least thats what their rep told me. But I have decided not to purchase because - Great news! - Were supposed to get a government grant to get broadband in approximatly 4 months. I was told it was some kind of T1 that will be beamed by radio towers.
