I can't remember where I read it, but I've read a couple reviews of satellite "broadband" service. Anyway, the general consensus was that they were not worth the investment now. The reviews showed that on average you got a connection speed of around 5-10 KB/s, only slightly faster than a 56K modem. And there was lots of complaining about getting disconnected. Other complaints were download limits, like if you downloaded more than 350 MB/hour you would get limited bandwidth for like 12 hours. It made me very weary. I'll see if I can't find some links for you.
