Only had experience of the UK version but I guess the US is pretty much the same. Basically the download is ok but the upload speed tends to suck (at least it used to)....and it tends to be a bit pricey. Do you not have access to cable?

Errr...the in-laws tried it a while ago and it was shite, though it was winter, it cut out more than the tele signal...they decided to go back to dial up because the up speeds didn't exist and the down wasn't very consistant...certainly for the money.

Re: Satellite Broadband
Any Internet connection is better than no Internet connection, but satellite Internet offers poor response times due to the great distances involved.
