Satellite is generally expensive, has not-so-good reliability, and has very poor latency (worse than dialup, since generally your dialup connection doesn't have to leave the atmosphere and travel 22,000 miles ;)). They also heavily restrict you on your useage. A better alternative is DSL if you can get it in your area- or look into a canopy wireless solution.

In many areas DSL or a canopy wireless solution are not viable options. There are still many areas of our county that cannot get DSL. Cable is the most often chosen alternative around here because most areas here have cable access. I looked at HughesNet before DSL became available to our home. As others have said the start up cost can be very high but I saw a deal recently that covered most of those cost with a bundled contract committment. (Basic Sat TV and Internet). I know a few people have had very good performace from Directway, no one I know with a Sat Provider has had anything bad to say.
