I believe satellite internet still requires a dial-up for uploading.
It then tells the satellite the packets to beam down to you. It is a fat pipe, but there are some serious latency issues since data has to be beamed to a satellite and then beamed to you.
I'd look into ISDN or perhaps shared T1 or a better ISP. Your mom's experience doesn't sound right unless she lives somewhere very rural with very poor phone service.
