As =wr= has mentioned, mick e is using radio wireless internet. He has a friend that uses Wild Blue satellite. mick e's wireless outperforms satellite easily, and as far as downloads are concerned - it can be nearly as fast as DSL if you have the right provider. Upload bandwidth is subject to the discretion of those providers (mick e's sucks, fwiw). Bad weather effects satellite much more than the radio wireless.Also, installation and hardware costs were also much higher with satellite.
That said, if sat is the only thing available, you go ahead and do it.
