I've got Satellite access here in Australia, 56k up and 400k down and its not much more expensive than a dial up each month.
I agree with DynaSpain on the latency issue.

I generally see a 1/2 to 1 second delay when I click on a link but then the pages load real fast, so that more than makes up for the delay. Generally I'm very happy with my setup and very rarely experience drop outs on a 90 cm dish (Ive seen it loose signal probably twice this year and for only about 10 mins each time during very heavy rain).

Also downloads tend to be more stable and dont slow down like you see a lot of times on a dial up.

I'd recommend you check out the internet access newsgroups for your area to get some real feedback on particular isp's thats how I choose my sat. ISP, there were heaps of complaints about the others around my area.
