I used a satellite connection, not sure how different it is to the one you're looking at, cos I'm based out of Australia - but I had it for about a year, it was good, but now I'm on ADSL which is far better.
The thing with satellite is that the connection is weather dependent, so if it's raining / cloudy / storm, it won't work, or won't work very well at best.
Also, lag time is.. noticably more than ADSL, so if u type in google.com it will take a second to load, the satellite I found was more useful for downlading large files rather having quick connections to webpages
satellite is a good stepup from dialup, though now that I'm on ADSL I couldn't go back
Hope this helps
