When I moved out to the farmland with no cable or DSL service I tried satellite. I found it next to useless due to the latency, incredibly slow uplink and spotty connectivity (it may just be HughesNet, but that thing was down for something like two hours a day at random times). I switched to a Sprint 3G card and have been comparatively happy for three years. The data cap is worrisome, the latency isn't great and neither is the throughput, but it's a vast improvement over satellite, especially in reliability.
