Satellite broadband should be an absolute last resort as it is extremely expensive. There are govt rebates available which make it affordable but if you cannot receive that then it's not worth it.

There are 2 types, 1-way and 2-way.

1-way is satellite down and dial-up up, while 2-way is satellite both ways.

Don't expect very high speeds either.

If in any way possible you can get wireless broadband either through 3G or wi-max then that would be a far better proposition.

Out of interest, where are you located?
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.
