I've seen broadband via SKY demoed at an IT event I attended last year
(I'm
an IT Manager) its very impressive and priced the same as ADSL. The only
trouble is you're limited on your upload speeds to the speed of your modem
33.6 or ISDN if you're using that.

and your phone line is engaged, so add the cost of a second phone line...

... and there's considerable latency on d/l, and AFAIR there's a
ridiculously low monthly bandwidth quota. I suspect that apart from
very remote areas, satellite "broadband" is going to be a non-starter;
BT will (eventually) find ways of enabling ADSL at most of their
exchanges, as local wireless services introduce some real competition
...

Like they did round here and were let down by government agency funders
after they had committed to spend and mysteriously BT start announcing
revised lower trigger levels etc:-((
