Maximum PC mag had an article on this recently. The sat system works by useing your modem to upload and send information to the server, and you download from the dish, so your fast connection is downstream only. Also, i'm pretty sure that this was slower then DSL or cable modems, and it definitly did cost more. In case anyone is thinking about cable, a freind of mine had Linux running on his computer on cable from @home. I dont think they gave any support, but it is possible.
