You will probably find the 2 gig/month limit (on an "unlimited" plan
:-)) too limiting for home use. My 17 gig WildBlue limit is fine for
extensive browsing but not if I want several CD images or do much
video viewing. I doubt that satellite will work at all with Skype or
other IP telephony. Latency. Best look for a local wifi provider.
