I previously had StarBand for about 6 years, was a beta tester. I
recommend staying away from them, bankruptcies etc.
I have wildblue currently, and I have the highest service package, which
gets me 1.6-1.7 Mbps down, and 256 Kbps up for $80 a month. Thus far, it
works very well.
Keep in mind that any satellite ISP has a built in 520 ms delay to bounce
the signal to a geosynch sat and back to earth. If you can get decent
speed DSL, it's pretty much always going to be better than satellite,
unless you don't do anything that the latency matters.
