My neighbor has Starband.  Latency is a bitch, but the speed isn't bad.  They 
often get download speeds of 50-80KB/s, and the more expensive service plan has 
even more bandwidth.  I set them up with a home wireless network, and 
everything works fine.  The only difference with what Thane wants to do is 
scale.  It should be pretty easy.  I've been thinking about approaching them 
about sharing their connection with me.
