Hrm. As someone without high speed at the house, I'm always looking for possibilities (luckily I have 10MB to TW's SONET ring at the office in town).
I suffered with DirecPC for three years, but dropped them due to poor service, unrealistic limitation on traffic and the whole smart card debacle.
I've been looking at Starband (http://www.starband.com) and while I've heard good things about them, they are too expensive.
Wildblue is half the price of Starband, and it is also apparently part of NRTC (National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative) with is a pretty respected organization (I used to help manage their network). I would love it if it works.
