chrism, when I lived on the mainland, I had lots of friends and business customers that used satellite broadband. It works just fine provided that you have a clear view of the sky (in the direction of the satellite) and don't try to do gaming, VOIP (phone) or use VPN for a connection to a corporate network. Normal stuff that requires broadband is just fine. Only the harshest storms with really thick clouds knock it out and then generally only for a few minutes.
