Satellite Broadband Internet Access

From Catherine Roseberry, for About.com

Definition: Satellite broadband Internet access is still the most expensive means of accessing the Internet but for it does provide a solution for those with no other means available or dial-up access is too slow. With some satellite access connections you will be provided with a high-speed downlink connection and dial-up or other landbased system is using for the uplink connection.
If plan to use your satellite broadband for sending and receiving a heavy load of emails this method will be slow. There are satellite broadband Internet access systems which use a two-way system where both the uplink and downlink connection are high speed and provided by satellite.
Satellite broadband Internet access can also be affected by the weather and other location specific interferences.
