Beem Me UP

I am REALLY getting fed up with the slowness of dial up. There are so few options available when you don't live in an urban area. No cable. There are 'satallite' companies that I could get, but I've only heard of two. Wild Blue and Hughes net. I was all set last month to get one of those two and then found out you needed to network the computers together if you had more than one to operate on the system and Hughesnet didn't do it for you. Wild Blue would so they became my choice (not to mention they are cheaper all around)... BUT... then I went online and did some research on what others who were using either of them thought of the systems and found tons of negative reviews, mostly stating the same problem. During the 'trial' period everything was fine, then right after the 30 days or whatever, speeds slowed down to a crawl. WORSE THAN DIAL UP. Wow, I don't need that. Who needs to pay more than five times as much to get crappier service. Oh sure the downloading times were faster, but while that would come in handy once in awhile, it's more important to have fast page loading and browsing capabilities. And as for the downloads, those are somewhat limited as well. Does ANYONE know of a good satalite service they are happy with?
