I wonder whether it is possible to use the satellite dish to connect to the internet and if so how? It would perhaps solve the problem of slow connection speed in rural areas. Who knows about such matters?
I know a little - did some research a while back and used some old Arammiska kit way back too..

Basic service is £2500 install and £125 a month (512/256Kbps) Prices go up
from there.
One thing you might consider is a faster service shared amongst residents - that was what I was looking at - there are still some pockets of Devon too far from the exchange to get ADSL, so a local community project might work if everyone was prepared to pay a share. Still expensive though!
Latency is high, although relatively fixed, so VoIP can work over it, but gaming isn't going to work well at all...
