This is right up my alley! Satnet is good if you are willing to pay for the cost. Yes there will be some draw backs when it comes to weather like rain, snow, sandstorms (if you life in a desert climate). the good is that you can use it just about anywhere as long as you are in the Sat's footprint. however, your link speed will suffer. Again thats all depends on price too. Fiber is a great way to get a LOT faster speed. Most places that are offering a fiber connection already have a fiber backbone in place. If it's not, they won't offer. It would cost the company too much money to run coax and then place media converters at every location to run just a short fiber cable to the customers home. The main thing you should consider is; What do you use the net for? Most applications DSL works just fine (gaming, chatting, video chat, VoIP. . .) and the price has come down a lot. My suggestion, weigh the options and go for what you think is best.
