My parents are out in the country, they used to be on satellite internet. They had satellite speeds download which are okay and dial up speeds upload, It also tied up their phone line when they were on the internet. Overall their speeds were way lower than you get in the city and were a bit more expensive. The bright side is that high speed wireless is now available to them, it is quite a bit faster but is still slower than Shaw/Telus and is more expensive. They also have fairly low caps on data use, I think it's something like 10-20 gigs per month. Wireless is slowly becoming available in rural areas so you might be okay soon.
