Satellite Internet

Currently we live where we can get cable internet, and have average speeds of 54.0 Mbps. We use the internet for all communications and viewing - no TV.

I'd like to move away from town/subdivision-ville, but of course, we'd sacrifice the cable internet. Satellite is available, but with caveats - "high" speed is 1.5Mbps and there's a limit to how much you can use per month etc, etc.

Has anyone else living in the US had experience of satellite internet, with the pros & cons involved?

I've read a little about it, but can anyone explain why its so relatively slow, and what are the chances of speeds increasing soon enough to benefit my house hunting?

Thank you.
