Sattelite DSL - does anybody have experience with it?

Hi kiters,
I am dreaming of taking my work out to kite places, perhaps even live there when the wind blows. Most of what I need is a phone and high speed internet. Sattelite DSL seems to be a possiblity to get high speed internet connection wherever you can find a southern sky to point your dish to.
But I also heard that the perfomance is not sooo god and working with delays. Also it is limited to the US. Did anyone of you try it? Do you have experienced sattelite DSL? I would not just need it for email but also for other applications which require pretty much real time connection (Webex, Live meeting, Netmeeting, Citrix type conections into hosted applications, terminal server etc.). What are the chances that this will work? If you have a satetlite DSL - may I try and hook up my laptop to check?
Any other ideas? Is anyone here who has a wireles internet subscription like with Surfline? Please share your experiences, that would be cool
...if THAT works that would be pretty neat.
Thanks! - Sylvia
