You can get 'one way' satellite that will work off a Sky minidish, which uses a dialup account for the upstream. That is more cost effective, but still probably about £50 a month as you have to pay for a dial up account as well as the satellite.

And sat BB is not reputedly any good for online gaming because it has high latency.
