With regards to the Satellite systems i am affraid sir you are misinformed. Granted they are expensive, normally somewhere around £300 ish for a 2mb connection per month. But they are reliable, from reading here more so than NTL it would seem true some of them do require a dial for the Up Stream, but on a whole most of them transmit from the dish as broadband speeds. I know of a few companies which do 4mb down and 4mb up, and i have managed to get a 10mb down speed through a sat system which maintianed that speed nicely all day.
