Where I live, we only have Satellite internet (and cell phone internet) and dialup.
We were going to go with Wild Blue, but after a lot of research, many satellite companies are similar. We ended up returning the dish because the "free" installation wasn't free at all. But that wasn't all the red flags. The "scam" on free installation was the final straw, but I'll tell you to look at these things
*You buy your own equipment (ours was over 500 dollars)
*80 a month for 10gigs of data (you'll want to stay away from youtube and netflixs and such) Though now they offer another 10 gig a month between 2am and 6am as I understand it. It's just not very much data in this day and age unless you don't do a lot online.
*Very sensitive to weather (outages very common)
*data parceled on a daily basis (which means you can't use a whole gig in a day. You get about 330 megs +/- a day. If you go over, it shuts down to 10 percent of speed. If you went over several days in a row, you'd get shut down for a day (I think... can't remember the exact amount of time)
*Warranty costs. Even though we had a warranty on the equipment, it was 95 dollars each time they would service your warranty.
*Equipment failure. Make sure to research the equipment they use. The equipment we had seemed to last many people just about a year (about the length of the warranty)
If it was me, and your comcast is a landline, I'd pay the extra for comcast. Satellite is not "broadband" internet. If you notice they refer to it as "high speed", but only by comparison to dialup.
Now all that being said, I know people that have it and are glad they have some option other than dialup. BUT if there was ANY other option in our area, I think no one would stay with satellite. It'd be nice to watch movies and such without worrying about how much data you've used.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
