Is anyone else using Hughesnet or Satellite Internet here?

Aye. I'd go with a 3g card if you have cell service in your area. If you don't, and you *really* want to play EQ, Dialup would work better than Satellite.

Have you checked with your local telephone company to see if they offer DSL? DSL has been moving more and more rural these days...
