Just a quick question, have you thought about satellite Internet services? Or is that not feasible/possible/...?

We can get DISH or DirectTV internet, but they limit you to 10GB a month and my wife surpasses that alone with her work. The cost is more expensive than our DSL for that 10gb.

Well, not sure if there's other options, I've seen some that offer 25Gb for something around $130/month but that was a while ago and I don't know if they're available in your region.

As for the 1.5mbps, if that is really dedicated to you and only you then it "can" be faster than your current DSL. The question remains if it warrants the price difference for the marginal difference it might bring.

25gb for $130? I see cable internet for that speed, but not T1 for that speed.

Sorry, that was 25Gb/month in data, not speed. I'm sure there's more choice out there, I'm not very familiar with the US market on satellite Internet.
