Hughes will work okay as a backup internet if that’s what you’re after. Typically when people talk about Hughes they’re really desperate and satellite is the only option at all.
I would very much rather not feed the nazi either, but that was my only Internet option I’d probably have to consider it. Although I also probably wouldn’t consider moving somewhere without decent connectivity, given I’m a sysadmin and really need the bandwidth.

If you are within visual sight of the mainland, you can use a pair of point-to-point communication dishes to get internet from the mainland and beam it to yourself. These dishes, only having to communicate over a few miles and with direct line-of-sight, are pretty reliable.
