Not aware of any FTA's being capable of RX/TX for internet at this time.
The major players in satellite internet are Hughes Network Systems and Wild Blue .
After Equipment and Install costs for these internet players , you will be looking at a minimum of $49.99 per month and up.

Re: Internet... ?
for canadians............fear not if youre out of town there will be a wireless internet ising hsdpa _about 3-5 mbps arriving in the next year or so. offered by rogers (whose coverage will be expanding in the next year or so as well.....
The only way for free internet is pickin up on an unlocked signal... or hacking a locked one.....
theres also an alternative depending on how much surfing you do you may also look at tethering your cellular phone as your internet connection..... Data plan rates are more reasonable as of late and for some dumb reason higher speed than most rural internet
