Question DirectWay DSL

I am going to be moving to a house in the country that doesn't have cable access. I am thinking about going to DirectTV/DirectWay for a wireless connection. Does anyone use this? If so does it work well ?
Regular DSL (from DirectTV and possibly from PAC Bell also) is available I'm pretty sure but I thought this might be the way to go.

I'd definitely go DSL over Satellite if it's available.

The latency with a Satellite connection will be very high. Everyone I've talked to who tried Satellite wasn't terribly impressed. Weather issues, latency issues, etc.
