Try 2 or 3 sites at different distances from you on http://www.speedguide.net/
to get an average baseline speed... say, 1 from the US, 1 from DE, and the 1 in Jakarta, then copy and paste the results (or at least the links to the image showing the up/down speeds) to notepad to save for comparison later.
Then see what the TCP Analyzer says at http://www.speedguide.net/
Especially note the RWIN value currently set and those recommended, and the calculated maximum speeds possible under the ''bandwidth * delay product'' heading with theoretical ping times.
All the satellite providers I'm aware of will throttle back your bandwidth if you exceed the 'average use' (it's in the fine print of the contract), but it doesn't sound like that is what is happening in your case.

Slow web browsing in Vista is more than likely caused by a 3rd party program scanning the web pages
one source I found that caused this problem was the program SpySweeper.
If the Common Ad Sites shield is enabled web browsing with Java-heavy websites in Vista will be painfully slow.
Disable Spysweeper if you have it returned the speed.
Another sourced solution for slow web browsing disable this-->
control panel --> Device Manager --> Network Adapters --> Wireless Adapter --> Power Settings and UNCHECKED "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power .
Hope it assists you
