I had Hughes Net a few years back and can confirm that SSH access was pretty much intolerable for me. The delay between what I was typing, and when it would actually show up on the screen in the remote terminal was really annoying for me. As mentioned in previous responses, I think you would want a low orbit satellite internet provider, if you can find one for residential use.
In my case, I had a land line, but was too far out for ADSL, so I ended up getting ISDN (*with unlimited local calling on my phone plan*). Of course the SSH usage experience then was much better.
