How good is 3Mbps Ethernet Internet from Windstream compared to HughesNet satellite internet?

My company is out in the country and we do not have access to DSL or cable so we are currently useing HughesNet satellite internet which is better than dial up but not great. Windstream has just made available to us Ethernet Internet at 3Mbps. It sounds like it will be a lot better but I want to make sure that it is going to be worth the 3 year contract and $299 per month fee. We are currently paying $214 per month for HughesNet 2Mbps not garanteed, usually runs at about 1.3Mbps with a lots of outages but we are out of contract.|||In my experience all satellite internet providers are pretty equally unreliable. If this is for business I would go with the faster 3mbps, but if this is a residential install you will have to weigh out the pros and cons and take a deep look at your contract to see how guaranteed their "Guarantee" actually is.
