I looked at a few sites and the speed isn't that great either.
you are right... i looked up the satellite companys mentioned in this thread and their prices are super expensieve for services that are even more lame than what is available in my country. in addition they only allow a one way internet connection through satellite (only download) and the upload is still made through your local isp (from what i understand). my main goal is to (greatly) increase upload speed rather than download speed, so satellite is not a solution for me...
now regarding seedboxes, i didnt quite understand how it works? do i download stuff to my seedbox/server in their speeds and than transfer it to my hdd in my isp speeds and share it from my hdd using my isp upload speed? or can i download stuff to my seedbox/server and share it through a bittorent client directly from the seedbox/server in the seedbox's/server's speeds?

You download whatever to your seedbox and "seed" it from there of course.
I'm on satellite and there's nothing excellent about it.....20kb/s max upload for me
Not to mention that I can't get connectable

A seedbox is your own server somewhere on the internet usually with a 10/10 or 100/100 MBit/s connection where you can run a BitTorrent client. There are of course limitations like free harddisk space (on virtual servers this might become a problem) or traffic limits per month (depending on the rented box you'll have limits of several hundred GB's or maybe 1-2 TB's, more traffic generally costs more).
But there are already hundreds of threads on that topic, I believe you'll find plenty with the keyword seedbox
Oh and before I forget it, there do exist satellite internet connections with uplink also. Well, I know one that's already open for the public, its name is Tooway. As you can see though, the available packages are not nearly enough to be satisfying, not counting the high setup costs (400 €).
