Eli5: How can we beam unlimited HD satellite TV to billions of homes but satellite internet is objectively terrible?

1.82K viewsOtherTechnology

So, my parents livr in an area where the only internet available is satellite. It sucks.

However, they also have satellite TV and can watch that no problem.

What’s the difference? Is it just a scale issue where TV has more money and resources compared to satellite internet companies?

Which is baffling that I think there is a Verizon 5G home internet ad where the kid is like “I can game on it?”. And every time I feel like the parents are smirking like “Well, technically….but” as he constantly get wrecked because his ping is so high.

Like I would choose to open a can of worms by bringing up gaming performance on any cellular network. You are talking talking go people that will argue 30fps is “literally unplayable”.
