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

1.78K 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?

In lay terms… Imagine that you’re throwing a party. You post this on FB. People see that… done. Now, instead of doing that, imagine having to call (not text) every person you want to invite.

This is the difference. Megaphone to a crowd vs individual conversations.
