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?

Broadcast is 1 way, 1 message, no need for dedicated channel,
Dude on top of a tower can shout and hundreds can hear him…
Internet is 2 way, and therefor needs a dedicated channel…
Dude at top of tower now has a single wire to each of 100 people…
Now he can only talk 1/200th of the time to deliver the unique message to each person, and its 1/200th because he has to listen for half the time, so its 1/(people*2),
and as you can see adding more people will make it slower.
