I was just on a cruise ship and the reason they said internet is so slow is because it comes from satellites, but we can watch live tv from satellites without buffering or any issues? Why is video so much better than internet

Internet is 2-way communication. You need to send as well as receive for it to be useful. And of course, you’re competing with everybody at once on the ship.
TV is 1-way. You are receiving. Nothing more. Just point the dish as the right satellite and you’re fine. All TV signals are coming down, you just need to split them out, and send duplicates to whatever TV wants that channel. You can often take advantage of existing TV technology with digital cable, just sending the video down a long cable split off at each location as if it were its own neighbourhood on solid ground.
