Directv and Dish have made satellite TV work and their dishes have gotten larger over the years....
I’ve had directv for years.....I would put a Starlink dish up in a minute if it works as advertised...
Do they throttle you if you go over a certain amount of usage?
For the consumer they are broadcast only - one-way communications.
Found out the hard way that Directv does not do internet in rural areas. They BUNDLE with a “third party,” (Hughesnet) but cannot transfer personal information. So you have to establish your own account with the”bundled” provider. That makes two bills and higher costs. Satellite internet is marginal at best and goes downhill from there because of weather. Would not recommend either company!
Had Dish once - horrible.
The argument isn’t that they have some customers such as yourself, just that a dish on may homes is considered ugly and limits resale as well as customer base.
Dishes used to be 4-6 feet in diameter, and then they got much smaller - now apparently they are getting bigger again.
