yea, it can be. sucking-up your own internet connection, that you're also paying for, to watch 'satellite' tv. i bet she didn't get a discount for that, either. cheaper for them though, satellites are expensive, bandwidth is cheap (for them, anyway.. what they charge customers most likely doesn't reflect that).

BobKerman3999@feddit.it 1 year agoYeah what’s up with that? At my mom’s place they just took the dish down and gave her an internet box. Isn’t that a lot of bandwidth wasted?

It’s Sky profiteering. The whole reason Sky was supposed to justify being expensive was because of the infrastructure cost, which was baked into the over Sky TV price. Now they’re charging the same price but you also pay for the infrastructure for your internet, and also as you say it uses up bandwidth on your internet. At least with VOIP the use is more or less negligible, but HD video streaming uses a lot.
