Indeed they’re saying 15 meg to support three streams plus a tablet. Throw in Ultra HD at 25 meg and suddenly the number of people having not having fast enough internet increases significantly.

If Sky could reliably offer the product they would, it’s not nothing to do with being “not exactly customer friendly” more that the underlying infrastructure isn’t there to guarantee reliably offering a premium product.

As Spiderplant says, there’s no incentive for a satellite customer to move to the IP based product anyway. Why would they want to sacrifice internet bandwidth for an identical service?
