Is cable an absolute necessity (versus on-demand streaming services via Apple TV, etc.)?
It sounds like your "satellite" unit is requiring a lot more from the internet than just basic patches or guide information (and frankly, if it's "satellite", why does it need the internet at all)? You are paying for that service… demand another way. Explain to them that if they can't deliver 100% of the service through the satellite that you are paying for (and not from your internet connection supplied by a 3rd party) that you will no longer be a customer. Pretty sure if you review your contract that they're at fault with this questionable activity.
That said, you may want to review your download speeds with something like Speedtest.net. If you are getting low speeds you're going to have issues when sharing the connection for various media types constantly.
