I genuinely don't get that. How is adding 4-5 extra radar pictures a couple times an hour too much data? Genuine question. At least put a few vector sticks on the major cells, that would be virtually zero extra bandwidth.
Thankfully, I'm on a fleet that has (almost all, I think) Viasat. Not that I can ever connect to it without a fight...
