Satellite (even LEO) is seriously one's LAST option - or more accurately, ONLY option. By contrast, there's decades old fiber (like 50 f'ing years) still in use with modern xWDM systems moving vast amounts of traffic. Residential / consumer fiber is now over two decades old, still relevant, and still being used with faster and faster equipment. When a Starlink terminal is ~600$, that really shits all over those "per passings" figures everyone loves to vomit. If it's such a great value, show me the billions Elon has made with the crap.
