Its about giving slow satellite to rural areas as opposed to fibre.

[kortilla]

Starlink doesn’t prevent fiber and there has been zero interest in giving fiber to these people with or without subsidies. So it’s about giving fast satellite internet to people in rural areas or leaving them with much worse than options.

At a typical residential contention of 50:1 that's 350mbit

At a really good residential rate of 10:1 that's still 70mbit
