Comment on The plan for nationwide fiber internet might be upended for Starlink
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agoEvery single time the land line ISPs have gotten money for rural broadband, they use it for something else and don’t build anything. Starlink actually built a network that works. Many places have gotten decent 5G home internet too.
I have been promised fiber for over a decade yet the only wired connection available is a DSL network that’s been so poorly maintained that it barely even functions.

Do you mean works or falls out of the sky routinely to litter the earth? We build lots as far as smaller ISPs go. You just don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.

Starlink is designed to demise on re-entry. It’s a core criteria.

What does that mean to you exactly? All the ones that burnt up early weren’t designed for that lmao

It means it burns up on re-entry and doesn’t litter the earth
