Comment on Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies
misophist@lemmy.world 11 months agoBrother, we have wildly different definitions of “nowhere” if you get 5G. When I lived in a rural shithole in the US, I had to drive 100 miles to start picking up 5G signals (though that was just before the pandemic, so maybe 5G coverage has improved greatly in the past 3 years).

Shit man, I used to commute almost that exact distance each way. Anything under triple digits is practically in-town in many places.
