> Satellite is not and will never be a replacement for fiber.
Plenty of suburban homes don't have fiber availability and are just fine. I'd rather have 3 coax companies competing for my business than 1 fiber option. I just really don't care that much about speeds above what coax (and Starlink) have to offer. Honestly, I'm on the lowest tier offered by my cable company, and I'd go lower if it would cut my monthly bill by a commensurate amount.

And I’d rather have the city or county pull a single fiber back to a pop where an ISP can compete for my business because it’s absolutely absurd to have multiple companies pulling the same cable to a single address and using that last mile as a moat.
