      Starlink is shitty and yet where I’m at its still easily the cheapest, fastest, and most reliable option. Infuriating really.

        Yeah, if he spent the money on laying fibre instead of using satilites that need to be replaced every at most 18 months and as little as 2 months, everyone would have been better off.

          Yeah and if my province hadn’t sold of their public telephone company to private investors I’d be even more better off so I’m more pissed about that.

            Gotta love when rich people convince our politicians that they can do the job better than the Govt and then we loose everything. Like when Brian M sold off CN Rail now Bill Gates is making billions from it.

          Yeah, but he only has the one digger, so the fiber would all end up in hyperloop-sized tunnels, it’d be like the Underminer from the Incredibles.
