If you use starlink, you deserve far worse. 5g is usually sufficient unless you’re out in the ocean or something. Either way it’s ruining the night sky, making launches more dangerous, destroying the ozone layer we tried so hard to repair, and supporting death and fascism.
Tell me you know nothing about rural living without telling you know nothing about rural living
Fortunately in my area in Australia we have wireless broadband. There are small towers installed and operated by a local company that provide a good service. The whole lot of towers interconnect using microwave too so can span a large area. In any case, fibre isn’t coming to my place probably ever.
5G in rural America is terrible. I can’t make a phone call in my house, let alone get an internet connection. I’m not even in a particularly remote area.
There are Starlink dishes everwhere you look here because it’s currently the only real option. It will probably be a while until they get some competition from Amazon.
Because they lobbied to shutdown running fiber to your community.
there is 100s of miles of fiber spools just sitting for years at a utility maintenance yard here. the provider that was doing the work to expand services just took the rest of the free money and split.
Maybe someday someone can explain why ISPs are not municipal services like water and sewage.
The local ISP has been promising fiber for over a decade. They waited until Starlink took most of their customers before they started putting it in.
This made me ask “wait, is that true” and apparently it is. Super, skin cancer for everyone. 🤦
And it’ll take ages to have an impact too.
So the “reentry byproducts” from a satellite re-entering now, won’t start breaking down ozone until 2056, and by then there will be another 30 years’ worth of byproducts deposited in the upper atmosphere.
And since it’s a catalyst, it won’t even be consumed in the process like CFCs are.
Tldr aluminum from burning up satellites is a catalyst that breaks down ozone.
I wonder if wooden satellites would help. I don’t know how capable they are compared to normal ones, but it should reduce the amount of aluminium we launch into space.
