minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·1 month agoSo, just to clarify, are you in favor of replacing all fiber with Starlink?
minus-squareBytemeister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoNope. But I think it would faster and easier to replace all fiber with Starlink than it would to replace all fiber with fiber again.
minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·1 month agoOkay, so to clarify, are you in favor of ending all new fiber installation projects in favor of Starlink?
minus-squareBytemeister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoNo. That’s not what I said. Please stop trying to frame this like I am pro-starlink. I’m not.
