      Redundancy is almost always a good thing. If something goes wrong with one form, they have the backup while they fix it.

      Arguably the suspicious cables aren’t on the public maps.

      It’s a little confusing but I think that they are putting a starlink ground station there to offset some of the cost of the fibre network, and until fiber is finished, people can use starlink.

      It’s really unfortunate that musk owns Starlink, but this remote community proves that fibre is a reasonable option if there’s emphasis put on it. Wireless should be a last resort and satellite should be well behind that.
