      How are satellites better if they will never be faster? Do we just accept life in 300ms latency? We will always need better communication so it makes no sense to invest into inferior product even if it’s more accessible currently.

      Unless quantum communication becomes real thing nothing will match fiber and cell towers in the foreseeable future.

      Sat is a fringe technology for war and extreme remote areas, everything else is already solved.

          And my OP clearly stated that sat has uses but it’s compleyely overhyped otherwise. So I’m not sure what are you even talking about here if not just goal post moving.
