Isn't the point to target sparsely populated areas? I haven't seen anyone saying it will replace fibre optic networks in high density areas. 1Gbps is becoming common in New Zealand major centres and I've seen 4Gbps offered recently as well (with some minor upgrades required)
My parents live an hour out of our city (2 with traffic) and their service is around 3Mbps and it has just slowly degraded over the time they've lived there and been left behind by ISPs. They do have a great view of the sky though for their connectivity issues. I love the night sky there and soon I hope to love it even more knowing that its no longer a frustrating trade off for them.
Rural broadband and satellite providers are the ones looking to be disrupted with their low speeds, low data caps and high costs.
