- bcrl 4y agoRF just simply does not have the capacity of fibre. Capacity upgrades in a satellite network take 5-10 years. Lighting up another wavelength on a glass fibre takes a few minutes to plug in new equipment at either end of the link. Right now I see usage across my network at around 4-5 Mbps per subscriber at peak. It takes a few hundred users at those rates to overload a Starlink terminal with a gigabit port. Starlink is not a viable backhaul technology for anything but the smallest of networks.
