The devices were in immediately the storm passed. Not X days later. The people who brought them in are the ones who asked for it because they have activation issues. The world and Asheville doesn't exist only for you. And as I've pointed out a lot of those towers are backhauled over starlink. They could very well have received those texts over it before fiber was restored. Even today, days later, there's people asking for starlink to be delivered because x town is down

> The devices were in immediately the storm passed Fema currently only has 40 in. (Citation in another comment, kindly take my word for it). Do you know how many immediately afterwards, any data or evidence? Even wild ass guess? > The world and Asheville doesn't exist only for you. This sounds like your own bias and frustration and assumptions. I'll respond to the insult by asking we calm down and have dialogue. This is not twitter. > a lot of those towers are backhauled over starlink. Do you have more information on this? How many? Which ones? Do I have starlink to thank for enabling SMS to waynesville? > They could very well have received those texts over it before fiber was restored. This is speculation. Can we firm up this claim?

  We have videos of several people who were there the next day with Starlink. Their names are in this thread. They are the ones that had activation issues. It's not expensive and they also brought power. They met the actual first responders who lost access to firstnet More than 40 is my guess. Understand that these are individuals. No link to charities or organizations. Just people going in on their own. In every disaster, mobile providers bring in tower on wheels. Starlink is the cheapest provider. Lots of cell towers these days don't have microwave. If you only get calls/SMS on a tower these days you've definitely lost your fiber connectivity. With connectivity over SATCOM or even another 4G network. i.e a hotspot. If you find recent documents about TOW's you'll see you can lease one and they mention you have to bring your own starlink. When they tell you how much alternatives cost you'll be happy to go with it.
