I thought it was profitable including the satellite launches but could have misunderstood. They are raking in billions a year and thair launch costs are extremely low because of rocket reuse.
Kelvin Posted February 5 Posted February 5 5 hours ago, -rick- said: I thought the full fibre products fed back the fibre direct to the local exchange (which should have at least some degree of backup power and be prioritised to restoration in event of an outage). Not sure if they have generators or not (I would guess they do in places with frequent outages). So maybe outages isn't such a worry? Not around us. If there’s a power cut the fibre goes off line.
Alan Ambrose Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago It shouldn't do - are you sure it's not just your own router or OR's ONT going dead?

Iceverge Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago Our 5g supplier has decided to pull their service. We have a fixed antenna on the wall outside with a Cat6 to the router. Would this cable do for starlink or is it a special one?
