With the availability of Starlink nearly everybody in a rural area could already get high speed internet making this government program even more insane than it already is
As a rural resident, I am on Starlink and it is really good but there has been some fed money trickle down that has been laying fiber in the area. I got fiber to the house two days ago. Not installed inside yet. I have to make the decision to switch which should be easy with the higher fiber speed and half the monthly cost. Ill surely switch but i feel guilty about abandoning Musk. Will keep the equipment ready for backup though.
