You know. It’s actually surprising if you think about it. Just how vulnerable the infrastructure our modern lives rely on actually is.
The U.S Power Grid for instance. Ridiculous amounts of it are routed through a handful of substations. A couple dudes and some rifles could knock out power to most of the country. That’s not even factoring in the Cobbled together Frankenstein it actually is.
A group of determined enough divers could at least in theory set back global international communication to the 60s by just slicing some wires.
These types of post is what the media will use to make you look like terrorists (same with the post I made about assploding the pipeline lol se you in gitmo
Fiber optic works at the speed of light etc but the distance is still much shorter then sending signals to space and back down. That’s why. Lower latency and more reliable
Suddenly dies because climate change?
That orange one that goes from uk to us, I remember the day when that doubled from 2mbps to 4mbps and we had a party.
You read that right. mega bits per second.
For you guys who got a Starlink modem, I hope it works as intended should the need arise.

If people only knew how fragile the power grid actually is in both the uk and the us, they'd be terrified.
I guess the real question is where is this site hosted?

Question. What are the thousands of 'communication' satellites for? Wouldn't that make terrestrial cables obsolete?
