It’s not meant for that and won’t really ever compete well against it if fiber can be run there cost effectively, although there are odd situations even in cities where it’s useful.
Like maybe there’s a warehouse in some part of a big city that somehow wasn’t connected and the utilities wants 50k to connect it.
Realistically we can’t run fiber everywhere, but there’s many millions of more homes out there that could be but aren’t, and the telcos keep taking money to do the upgrades and do jack all.
Nowhere close. Wireless anything needs to share a band across multiple devices. With fiber, you can either have an exclusive run to the service provider or, at the very least, to a connection point shared with some neighbors.
Can starling even come close to the speed of fiber? I’m getting a gibabit a second for 50 bucks a month

I’ve seen about 250mbps down on a friend’s terminal. You can probably get faster.
