I beg to differ. Comcast seems to be doing some things to improve
reliability.
Yes, they have, and they did stay up during a 16 hour outage last week.
But their system has yet to be tested in the long blackout that this one
is likely to be (they're saying prepare for Sunday).
More to my particular situation -- I'd ordered, received, and paid for
the Starlink system more than a year ago. Also, what happens if a key
feed to the Comcast system is physically broken? As we learned here in
the mountains, redundancy is a wonderful thing.
BTW -- W6GJB, who has no Comcast and whose telco lines are so bad that
DSL doesn't work, is thrilled with his Starlink. He has a lot more open
sky than I do.
