Starlink is not competitive with fibre.  It's not faster, it's not cheaper
and it remains to be seen how reliable it is, as the beta still has
issues.  Another challenge is seeing how well it will cope with tree
coverage, as that's a huge part of the problem in a number of places in
the Ottawa valley.
