True.

I'm in rural UK. Blessed with fast fibre. However if the power goes out, it's a proper blackout. I'm slowly sorting out the ups situation along with nut

When the power goes out or fibre dies I cannot rely on 4/5G as they die also, so starlink is the only option



For how long and how often does your power go out? Living just across the channel in NL, I don’t know that I’ve ever had my power go out one time in the last 3 years that I’ve lived here.


There was a 60-hour-long power outage in parts of Berlin, Germany, just 5 days ago. However, to be fair, it only affected like a quarter of the city, and it was caused by an intentional attack (arson) rather than a malfunction.
