this was nothing that some Ethernet and some APs couldn't fix. and as for the cellular issues, you're literally the White House. Throw up a femtocell, you already have fiber for backhaul.

this is such fucking nonsense. Starlink is fixing precisely none of this.

I mean I think it's safe to say these issues never existed in the first place. Nothing but more fables from the liar in Chief.
