For everything short of an EMP-related issue or big-rock-falls-everyone-dies scenario, yes, satellite is more survivable.

However.... The following is based on my parents' experince with Hughsnet.

You are limited to a pretty paltry amount of bandwidth per day. They don't cut you off, they just limit you to much less than dial up for a day or two to punish you. Even as it is, the connection speed is only fractionally better than dialup, assuming you have no wet trees in the way- rain and trees, you have no connection. And they've had to replace three in a year due to them getting fried from something, presumably lightening strikes within a few miles.

And more to the point- the web is going to be pretty far down your list of priorities at that point. No need to tell us you are ok- we'll assume you are, wish you luck in the manner that we each find most culturally and theologically appealing, and those of us who will be responding in your general direction will move out.

A friend has Bluesky, and their monthly cap is much lower than comcast (he grabs the security updates off comcast as his GF's or here) and has all of the connectivity issues I've seen with Hughsnet.

Oh, and if you do any kind of gaming, guess what- your ping times are going to go in the toilet. That can't be improved, you are working against the speed of light.

99.9% of the time, I'd think you'd be happier with fiber.
