IMHO the root cause of such outages should be inspected as we deserve to stay connected, we as ISP’s and our clients continue to suffer from such outages while it comes to the benefit of the Satellite Services.
Fibre carries significant orders of magnitude more capacity than satellite ever will per unit time. Subsea cable failures are not necessarily a benefit to satellite providers. They simply do not have the capacity to be a 1:1 replacement. It is like comparing cows and humans, even though we are both mammals.
It is important to understand that the Internet (and all the infrastructure that goes along with it) is largely privately held and decentralized.
I hear you about making demands for more central protection, but are you sure you want what could potentially come with it in the form of more central control also?
As the judge (Fred Gwynne) in the Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei 1992 movie "My Cousin Vinny" so eloquently said:
"Win some, lose some"
