Face it Elon isn’t going to give you power from his Starlink network so why should BT.

Elon can't even put an ethernet socket on his starlink kit, you have to pay extra for a dongle. Out-friggin-rageous given the cost of the thing.

....Copper of fibre? Fibre optic cables have polymer or glass fibre strands within them to carry the data as a beam of light. No copper involved!...

It was a typo, sorry, should read "copper or fibre" (and I am aware that at current there's no way of delivering power over fibre)

...In any case, PoE has a very short distance over which it can transmit DC power (less than 100m). Can you imagine the transmission losses trying to do that at the network scale? One of those cases of 'they haven't done this for a reason' and not just cost.

Yes I am aware of that, I mentioned it for clarification as to why your telephone handset works during a power cut while your router doesn't (and won't in further either).
