What is the alternative?

Geostationary needs a lot more power to transmit.

That's not even the issue with geostationary. The problem is latency to/from satellites in geostationary orbit.

Underground fiber. The thing we paid all our telecoms to install back in the 90s, which they promptly didn't do after pocketing all the money.
