Without space satellites, rural areas would have no internet. Starlink exists. Are you saying you believe space satellites are made up?
Its all made up. Yes. Satellites do not exist in space.
Ever used Google Maps? GPS tracking would be impossible without space satellites. What is your theory for how GPS works, given you don’t believe in satellites?
You ever seen them driving the car mapping out the streets. You ever thought about that.
You have drivers driving Google cars, taking pictures every minute. Mapping out every city, every street, and you believe it's satellites still
GPS relies on an ECEF coordinate system. That stands for earth-centered-earth-fixed. It uses the geocentric WGS 84. It's brutal cognitive dissonance once you explore the topic. Everything assumes a stationary plane, and "satellites" don't need to be in 'space'. https://m.primal.net/KnsC.png

Almost all communications are done by undersea cables. https://m.primal.net/Knrj.png
