So we'll soon have houses built with a place to hold a spool of 200km multi fiber cable (which shouldn't be too big, Ukrainian drones carry 40km worth of single strand but this couldbe 10 or 20 strand) and we can plug our computers into it.

You can carry multiple wavelengths over a single strand.

The article was saying the spool would give them 32gb of ram, hence the multi strand thought. Were going to want hundreds of gb to run a decent model.
