Yeah, it doesn’t consume uplink bandwidth. But I learned that with canopy all
those years ago. (18 years ago?) We started out selling 256k+ burst. Then as
competition came in we doubled it to 512k without increasing cost. Customers
loved it. Our upstream connection hardly increased. Later we doubled it again
and again saw very little backbone change. But those were days before
streaming. We postulated that higher speeds just got people on and off for
quickly and made the whole network more efficient.

On fiber it’s actually pretty easy to do (Gigabit for <$90) - because people
don’t use it any harder than they use a 25/3 connection.

If you can sell gigabit for $50 (or even $90), don’t come to my area please.

You're never going to see starlink in your area if you're offering a gig.

The good news is a half million sub limit. They will easily find a half
million hard to serve locations around the globe without breaking a sweat.
So the low hanging fruit are not our customers.

There are some details in this story that were new to me. One of the ones
that popped up was that each group of 60 Starlink satellites is expected to
support ~~ 40,000 subscribers.
That puts the 800 satellite "moderate service level" at supporting about
half a million subscribers (~~ 533,000).
In order to support a million subscribers, they will need about 1500
satellites.
