- wmf 5y agoStarlink can replace Comcast... for a few customers. Starlink will become congested if too many people switch.
- tzs 5y ago(Bandwidth of an individual satellite) x (the number of satellites they will have when they get the full constellation up) puts a cap on how many customers Starlink can handle and still deliver the specified performance. That cap is way lower than the number of Comcast subscribers.
- omgwtfbyobbq 5y agoI think that depends on how oversubscribed Comcast is. My local cable co only allows 1TB/month of data because of how oversubscribed they are. Even with that limit, speeds still drops a ton during peak use.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoEach starlink sat can handle 25 gbit/s each way. Each starlink sat covers an area about the size of a city. You do the math.
- omgwtfbyobbq 5y agoI'm getting about 100 million subscribers with the current fleet (1700 satellites) if they oversubscribe and limit subscribers to 1tb/month like my local cable co.
