>max capacity nearly 24/7
At some point during this whole thing, Musk tweeted a bandwidth usage graph that showed that all of the Starlink units combined (many thousands of them) were using a total of 7TB a day. Which is a minuscule amount of data and wouldn't be much of an issue even if it was for a single unit.
I got the impression that they were turning on the super expensive max unrestricted service (which has no incremental cost over the regular service) then pretending that the price of the service times the number of units was money that they were losing every month.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoThat 7TB figure seems pretty low for several thousand terminals over 24 hours, do you have a link to the numbers?

- MichaelZuo 4y agoThat chart seems to be indicating 7TB per hour at the peak, not per day.
