Global internet traffic is estimated to be 3 yottabytes per day. So Starlink is now carrying one of out every 77 million parts of worldwide traffic. Wow, that's small.
EDIT: there's some confusion information out there. With a more conservative estimate of 150.7 exabytes per month, Starlink gets 1 part of 119, which is more impressive.
- uoaei 3y agoThe quoted number is only for inter-satellite laser links, not for other methods of information transmission.
- bagels 3y agoMost of the traffic is probably just bounced off the satellite down to the nearby ground station still.
- jlmorton 3y agoWhere do you get 3 yottabytes? That is difficult to believe. I see 150 exabytes per month [1], about a thousand times less. https://gitnux.org/internet-traffic-statistics/ https://gitnux.org/internet-traffic-statistics/ [1]
