[Starlink] Re: Amazon Leo announcing up to 1 Gbps (DOWN) and 400 Mbps (UP)

[David Lang <david@lang.hm>]

'up to'

We'll see if they can deliver.

There are people here who keep saying that Starlink cannot provide higher speeds 
due to limitations on the total spectrum available to each cell. Leo will have 
far fewer satellites (at least for a very long while), so the only way they will 
be able to provide higher speeds is if they have far fewer customers.

That does not sound like a way to win in the long run to me.
