I believe the numbers thrown around are for the total satellite capability, it's not per user or per cell and it includes the in-space laser links.

But what does this actually mean? Again there you could look at the sum of ISL capacities (3 x 100 Gb/s where installed) plus beam capacities (version dependent), but that doesn't necessarily mean that the satellite can pump between them at full barrel.

Defining a total capacity isn't all that easy when you think of it.
