SpaceX Starlink is now its own ASN and present at the Seattle Internet Exchange

But isn't it still relatively very low bandwidth? I think they tested a v2 with ~700Mbps. In terms of normal everyday consumers, what are the implication of Starlink outside of Rural area?

PS: Thanks for the summary and NO Starlink phone. I have gotten sick and tired of people jumping to conclusion suggesting Starlink taking over ISP and Mobile Network. And that is even on HN.

Are you saying 700mbps is slow? Or is that all the bandwidth that the single link can provide (meaning 700 divided by the number of subscribers)? Living in a fly over state, I was lucky at first to get much more than 10mbps. Spectrum has now provided service to my area and I can get 400mbps and am super happy.

Sorry I was wrong. Total Maximum Capacity per Sat is 17Gbps as of v1.0. V2.0 will add even higher Capacity and Inter Sat communication.
