This is not as good as it sounds, because Starlink required many satellites in low Earth orbit to achieve this bandwidth improvement globally.
That said, there will ultimately be over 100k SpaceX communications satellites, most of which will be V4 or V5. Good chance that this system carries about half of global traffic.

Elon Musk just explained how agentic AI traffic will be 1,000 times human internet traffic within 5 years. He says that, per Cloudflare, agent traffic has already passed human traffic, and he thinks even the 1,000x forecast is too low.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 DHS says it is looking into new $875 million AI traffic control system that has been rolling out nationwide as potential reason for failures leading to ground stop.
The FAA has ordered a nationwide ground stop, halting departures from U.S. airports. 🇺🇸
This happened after communications problems affected air traffic control centers. Flights already in the air can land, while international flights are being handled case by case. Officials say technicians are investigating and the stop is necessary for safety. It is the first nationwide ground stop since 2023. The FAA has not said when departures will resume.
You need to call her now. There isn't any more time. The machines are coming. You won't be able to stop them. The cell towers will be next. She needs to know how you feel before it's over. Microsoft and air traffic control are only the first. You need to call her now.
The @FAAnews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them.
MICROSOFT'S OWN SERVERS STARTED DROPPING OFFLINE — 128,874 OUTLOOK OUTAGE REPORTS — IN ORDER:
→ 12:54pm ET, Nov 12 — Microsoft investigates: users can't get into Exchange Online mailboxes in the Americas, via multiple connection methods
→ 1:07pm ET — Microsoft says it may hit users in any region — not just the Americas
→ 1:09pm ET — Outlook outage reports peak at 128,874 — Teams and Copilot reports climb
→ 2:12pm ET — Microsoft pauses all deployments
→ 2:31pm ET — servers are unexpectedly down, the rest are STRAINING
By 2:50pm ET, servers were failing health checks.
Not a traffic surge. Not a rush of users.
Microsoft's own machines quit — and the whole workday waited.
That's the sequence.
And the app list in that outage tells you everything about what this is actually about:
→ The work inbox
→ The AI assistant inside Office
→ The office suite with 321 million active users
This isn't just an email outage.
It's a world office on wheels — and it stalled because the fleet wasn't done failing.
2:50pm ET: Microsoft restarts all affected servers.
When Microsoft names what knocked those servers out, you'll wish you'd followed me.
I got early access to Gemini 4 Hydrogen High in Antigravity, so I asked it to build a futuristic city I could actually fly through. Its pretty fast and pretty good. Have a look:
After one follow-up, this Three.js world has procedural towers, rain and flying traffic. I could watch this flythrough for a while.
