Also known as 42 petabytes. Or 42 trillion kilobytes. Or 336 quadrillion bits.

  • If I did the calculations right this puts starlink at roughly .32% of all internet traffic per second.

    • It's not clear if they're double counting the traffic across all the lasers in the traffic path or if it's only in and out of the laser mesh.
