@shaunmmaguire This is mind-bending.. Love it!
Many users are excited about Starlink V3 satellites adding 1 Tbps each and rapidly expanding global bandwidth because the announcements highlight an impressive revenue-to-Starship flywheel that multiplies capacity.

Last year Telegeography estimated Earth's "international internet bandwidth" at 1,835 Tbps This is adding up all the fiber lines that cross borders/oceans At 1 Tbps per V3 sat, and 60 sats per Starship launch Starship would roughly double Earth's bandwidth every 30 launches
Starlink V3 will increase space-based bandwidth by ~2 orders of magnitude
Thirty Starship launches could double Earth's international internet bandwidth.

SpaceX has introduced a new website for its next-generation @Starlink V3 satellites, along with new information about the satellite. • 1 Tbps downlink capacity (~10× higher than Starlink V2). • 160 Gbps uplink capacity (~22× higher than Starlink V2). • 2,048 downlink beams + 2,048 uplink beams (vs. 192 downlink/144 uplink beams on V2). • Upgraded phased array antennas enable the increased user capacity and beam count. • New SpaceX-designed beamformer chips power the phased arrays. • Modem chips handle ~64× more throughput per chip, allowing more efficient simultaneous service and real-time beam allocation based on demand. • Each satellite includes 6 high-capacity 400 Gbps laser links, enabling a redundant petabit-scale laser mesh network for global routing. • Each satellite also has 4 quad-band RF backhaul antennas operating across Ka, E, V, and W bands. • RF backhaul capacity increases to 1.2 Tbps (>8× Starlink V2). • Backhaul uplink supports 60 GHz of spectrum across frequencies and polarizations (4.3× more than V2). • New solar arrays generate ~2× the power of the V2 satellite arrays. • Solar arrays are manufactured using a continuous roll of solar blanket, cut into 19-meter sections, with 4 sections stitched together per array. • Solar arrays are optimized to reduce atmospheric drag in low Earth orbit. • A Starship launch carrying V3 satellites will deploy ~20× more network capacity than a Falcon 9 launch carrying V2 satellites. • V3 technology will support future Starlink Mobile Gen 2 satellites, delivering terrestrial-like LTE speeds directly to unmodified smartphones.
