The most interesting advantage to this LEO system is that it should be resilient to the magnetosphere flattening in the event of solar minimum – normal sats will be much more vulnerable to cosmic rays should the low solar activity continue into the future.

My son signed up. For now he occasionally gets 500 mbps download speed, but the average is 40 to 50 mbps. That is fine with him, it allows his kids to watch HD videos on separate IPADs without interfering with his wife’s home office work. He says with more satellites launched it will quadruple.
