Hmmm. StarLink does considerably better than that, but their constellation is fairly expensive. I'm assuming you picked that benchmark because you think Verizon might try for a sat-phone model, or at least to have such a network available as a fallback from maintaining expensive infrastructure in less populated areas?
@AndrewHartman Mostly I picked that because T-Mobile is doing an SMS-only version of this. Basic internet feels like the logical next step
