I was more thinking rural vs city.
The issue is that LEO satcoms are not great for efficiency in terms of cities. Most of the satellites are going to be underused at any given time because they'll usually be over empty water or land, while the demand is in the cities.
Thus, the system has to be designed with a massive amount of overcapacity- which is the idea behind Facebook's Internet drones.
Where do you live?
I'm pretty skeptical the service can compete, OneWeb tried the same thing and failed horribly, and the base stations aren't cheap.
