That’s because you’re traveling in airspace covered by different Satellite than the one that covers The American continent. Top speed should actually be ~74MBps.

I was one of the people who helped build the system (not at Viasat)

It's almost a 1Gbps over sat link, are you correct?

Apparently it’s been benchmarked doing even better speeds. There was supposed to be new satellites launched over Europe and Asia, but at the time, this was the fastest one.

You're not far from agreeing with each other: (74 megabytes per second) / (1 gigabit per second) = 59.2 percent
