The numbers I find a bit confusing here.

"The Starlink constellation could serve up to 188.160 MB/sec to Earth."

So is that dot a decimal point? I suppose so, because it's used like that in the following numbers

"9,373,421.84 gigabytes total bandwidth to Earth so far today"

But isnt the 188 MB/sec the bandwith and the 9 million gigabytes the transferred amount of data? How can that amount go up way faster than 188 MB / sec?

I'm confused.

The maps nice though.
