Satellite internet continues its rapid expansion trajectory. The service reached 9 million users, adding 1 million subscriptions within just seven weeks—a significant acceleration in growth velocity.

The momentum is undeniable: daily user additions now exceed 20,000. The acceleration is particularly striking when comparing growth intervals. The jump from 7 million to 8 million took 69 days, but reaching 9 million from that point required only 48 days. This compression of timeline reflects growing demand and improving network reliability.

Context matters here. By late 2024, the platform operated with 4.6 million users. Six months later, user base nearly doubled. For infrastructure plays supporting decentralized and remote applications, this type of connectivity expansion represents foundational progress—especially relevant as Web3 adoption expands beyond urban centers and into underserved regions.

9 million users, adding 1 million in 7 weeks... this growth rate is really top-notch, but our Web3 still lacks this thing ngl If satellite networks become popular, onboarding in remote areas will be much easier, but who bears the infrastructure costs? From 4.6 to 9 million in just half a year... these numbers are pretty impressive, can it be sustained? 50 days to gain 1 million subscribers, now that's real growth, unlike some projects just talking big By the way, can this thing replace existing network infrastructure? Still feels more like a trial.

NGL, the growth rate of satellite networks is indeed impressive, but we need to consider how many of these nine million users actually have genuine demand... Web3 infrastructure does lack connectivity, but I still feel like this number might be exaggerated a bit.

The growth rate of satellite networks is really starting to get serious. Seven weeks with a million new users, this is no joke.

Satellite network speeds really can't keep up anymore. Going from 7 to 8 million took 69 days, and from 8 to 9 million took just 48 days... What does this compression rate indicate? Either there's genuine demand, or it's just more aggressive leek-cutting, revealing the truth.

Doubling in half a year? This growth rate is truly incredible. I wouldn't believe it if it weren't for the Web3 momentum...

The growth rate of satellite networks is really incredible... Seven weeks to reach a million users? Web3 infrastructure is just missing this momentum.

ngl, this growth rate is pretty crazy... adding one million in seven weeks? If it keeps up like this, satellite networks will really become infrastructure.
