Global internet traffic is estimated to be 3 yottabytes per day. So Starlink is now carrying one of out every 77 million parts of worldwide traffic. Wow, that's small.

EDIT: there's some confusion information out there. With a more conservative estimate of 150.7 exabytes per month, Starlink gets 1 part of 119, which is more impressive.

The quoted number is only for inter-satellite laser links, not for other methods of information transmission.

Where do you get 3 yottabytes? That is difficult to believe. I see 150 exabytes per month [1], about a thousand times less.

Most of the traffic is probably just bounced off the satellite down to the nearby ground station still.
