that strip of land is different every orbit, a given satellite doesn't pass over
the same land each orbit.

Yes and no.
Yes they can beef up the constellation, one section at a time. (For a given
launch, the are enhancing a particular orbit.)
Depending on your definition of “one area” when you say “not in any one area”.
Technically they would beef up an area in the shape of strips, where the strip
is the ground under the orbit of the additional (new) satellites.
Sorry, when I say “add service to an area”, it implies adding coverage to
strips of land, the land under the new satellite orbit.

The Starlink satellites are in low orbit (<90 min), so you beef up the
contellation overall, not in any one area.

What is the definition and differences between regular and best effort service?
Creating two bookings queue, wait list and best effort subscribers, the best effort
subscribers are more “real”. With that, treating best effort subscribers as a (more)
"real customer" backlog, it would be a good way to prioritize where to expand
the constellation (i.e. where to add capacity).

I've been on the wait list for almost 10 months and just received an email that I can sign up for a
"best efforts" offering. Seeing as they also indicated the estimated time for regular
service is mid-2023, I decided to go with it (You don't lose your place on the wait list). You can
also "pause" the best effort service so I don't really have anything to lose.
Has anyone had experience with this offering? Any input appreciated. If it
makes a difference, location is Central East Ohio.
According to https://www.starlink.com/legal/documents/DOC-1002-69942-69?regionCode=US
<https://www.starlink.com/legal/documents/DOC-1002-69942-69?regionCode=US>,
latency will be comparable to regular service, down will be 5-100mbs and up will be
1-10mps unless service is deprioritized due to congestion.
Thanks in advance.
