Out of interest roughly how much "flight capacity" (self motion ability post orbit injection) do literal internet satellites have?
Are we talking small gas thrusts, magnetorquer's, etc?
If it's mag torque, how much GMF modelling is involved?

( FWiW I can think of several other ways to twitch a sat )
My main hope for internet satellites and other massive constellations is they all shutdown over radio quiet zones and ideally do something about being so shiny in the sun .. I'm a fan of radio astronomy and the night sky.
Fingers crossed. :-)
