PROJECT LIGHTHOUSE
The Starlink V3 constellation will ultimately deliver more than 100 times the bandwidth of the current 11,000-satellite Starlink constellation.
Editor's noteImputed a reasonable 'ultimate' horizon of five years after the statement (to 2031-09-15) to make the claim testable; named FCC public filings/SpaceX technical specifications as the specific sources for verifying projected aggregate bandwidth.

Original statement
“Starlink V3 constellation starts being deployed this month. Ultimately, it will deliver more than 100 times the bandwidth of our current 11,000 satellite constellation. https://t.co/oB8LVm8bgp”
Normalized claim
The Starlink V3 constellation will ultimately deliver more than 100 times the bandwidth of the current 11,000-satellite Starlink constellation.
A falsifiable interpretation, separate from the exact source text.
Resolution criteria
Projected aggregate system capacity (bandwidth) as reported in SpaceX's technical filings in the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) public docket for Starlink V3 or SpaceX's published technical specifications on spacex.com, comparing V3 aggregate throughput to the current 11,000-satellite network.
