they aren't actually positioned over an area. They orbit the earth once every ~90mins. There are currently about 2700 satellites in several different orbits. They are like a convoy where several satellites follow each other through the same orbit.
And if you wanted to order "business" service to get inserted into an area that currently does not have residential available, the price is $500/mo. Just look at the screenshot below. It's pretty clear that's exactly what it says.

But, for residential service (no longer available in my area until when they expand service in 2023). It is less expensive.
