Moreover, I suspect that you wouldn’t want them to do that, because ultra constrained networks are far too constrained for the large HTTP transactions used by these technologies.

I'm not asking with a specific carrier in my mind, but a source says a direct-to-cell satellite network can provide 4.4Mbps or 18.3Mbps of downlink bandwidth. Will iOS still consider such a network as an ultraConstrained network?
(ref: https://www.scribd.com/document/612879369/Technical-Narrative-1 )
Again, what I want to achieve is to allow users to log in to my app with WebAuthenticationSession or UIWebView even when the device is under a carrier-provided satellite network. Typical users should have logged in before coming to a place where cellular networks is not readily available, but I don't want to lose a possible edge case when a user happened to have my app installed on their device but not have logged in.
If a carrier-provided satellite network could only provide a few Kbps of bandwidth, iOS should have considered such a network as ultraConstrained, but if the network has a few Mbps or even a few hundred Kbps of bandwidth, then showing a simple login web page should be possible.
I have assumed that a carrier-provided satellite network is always a ultraConstrained network, and to be able to use it my app needs to opt in to allowUltraConstainedPaths property. Is my assumption still true?
Thanks again,
