how starlink works (highly technical)

I wouldn't be too worried about speeds. Even if the 100-300MB speeds are severely degraded in real life, it's still comparable or better than the 10-15MB you get with a 4G cell phone in good coverage areas (assuming the cell company doesn't throttle you for using too much data).

My cell phone from Sasktel does up to 85 mb down and 40 up. My Bell cell phone does 25 down and 15 up.

However, at supper time that changes due to congestion at the tower which is 400 feet from me. Then neither phone is what I'd call fast. However I can watch netflix with either phone when they are throttled. Sasktel throttle is 2 ms and Bell is 0.54 ms.
