Starlink won't have higher data caps than other satellite providers. They have at most 20Gbps per satellite, and realistically, much lower. Even with a couple in view that's still far less than the existing HTS satellites.

Close - based on https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1128834111878193155?s=20, 60 satellites providing combined 1tbps ~= 16.6 gbps per satellite.

This doesn't say how many will be in view at any time. Since this tweet they've had suspected propulsion problems and have filed an amendment to change their orbit to a lower one.
