Unfortunately it seems like Starlink in particular probably won't be useful for urban areas with poor competition. I'd be interested if it were, but from the sounds of it, they won't be able to handle lots of users in a small area.

Likely, but Australia might have a bit less of that because all the big cities are very distant from each other. A Starlink satellite with a view of Perth, for example, is going to have close to absolutely nothing else on its horizon. Above the US, for instance, that’s unlikely with many people living in between too.
