> So, does that mean 95% of internet users are facing even worse quality of service?

The first sentence of the article makes it clear the 95% figure is in reference to speed.

…and only is reported by some users. Full sentence:

“Some of the participants in SpaceX’s public Starlink beta are reporting internet speeds higher than 95 percent of U.S. internet users.”

So the same could be said of regular providers? "Some users report speeds higher than 95% of the other users"...

This really needs more precise wording. What percentage of Starlink users (more than 5%?) and what's the speed difference?
