A comment on Starlink is better than satellite and DSL but not as fast as fiber or cable.

I see speeds of up to 415Mbps down, 65Mbps up, and latency as low as ~16ms. I regularly see 200Mbps down, and I cap the upstream to 20Mbps to help with bufferbloat. Latency is usually around 20-40ms.

That's excellent! I have a friend in a very rural area served by only 5Mb/s download over CenturyLink DSL. This would be perfect for them.
