It's important to distinguish between Starlink and the old kind of satellite internet - they are entirely different.
Latency will be on par with using a VPN a few hundred miles away (the satellites are in low earth orbit, not geostationary like previous generations). Upload speeds will also not be like with previous satellite internet, which often used dial-up for upload because the satellite+dish setup was not designed to receive signals from users on the ground.
