In reply to an inquiry about rural broadband, one of SpaceX's sales engineers told the Nebraska state government about a year ago:
"Service levels of 100 Mbps down / 40 Mbps up would generally be anticipated, but depends on
how dense the user-base is within a region. Latency will be very low, ~30 ms or so, far quicker than existing satellite-based solutions due to our much lower orbit, and comparable to fiber. User segment is a 19-inch electronically steered antenna, mounted on one’s rooftop."
And a more recent test by the Air Force measured 610 Mbps with an aircraft in flight, though of course there was very little contention to worry about.
