Starlink doesn't have to completely match Comcast one-to-one, they just have to be a credible competitor. That increases the bargaining power of the consumer. Particularly as Starlink grows and as OneWeb and especially Project Kuiper comes online.
These low-latency satellite constellations will reduce the local oligopoly/monopoly rents (and thus profitability) of Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink, Cox, Frontier, etc... And the money that would've been profit will go to consumers' pockets, even if they don't themselves subscribe.
