There's a concomitant number of ground stations augmenting the network. In my relatively small town starlink has 300gbps via fiber serving two base stations. They're doing the infrastructure right with the aim of $100 gigabit internet service. Which Hughes and viasat could have pulled off if they'd been able to reach the same orbits, volume of satellites at the right price point, and been willing to invest in our take advantage of infrastructure on the ground. The pay per byte model is fraudulent, whether your connection is satellite or coax or fiber. Once that is embraced, networks stagnate. Because established satellite isps are universally scumbags, I'm very glad starlink is breaking them. They'll have to compete with an unmetered service model, or die out.
