Starlink has tested their stuff on fighter jets. They are already selling commercial service for airlines. So yeah, it'll work at the speed of a van. https:/

Actual recordings in motion of normal end-user terminal in motion. It works OK-ish. But a lot of packet loss (completely lost packets) and latency spikes (from retransmits). Of course, with ground hardware built for in-motion, you could do significantly better.

I'm guessing utilization is rather high with retransmits, etc-- which is probably a driving factor of Starlink prohibiting in-motion use in EULA. Note it's not really the speed that matters. It's suddenly having a much different bearing to the satellite because you have begun a turn or hit a dip in the road that matters.
