The FCC used aggregate performance across the network, which arguably isn't accurate at depicting the performance in the most remote cells. Starlink is unusual here in the degree to which their service performs better in more remote areas; for most providers, it's the reverse. So they may well be meeting their performance commitments in the most remote areas, but severe congestion in areas that have other service options is hurting their averages. I'm not sure what the right call is here. It's very difficult to make an apples-to-apples comparison between vastly different technologies; this isn't Starlink exclusive, but will probably apply to the other LEO constellations whenever they come online in strength.
