Starlink seems to have serious limitations. Apart from potential congestion in your area (leading to limited bandwidth), as the satelites are not geostationary (and hence move) you need to have unobstructed view of a big portion of the sky. If you have trees relatively near you, it can become a problem and connection will be dropped every x of minutes.
Having said that, it's still an amazing technology. I hope they will be able to iron out these issues.

Others, like objects blocking the antenna's view of the sky are more inherent. Starlink is mostly not likely to be a great option for most people if they have decent terrestrial broadband options.
