"Fast enough" is a contentious point for many tech people. There are very few consumer use cases that demand super fast broadband. I think basically you can say that you need about 15Mbps per person with 10Mbps overhead/margin. But 50Mbps is basically "fast enough" for the average household (browsing and streaming), it just means that game downloads or OS updates will be slower than you might like. My experience is that 200Mbps is "more than enough for most" and above 500Mbps will barely be used in most normal applications, it just makes the internet /snappier/. Most websites and downloads don't actually support download at 1Gbps, well there's always all those ISO downloads... If you have a house full of nerds then super speed broadband has value, but most people aren't as nerdy as that. That being said, Starlink is showing how over hyped it really was. Sure, they still need to launch more satellites, but it's a continuous obligation on SpaceX to keep replacing the infrastructure. I respect the need for those in rural areas, but suburban/urban folks (who will be affected by congestion the most) need good/affordable fibre. Even many of the rural folks (the less extremely isolated ones) could be supported by good mobile broadband infrastructure.
