I'm on the basic plan and usually see about 75mbps. It can drop to 20 or so during peak netflix hours. But that's still plenty fast enough for multiple HD video

If you can get a fast wired connection, do it. Starlink is for people who can't, and it's far and away the best option for them.
- Alupis 2y agoWhat kind of wired connection did you have previously? The target audience for Starlink in the continental US seems to be people who's other options are traditional satellite, dial-up, or sometimes DSL (typically implying you're in a more rural area, but not always). For people in those situations, Starlink can be a good alternative. However, if you have access to modern cable or FTTH... well, it's not a substitute.
