I used Starlink for 2 months after the hurricanes last year. If it's the only broadband you can get, it's obviously better than dial up, but it isn't very good compared to any modern wire based services. The bandwidth rises and falls based on where the satellites are, and I had at least a few times per day where the service would cut out for a few seconds to a couple minutes. Again, based on how good your view of the sky is and where the satellites are. It might be absolutely perfect if you live on a hill in a desert, but living in real world most-of-America with hills and trees without a 100 ft tall tv antenna structure to mount the dish on, it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
