If you go to the starlink map page you will see on the upper left the word availability. Right next to that word is a drop down arrow. That arrow opens up download speed, up load speed and latency.
Click on one of those then hover on an area on the map for the info.
If you live somewhere that Residential service isn't available because too many of your neighbors already have it, you can avoid the wait-list by ordering the Roam version. It's the exact same equipment as the Residential package.
Most customers currently get 100-200mbps. Very low latency that you can't get from HughesNet. All the limitations that any dish TV brings.
Ultimately, Starlink will always be relatively niche provider just because of how the network works and the limitations on bandwidth a single satellite has. In those niche cases it can give fast internet to most anywhere on the planet. With the v2 satellites and sat to sat interlink communication,, it can provide light speed communications entirely on its own network across the globe without reliance on any other network or country. This is the game changer part.
It seems like SpaceX is actively trying not to guarantee or promise anything until they are forced to. They are launching hundreds of satellites and actively updating those satellites year by year. I think they are experimenting and have no direct need of new (uninformed) customers to need to market to them. If you have a area of land with a good exposed area of the sky it sounds like a no-brainer to me. Most unhappy reports ive heard are of people getting "only" 100mbps.
