What I mean is, will people like me, who have a conventional internet provider, be able to get internet via starlink, if everything else is shut down? (certainly if there is no power, it won't :) )
starlink could still be used to ping information back & forth if the old infrastructure was to fail. Does that answer your question? (correct me if im wrong)
I don't believe Starlink is quite there yet, but it is getting close. Satellites are only one part of the equation. You still need ground level servers at present in order for the network to function. True autonomous Starlink operation will require that these servers be placed into orbit alongside the array of satellites.
It is possible that such servers already exist, and that Elon's Starship launches have been guises for the launch of heavier equipment to complete the Starlink array.
As far as how our local devices will interface with this network, that I don't know. Perhaps Starlink's signal is powerful enough to broadcast to our local devices without a base station. At present, a dish is still required for use of the network. There might be some advanced tech that Elon and the White Hats have though that will circumvent this requirement.
President Trump often discusses a quantum leap in our standard of living. Communications is a big part of that leap. I believe there are many aspects of Starlink and Space Force that are kept under wraps in this 5th Gen War.
I believe this is what the 2.0 sats will do. Then only have <150 V2 mini satellites now in Earth's orbit but the FCC has approved up to 7500. We're going to see SpaceX just launch and launch and launch
I think Starlink would have to be all good to go already. But keeping it hidden "appear weak when you are strong". To be that much of a saving grace. It would have to been proven to work.

I think Starlink is making the next leap with Direct to Cell Service:
