It is not as fast as fiber in either bandwidth or latency, and you would be delusional to think it would be. FttP (fiber to the premises) is much faster than anything Starlink puts out.

Starlink max throughput is 40-220 Mbps down / 8-25 Mbps up with 25-60ms latency per their documentation

Fiber has a higher maximum throughput (100 Gbps options, which is not the ceiling) and best case latency in the low micro-seconds. Starlink simply cannot compete on that front -- and nor is it trying to.

These are also numbers on their fixed options; they list latency at <99ms for mobile, which is much slower than cable.

You can see according to the FCC's 2021 Fixed Broadband report that latency is notably lower even for services like Frontier's DSL, which is ~11ms.

Expected latency of cable is 13-27ms, substantially lower than Starlink's range. Expected latency of fiber is 10-12ms.

Additionally, I had ~50 down and ~12 up in around 2012, and it was costing around $30/mo. Residential is $120/mo.

It's really cool tech, but bold claims are not even supported by their actual documentation.
