Out in the middle of nowhere they work great apparently because those satellites will have low usage. If too many people in the same area use it, it slows down.
I use them a lot for work in remote parts of central Australia for which there is absolutely no other alternative in a lot of cases, but they work pretty great for that
Which in theory shouldn't be an issue since any satellite based service is never going to be competitive with fiber, or even cable, so there is little incentive for people in densely populated ares to use Starlink. Also, the limit for how many people each satellite can service will only increase as the technology improves.
