During beta, users can expect to see data speeds vary from 50Mb/s to 150Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms in most locations over the next several months as we enhance the Starlink system. There will also be brief periods of no connectivity at all.
As we launch more satellites, install more ground stations and improve our networking software, data speed, latency and uptime will improve dramatically. For latency, we expect to achieve 16ms to 19ms by summer 2021.

If you use real data instead of the junk the recent FCC was putting out, something like half of americans don't have real broadband access.
Fastest I can get at my house is 8 Mb DSL, no matter how much I'm willing to pay.
And I only get that without a data cap by paying business rates.
I'd happily pay double what Starlink is asking just to get half the average speed users of starlink in the beta are receiving.
Even that would be 5x faster than what I have now.
If I got average starlink beta speeds it'd be a 10x improvement.
And the targeted final speeds would be a roughly 120x improvement over the best I can get now.

This isn't necessarily a deal compared to typical broadband in population centers, but it's the cheapest you are going to get broadband internet in the country. Given that it's the only broadband internet you can realistically get out there.
