From Starlink's website [starlink.com]:
I bought a Starlink prior to the storm. There were some challenges but I was able to setup my Starlink the day of the storm. Now that my internet is up and running, I'm not going back to other internet service providers no matter how fast they promise their speeds to be. Starlink seems to deliver 50-100mbs like other posts have stated. With the continuous blackouts we have in my area 50-100mbs of consistent internet is better than 0-1gbs of insistent internet any day
Residential: $120/Mo
Roam (RVs, nomads, campers): $150/Mo
Boats: $250/Mo
I couldn't find the info about speeds. Likely need to dig deeper https://www.starlink.co

GPS?
They'd probably find it weird your RV was always in the middle of a lake or ocean.
The most recent testing of both companies' satellites has shown a big speed edge to ASTS. By Starlink's own admission, they will begin as primarily an SMS service. ASTS should comfortably be able to deliver 60 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up initially. Once they scale up and launch the next version of their satellite (which has 100x the processing power of the current version) and get enough satellites for MIMO coverage, this could greatly increase.
Fair enough. I still can't imagine waiting years with Hughes net or some other terrible GEO source for my home internet. If my Dad wasn't getting subsidized poor people 5G for home I would be subsidizing this dish for him at this price lol.
My understanding though is the real issue for speed up/down is they will get about 8 mb per 5mhz of band. To get more than the 5 they have now they will need their carrier partners to give up spectrum and that's a tall order given how valuable those spectrum licenses are.
I certainly hope they are successful. I'm ridiculously happy that Starlink exists, but frankly not a Musk fan (anymore) and would love to see some real competition (Kuiper unfortunately looks like a joke and is so far behind it's confusing how a company the size of Amazon dropped the ball this badly).
You usually can as that is aimed at ocean users etc. If you are in the US I imagine you could just use the "RV" one for a boat and nobody would know (just can't use at high speed). There actually IS some real additional cost to servicing places so many miles out to sea/on big lakes because all the data starts need to go Boat>Sat>Laser link to X number of satellites>Ground station instead of Home>Sat>Ground station.
It's certainly a big profit center, but there are real reasons to separate it out.

Anything providing satellite the satellite coverage aligns its orbit with the area being covered. I doubt they have any satellites going over China. At least known to the public.
