I checked their site, and the standard residential plan doesn't list any speeds. What is the average down/up speeds one can expect from their standard service and this $299 equipment?

I don't recall the speeds, but I know three people who have stopped using it. The speeds were well within acceptable, but the connection would totally drop for a couple of minutes out of each hour.
If you are rural and don't have better options; it's a game changer. If you have other suitable options, you may be disappointed.
Good price, its also the same price on the starlink homepage currently.

They dont list speeds because it all depends on capacity of the low orbit satellite you connect to at the time, but depending if your on the residential standard fixed you can minimum get 25Mbps up to 100Mbps DL, 5-10Mbps upload or if your on the priority plan ( guaranteed amount of data in TB's at high speed before it drops to standard speeds) fixed 40-220Mbps DL and 8-25Mbps upload. All with a latency around 20-60ms which is awesome compared to traditional satellite and even some cellphone providers. The low end of the speed spectrum usually only happens when your on a crowded satellite and in most cases would expect well above that lower stated speed.
They have a technical page that lists everything I mentioned found here.

Keep in mind this is satellite and everyone's connection is based off their locations factors.
For me with Starlink I was able to reach 200-250 mbs with obstructions (trees) surrounding my house. That's a very big difference to the previous ISPs I had H.N. And V.Sat. (And I had both at the same time) they wouldn't even reach 50mbs.
Flash mounted the dish on the roof and gave it the best view to the sky facing North. During the Winter time I had better speeds vs all other seasons due to the lack of leaves on the trees. But regardless always had a great reliable connection. I used the Starlink router in bypass mode to my ASUS mesh router.
I've got no idea if this price constitutes a deal - looks like the regular price now, but if you're in a place where there are no ground based Internet alternatives, Starlink is fantastic. Head and shoulders above providers like HughesNet and ViaSat.

Lots of other authorized retailers will offer higher cashback than Home Depot , so I would suggest ordering there instead. (West Marine would be one of them)

Anyone have any idea if they'll drop the price on the Mini in the USA? For some regions, it's $199, but in the USA it's $599, so there must be some meat on the bone.
