Spruiked as a "high-speed, low latency" internet service, the official Starlink website claims "[u]sers can expect to see download speeds between 100 Mb/s and 200 Mb/s and latency as low as 20ms in most locations." There are over 600,000 pre-orders for Starlink, though SpaceX will have to ramp up production to serve them all in a timely fashion. As of September, the company was only manufacturing 5,000 Starlink dishes per day. 

Fortunately Saturday's Starlink satellite launch went off without a hitch, even after it was initially delayed 24 hours due to unfavourable weather.
