When the entire constellation of Starlink satellites is deployed the aggregate bandwidth of all of them will be less than a handful of fiber optic cables.

Starlink is not designed to compete with fiber or copper in areas where you have a high density of internet users over a significant area.

It is for less dense areas, or those few people in areas otherwise well served by fiber or copper that have a house that ended up in a gap between infrastructure build outs.
