Anything below the current definition of FCC fundable rural broadband (100Mbps by 20Mbps) is slow.

This is why the FCC doesn't want to pay out the $886 million in rural connectivity funds to Starlink, they are already providing substandard connectivity, and could easily end up like Hugesnet or Viasat's overloaded networks.

That's not slow. What's slow is the 1.5mbit DSL that I was stuck with before. Starlink is a godsend for people with no options but shit DSL. Starlink would be a godsend for me even at 10mbits. And I know the same is true for millions of other people. Wireline providers have stalled here for the last 15 years.
