You’re just making shit up at this point so it’s not clear how to respond. I use Starlink in a city of 300k people in the mountains in the west and never see <50mbps download even during peak congestion.

The bandwidth is not split between upload and download, it’s very explicitly optimized for download capacity which is what most people are interested in. If you want to upload much beyond 15mbps, Starlink is going to suck for you regardless of congestion.

>There's very good reasons starlink has such low limits on terminals per cell.

High density areas are broken into smaller cells to help with this. don’t forget that the limit doesn’t apply to roaming users either.
