Not 100% certain but the low orbits should help a LOT. I think heavy storms may impact speed a bit but FM radio works in storms with nary a hiccup. DTV sats are about 22,000 miles up. Musk’s toys are only about 350 miles up.

Lo orbits are still way above storms. Rain will suck.

The ability to see 4 or 5 LEO satellites at any given time will also provide an advantage over one satellite at GEO.
