Are the Starlink satellites good for work purposes? Databases and Zoom calls, fast as lightning response time?

Hughes net takes for ever just downloading YouTube videos and other hi definition content.

From the interwebs:

“While Starlink’s downloads can be fast, its upload speeds are much slower than LCWA, usually well less than 10Mbps. That can affect Zoom video sessions where you are streaming the video up to others. Or if you upload big work files it will feel very slow.”

Anything other than dial-up is better than sattelite aka Hughe$net.

I don’t know enough to weight the cost/benefit against infrared or cable.
