It is going to be very compressed video and audio and browsing will be akin to dial-up. Game changer none the less
How do you know this?

Ah nice. Well a single 1080p steam on Netflix consumes about 4Mbps. VoIP calls about 1.7Mbps.
It'll do but yeah it's not great. It's definitely enough for surfing the net.
I wonder how big these "cell zones" are.
Produce could make a difference here too. I frequently travel so having one plan that works everywhere would be awesome. Hopefully the price is right. Starlink internet itself is pricey.
Weather conditions will probably heavily impact what speeds you will get, and you can't use this indoors or in vehicle. But if you break your leg while hiking you can get help, that is the point of this, not to stream netflix
