Starlink won't really ever be designed to compete with wired internet. There is limited bandwidth per satellite, and the density of most places that have good wired internet far exceeds what is reasonable on the current generation of satellites.

It's designed for people who are currently suffering on geostationary satellite internet, or some other low-bandwidth/high-latency setup.
