Gigabit for starlink?

I agree with your doubt. Especially with who is involved in the company....
  • It'll be much later than expected
  • Watered down, like gigabit peak or an expensive priority addon
  • They'll claim they're doing gigabit(s) globally to the base stations or some other metric rather than per user
If it even happens IMO. They've been saying gigabit since 2016. Whilst I totally agree it has its place in the market and for some people its a great solution, I have my doubts over the company, its management and their outspoken affiliations and what that means for how the company behaves.

I share your doubts and disdain for it's leadership. But right now, there doesn't seem to be much (any) competition. I think though, that Starlink is just a cover for STARSHIELD / SHIELD (military). The fact that civilians can use it is just a happy byproduct.

That's a lot of spectrum they are asking for and a phenomenal amount of satellites. The political campaigning of Mr Musk is starting to make more sense: approving that ensures no prospect of competition. Add that to protections for Tesla and that's the two major businesses taken care of by the US government.
 
This might be subject to all sorts of gov approvals so I won't be holding my breath that'll be quick. We'll most likely all be on glorious fttp before this happens. #famouslastwords

They're currently testing back in motherland with increased EPFD.
