I live in a pretty rural area in italy, and starlink is by far the best ISP I've tried. I get consistently 300Mbit+ down and 30Mbit+ up, ping is about the same as copper wires (20-30ms ish to geographically close places).
It works basically all the time, the only times it stops working is when there is a lot of raining, but even this is manageable especially compared to when "traditional" ISPs have their issues which last for days.
Sometimes you see a small packet dropped here and there, but again, compared to traditional ISPs this is fine.
I wouldn't recommend it if you have fiber, because naturally you can get higher speeds and lower pings, but not all places have fiber yet, especially in italy.
I've been using it consistently for the last 2 years; according to the website I ordered the dish on march 18th, but it probably arrived early April if I remember correctly.
If you have any specific questions feel free to ask!
