So its presented in a confusing way but as I understand it, the starlink service "speed" in km/h is the speed at which a vehicle in the ground is moving and able to receive a high speed connection from the satellite network.

By capping it at 100km/h or 62 mph in the EU, Elon Musk is deliberately restricting it to basic civilian uses.

Ukraine is using starlink to control drone interceptors, which move much faster and were automatically being disconnected by starlink once they went above 100km/h

So I think Elon Musk and Donald Trump are traitors to the west and siding with Vladimir Putin in his invasion of a European Country. We must never forget what these people do - they are no friends of Europe or Europeans.
