Starlink is definitely faster than all but the most expensive GEO services (and those require specialized hardware)

Sorry, I was referring to the underlying tech and bands. The physics behind LEO doesn't automatically grant it the ability to be faster than GEO. It's faster because the sattelites are brand new not 10 years old.
