Technically, and this is purely semantics, coverage is the major downside to starlink. They are faster, though.

The coverage of satellites has an exponential factor of the distance of that satellite to earth. If you had the satellite further out then its signal could reach a wider area before being cut off by the curvature of the earth. However, as the distance increases, so does latency.
