What kind of speeds has everyone been experiencing so far? We have had the 1st Generation Dishy up and running since February of 2021 here in Red Deer, Alberta. So far we have averaged around 80MBPS Download and 10MBPS Upload (with very little down time to boot). We have seen up to 300MBPS Download speeds and nearly 30MBPS Upload speeds in short bursts.

Hi y'all! Everyone on here seems to be in the USA but I thought you might be interested in my experience this side of the pond.
I have just installed a new Starlink rectangular receiver (is that what you are calling a "Dishy 2"?) in rural Norfolk in the United Kingdom (the top end of the Eastern bump at the bottom!) in a temporary position pending fixing to a roof-top location, probably a disused chimney. Until now we've been on a Vodafone 4G Gigacube contract that delivered about 40Mbps as well as wired broadband delivering less than 10Mbps. Starlink costs less overall and is better than both put together. Our Starlink delivered around 200Mbps between receiver and satellites within minutes of being
switched on, bit less on the test screenshot adjacent, and the standard router seems capable of reaching every part of our fairly large (brick) house with at least 25Mbps everywhere (no mesh, no extenders at present). Near the router the speeds to my iPhone 11 are unbelievable, sometimes topping 600Mbps, which presumably reflects the router caching stuff.
So I am pretty happy so far!
