as title suggests, does anyone here have a starlink gen 3 residential option? (NOT LITE) how well does it perform? i've got very bad vdsl ethernet with perma 110+ upload latency hence the reason i wanna ask.

hello check how many ping would your location get first with https://starlink.com/map?view=latency
i tried it many times this year with 45 50 ping , it wasn't enough to play really competitive on cs2 , i had bad hit register just like with my fiber connection. But i'm playing on south african servers , maybe your place is more optimized. i've seen some videos on youtube where a brazilian plays with 25 ms and the hit reg is insanely good. Played with lite , real residential and even prioritized , didn't change anything to my hit registration and connection behavior. With lite on users peek of course you have more unstable connection.
I don't know if it's still on , but you had like a "free trial" , you could return your material and be refund if you weren't satisfied under 30 days so maybe you can try
