I work remotely and routinely use Starlink for video calls while doing other
uploads/downloads. As do several others at my company. Some of us are in rural
areas, I'm in Southern California, but in a place that doesn't have fiber
available (predicted to arrive at my address sometime next year)
Starlink occasionally has hiccups, but not significantly more so than other
people's network connections.

I just did a bunch of videoconferences all morning without many glitches.
(2 hours, only one download glitch, not recording so I do not know how good
the up was) Admittedly, I was
using galene.org rather than zoom, but I did do a couple up and downloads
while talking and they seemed to work pretty well.
I ran a few tests afterwards, to observe my overall bandwidth up was way
up, and tcp congestion controls pretty smoothly adapting to physical
changes in RTT and bandwidth for a change. I sat there and admired the
T+120 smoothnesss in this transition, in particular.
Anyone else seeing progress in long term behaviors? I think in part it was
just galene doing better, or perhaps it was because my baseline bandwidth
stayed above galene´s base.
