[Starlink] On metrics

The problem is that these needs really are not that heavy. Among my ISP 
connections, I have a 8/1 dsl connection, even when I fail over to that, I can 
run my 4k tv + a couple other HD TVs + email (although it's at the ragged edge, 
trying to play 4k at 2x speed can hiccup, and zoom calls can stutter when large 
emails/downloads flow)

realistically, any router can handle this speed, the question is if it has 
fq_codel/cake to keep the bulk loads from interfering with the other work.

Even starlink roaming is higher performance than this :-)
