On a side note (TX vs RX):

When people look at the "speed" of Internet connections, there's often a focus on "down" as opposed to "up".

For folk working from home using cloud storage for audio or video content that they edit, not having a lot of "up" is an issue.

Here's what to expect around our neck of the woods:

Now one of the interesting bits about Starlink is that its uplink performance is really not that great in comparison to downlink here in NZ - pretty much the worst of the current technologies:

This agrees with what I've seen here personally. ADSL in non-fibre areas generally now means "miles from the DSLAM", as does VDSL. DSLAM-side crosstalk tends to be the limiting factor there.

Non-fibre areas also generally mean "far from the base station". HFC is available in only a few select areas here as NZ does not have large cable networks.

Correct. It's a hardware limitation. A switch inside connects antenna
elements to transmitter or receiver chains.
Plus, each Dishy can do TX only in specified time slots. TX slots depend
on the allowed duty cycle and are defined by a global scheduler.
