I did download of a film using torrent via StarLink once for performance test. I saw up to 5 Mbytes per second in torrent client, which is impressive speed to have in woods. Sadly, StarLink is not suitable for audio or video calls yet, because of frequent pauses.
I admittedly am not using StarLink full time yet (my time is currently split between a city and a farm about 60 miles away), I have had virtually no issues with voice-only or video calls. I did a two-week stretch out here a month ago, and none of my teammates had any kinds of complaints about my video feed either.
Yesterday was the very first time I have seen any issues at all; during a pretty ugly freak wind/snow storm things did get a little spotty off and on for an hour, but remained flawless throughout the rest of it.
Could be a regional thing too I suppose? I'm around 51N 111W and generally speaking it seems like I have really good coverage and maybe a relatively empty cell?

I use starlink full time for a remote job, and make frequent WiFi calling, facetime, meet, teams, slack huddle, and other calls. No issues.

You may want to check your modems webpage for obstruction warnings, you shouldn't be seeing frequent pauses if it has clear line of sight.
