I hooked up my starlink mini and have 1.7 down and 1 mbps up on standby. No problem browsing this forum.

Is that different than a standard StarLink, and if so, how so? How much to start and how much a month is the service? Does it still connect if it's stormy outside?

I have it on my mother's rural home. Zero outages or issues in three years now. We bought the equipment and the service is about 60 dollars more per month than she was paying for slow, unreliable marginal service. It is fast and trouble free so far. I would reccomend it to anyone who is dissatisfied with their current service, and hands down better for rural homes.

Standby is $5 monthly.

Data transfer rate (also called bandwidth, throughput, or data rate) measures how much data can be transmitted over a connection in a given time period.

Starlink is in orbit. So if you're sending something to someone else it goes up from you, but down to them - this forum for example when you post. If you are receiving something it's down to your phone/pc, whatever. Up is always slower than down because of gravity. 
Up / Down goes back to Uploading (what you send) and Downloading (what you receive). That's because the internet and all of the ways to access it are simplex (one way at a time). Some radio "sets" are true duplex and can do both at the same time.
