I use Starlink here, and while you do need fairly clear view of the sky for it to work best - which we have - it is fast and has so far been exceptionally reliable and stable.
Had it now for going on 2 years. Total downtime in that period is less than 60 minutes all up. Yes, total over 2 years.

Interesting. Where I was looking the issue was always mature trees, even for houses with a couple of acres. I would have been constantly thrown off my work systems. I don't think it would have been as much of an issue for streaming, for example.
For ScotRail, it can't be any worse than they have and I am sure it will be a massive improvement for the rural lines, all joking aside.
I'm not sure where you are based, but another issue that might face Scottish customers is the weather. How is it when it's is thick cloud and torrential rain?

Other side of the world. Tasmania.
Not quite Scotland conditions, but I’ve not noticed service degradation in what bad weather we have had. The dish has a heating option for areas with snow or ice but we rarely even get frost so I’ve disabled that.
