Spark Plug Resistance - Enough to Matter or BS?

What's the source of this map and what do the two colors represent?
You appear to be in the same shading that we are and lots of people here are on Starlink now.

Starlink maps.
One of their maps call it "low capacity". Another says the area is "wait list" - likely because of limited capacity (too many people on too few satellites - that's the way Hughesnet was - over-subscribed)
Since they call it low capacity and say "you have to wait if you live here", it sure sounds like speed and availability could be spotty or iffy.

Here is how they describe that low capacity area - notably slower speeds.............

This area is low capacity and wait list. That's why many people opted for the RV version, which ships right away.
People near me got it and they're ecstatic.

Slower speeds on Starlink are still markedly better than many terrestrial based services.
Keep in mind it's run by an evil genius with OCD and Asperger's who doesn't accept "good enough" on anything he does.

They have a ground station pretty close by.
