I'm a Starlink beta tester.
It's brilliant and flawless. And it took me out of 25 years of shitty satellite "broadband". I really disliked Elon Musk until this. They clearly engineered Starlink very thoroughly.

How does the power consumption compare? In comparison to normal broadband its terrible.

I don't know.
It uses a typical router, which is hiding behind my desk, but can't be too much of a power hog. In snow, the dish has a heating element which is probably the culprit behind any complaints. I couldn't be happier, as I give the big satellite isp's my middle finger.
