Does Starlink prioritize traffic to speed tests?

I had a Starlink subscription for a month until I discovered really slow downloads at times when downloading apps from App Store. I did some speed tests and discovered that I would easily get 200 mbps from Speedtest, unless I chose one lesser known public speed test site in my country- then I got the truth, which was about 12 mbps.

I tested multiple times over days, same result. I finally unsubscribed and returned to fiber.

Anyone else experienced this?

I have the following network for a small camping site:

Internet > Dream Machine SE - Device Bridge (house) - Device Bridge (camping site) - wired U7 Outdoor and then two Mesh U7 Outdoor. Distance house - camping, about 150m.

The Device Bridge at the house suddenly becomes unavailable, and the only thing I can do to get it up is to do a hard disconnect/reconnect (can be done through unifi or physically). Before it becomes unavailable, the network speed drops down to 0,7 mbit down and 99 up.

I have configured the DB to 20 mhz, so I should get 150 mb or so. I have tried changing to 40 and 80 mhz width, but then the two devices lose contact and I have to reset to 20 mhz. The ISP speed from the DM SE is consistently 500/500.

The area is realatively undisturbed, I would think, as it is sparsely populated, but when I ran a survey, I picked up traces of 300 networks. So I am not alone.

When I had the issue with the really low download speed, I tried connecting my laptop directly to the cable used for a U7 lite and I got the same lousy speed via cable, so either there is something wrong with the device bridges, which I think since, I see

Here is the setup:

Oh and when I restart the Device Bridge, speed is back to about 100/100 wireless on the 80 mhz width u7 lite in the campsite's serivice building. Any idea why this happens and what I should do to make the network stable?
