I have found some but not with low latency and high speed like Starlink, any suggestions?

Be wary of bot replies from accounts with no post history even after half a year. Both Amazon's and Starlink's LEO solutions are designed to be used by military and such, while the retail users are exploited to offset the price offered to states. From a cost and implementation perspective, eutelsat is a far more environmentally and security friendly and coverage is better than starlink past certain latitudes while being comparable towards the equator.

These type of oversized satellite constellations are destructive to astronomy and are a catastrophe waiting to happen. Also, they're US American so you can forget any idea of privacy or safety in your communications unless you use dutelsat based solutions.

PS: Eutelsat's latency is close to 70-80ms, I suspect that made up 300ms figure is related to a single handover event.
