I'm moving into a 3rd floor flat where the only available WiFi options are from three companies: TalkTalk, Sky, and Virgin. Their speeds are between 30-67 Mbps, but I've had issues with them in the past. I used to have better service with BT, but they don't cover this address. Are there any off-brand companies or alternatives, like Starlink, that could offer me higher speeds, or am I out of luck?

Do you have any access to a balcony or roof? Having that could help with getting better signals for your WiFi, especially if you're looking into alternative providers.
Have you checked the cellular speeds at your location? You might consider using a MiFi router or tethering your mobile to other devices as a backup. Sometimes, that can be more reliable than traditional WiFi.
The cellular speed is only about 20 Mbps, unfortunately. I'm worried that I might be stuck with slow internet options. I've heard about WiFi speed boosters; do they really help improve speeds at all, or just coverage?
No, I don't have access to either. It's just the flat, unfortunately, so I'm pretty limited.
