Starlink’s Worldwide Glitch: Thousands of Users Hit the Wi‑Fi Pain
Late last night around 7 p.m., a massive outage hit the Starlink satellite network, leaving tens of thousands of customers with “no service” alerts on Downdetector. If you’ve been in the blink‑hole of “Connecting…,” you’re not alone.
Musk to the Rescue
- Elon Musk takes to X and promises the problem will be fixed, vows it won’t happen again.
- “Service will be restored shortly. Sorry for the outage. SpaceX will remedy root cause to ensure it doesn’t happen again,” he wrote.
Starlink’s Apology Post
- Starlink’s official X message: “The network issue has been resolved and Starlink service is back online.”
- “We understand how important connectivity is and apologize for the disruption.”
What Happens Next?
Starlink will investigate the root cause and implement a fix, just like a diligent software engineer debugging a stubborn server. Meanwhile, if you need to keep up the conversation, email isn’t your only option—outlined updates may come via your phone’s notification or the official app.
