  @MsMelChen the arab spring was possible because of facebook - we see iran shut down their internet. communication is how the populous rallies. it feels like starlink has the biggest opportunity to enable regime change

  @SawyerMerritt @Starlink @Delta Deltas slow on distribution and slow on tech adoption

  @SpaceX @Starlink Starlink is overpriced and overhyped. Better tech coming and will put this garbage to shame. You’ll look like a flip phone in today’s world

  @American_Advo @OrdhisP Likely using Elon's internet (American made) Getting access to Starlink at a subsidy because hes poor and comes to Twitter using his subsidized internet to complain.

  @jamesdouma @kenhicksjr We're still waiting for affordable high speed internet service. And don't mention Starlink. I said affordable.

  The $50 offer from Starlink is the Roam 50GB plan, priced at $50/month for 50GB of priority data, with unlimited slower speeds after the cap. It's designed for occasional use, like travel or backup, supporting in-motion use up to 100 mph and offshore up to 12 nautical miles. You can pause service with pro-rated charges. Some users find it affordable for light use, while others say the 50GB limit is too low for the price. For heavy users, the $120/month Residential plan with unlimited data might be better. Check Starlink's site for details.

  People here in Australia are rejecting Starlink because of its connection to Musk and Sri Lankans are embracing it. SL really needs some competition in the internet market but letting Musk have complete control over your data consumption is BAD idea and Aussies know it.

  Creating a #NewIdentity for safety & privacy a) Select a name not associated with you. b) Never operate from a location associated with you (cafe, Starlink). c) Leave your real cell phone at home. d) Remove the battery of your burner phone when not in use. e) Only turn it on at locations not associated with you. f) Never use your burner phone to call someone from real life. g) Never log in to accounts that cross your identity. h) Dissociate yourself from crypto associated with real life. i) Create multiple identities with different names and addresses. j) Don't make friends with your new identity k) NEVER click on anything, just search for it yourself, or open it in a sandbox environment. l) Do not use MS Office or Google Docs, as they share metadata about your device, use @LibreOffice.

  I regret to inform you that @Starlink is under selling and over delivering. It’s been a while since I’ve been this impressed with a product/service. BTW this is day one.

  Use of #Starlink terminals in #Iran: Technical and legal hurdles: Starlink terminals – consisting of a flat satellite dish ("Dishy"), Wi-Fi router, and accessories – are not freely available in Iran. Officially, Starlink is banned: The authorities consider unauthorized satellite communications devices illegal and criminalize their possession. Anyone caught faces serious charges, including espionage. For example, in November 2023, 22 Starlink antennas were confiscated in Tehran, which, according to authorities, were allegedly distributed by the CIA to opponents of the regime. Handling them is correspondingly risky – security forces confiscate discovered devices and track users to deter potential dissidents. Procurement and costs: Due to the lack of official distribution channels, Iranian users smuggle the hardware into the country via neighboring countries. An active black market has emerged, for example, via Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey, or the Gulf States. Prices there are enormous: A Starlink kit currently costs between USD 700 and USD 2,000 in Iran – far more than the approximately USD 250 in the USA. The monthly fee of approximately USD 70–100 must also be paid indirectly (e.g., through credit cards registered abroad or intermediaries), as direct payments from Iran are not possible due to sanctions and legal regulations. These high costs severely limit the user base. It is mostly wealthier, tech-savvy individuals or network activists who can afford Starlink. According to estimates, by the end of 2024, around 20,000 Iranians already had access to Starlink – a number that continued to rise until the beginning of 2025. An Iranian industry source even spoke of over 100,000 users (including co-users per terminal), which suggests a rapid increase in secretly operated terminals. This figure has also been picked up by Western media: According to estimates, around 20,000 Starlink terminals are in operation in Iran, acquired illegally through unofficial channels. Technical challenges: A Starlink terminal requires a power supply and, above all, a clear view of the sky to connect to the LEO satellites. In densely populated residential areas or apartments, setting up a conspicuous white antenna is problematic – users find alternatives by mounting the dishy on roofs, balconies, or hidden outdoors. The Starlink satellites are physically capable of serving Iran (they orbit the Earth approximately every 90 minutes and cover all regions). Thanks to laser-linked satellites, the system does not require a ground station in Iran – traffic can be routed via satellites, for example, to Europe, thereby bypassing Iranian internet control nodes. Starlink thus completely bypasses the usual censorship points (ISP gateways, national filtering network). As soon as Musk lifted the software geo-block (activating the beams), existing terminals were actually able to connect. However, its use is not trivial: The antenna initially requires GPS reception to determine its location and the satellite positions. This is precisely where the regime's technical jamming maneuvers begin. State jammers: According to reports from users and experts, the Iranian government is actively disrupting or blocking Starlink signals. In particular, GPS frequencies are being jammed or distorted coordinate signals (spoofing) are being transmitted. This led to temporary outages and forced Iranian Starlink users to manually re-align their devices or input alternative location data. Starlink normally requires a GPS fix to boot up – under persistent GPS jamming, the terminal remains stuck in boot mode. SpaceX has responded: The Starlink app now has a switch to determine the position via the Starlink satellite constellation itself. This method is slower, but a workaround for locally unreliable GPS. In addition, tinkerers have discovered that an external GPS antenna can be connected to amplify the signal or receive it more directionally. Such hardware modifications—e.g., soldering a highly sensitive patch antenna to the antenna input—can partially circumvent jamming. Nevertheless, this remains a cat-and-mouse game: The Iranian authorities have mobile jammers and are likely targeting the Starlink Ku-band frequencies in sensitive areas. However, they have not yet been able to completely block the service. The multitude of possible connections (thousands of satellites and terminals) makes widespread jamming difficult—Iranian censors have had to admit that external satellite signals can be used.

  Mounting Starlink mini through the reinforced fiberglass roof is the only thing I’m not looking forward to… but glad to finally be off-contract w/ Verizon for the terrible OEM 4G data hotspot system (WineGard). Constant trouble – and I have experience in networking engineering. Don’t know how most consumers deal with it 😬

  controversial or confused? (@controconfused) reported 27 minutes ago

  @OAFAAF2653121 @Starlink You realise starlink is for those who can't get standard connections or they're on the move and signal is sketchy, yeah? It's not competitive with the current ISPs if you can get FTTP/SOGEA/MOBILE offerings.

  @NikeR1_Ru I was recently banned on Tarkov for cheating, I have never and will never cheat I play on a hotspot with horrible internet, just upgraded to starlink for a better streaming experience for viewers since I just started streaming Tarkov. Please help I know it’s not ur job🙏🏻

  So apparently #starlink is in #iran but the receivers have to be smuggled in for one to use the service. I heard this earlier in #tousitv ..... What a country
