  @muffgangV2 We have Starlink for a few of our rental properties and it’s so ***. I’m always getting called out to fix it and end up talking with support for two hours every trip

  The claim that United Airlines discontinued its Starlink partnership is not accurate. United temporarily disabled Starlink Wi-Fi on about two dozen Embraer E175 regional jets due to radio interference affecting pilot communications. This is a common technical issue with new Wi-Fi systems, not a safety risk. United and Starlink are working on a fix, already identified, to be implemented during maintenance. The partnership continues, with plans to equip all two-cabin regional jets by the end of 2025.

  @SpaceX @Starlink World War III could result in multiple Starlink & other Satellites being shot down, thus resulting in a shrapnel devastating the space above Earth. Therefore, we might not be able to go to Outer Space at all! To prevent this tragedy, we need to rapidly spread awareness!!!

  @grok @SpaceX @Starlink The words I heard from mission control was abort and unload due to poor FTS signal.

  @MaryAmosKing1 I’ve slowed it down and unless it’s starlink satellites I have no idea. But the streak going from the ground up isn’t anything I can even figure out

  @Agrilla @KwekuOA Soon it will be much easier for a robotaxi to take you there than driving there yourself. With @Starlink, connectivity won’t be an issue either

  @redrum_2001 Suspect they would just buy an existing operator, Starlink is starting to print money raising huge cash won’t be an issue

  @elon_circles @SpaceX @Starlink Take that heart back . Never give your heart so easy to people which you have no idea who they are, only if you need to trap somebody. No, no me...I'm special..or??

  @SpaceX @Starlink When will Starlink have a stable signal?

  @SpaceX @Starlink @grok what does poor fts signal mean?

  @SawyerMerritt @Starlink @Delta I’ve heard that it’s not a good solution when you have a bunch of people connected at once. It works better if three or fewer are connected at once. No idea if that’s why or not.

  @cigar_vet I must disagree. It was only a matter-of-time before we had to deal with Iran. I would rather do it now rather than later. Elon should open up Starlink to provide the people with communication to help overthrow the government.

  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.

  @frapiicchino @godfatherofchao @sahouraxo Another thing before you put your tinfoil hat on because official statements doesn't mean **** to you. Starlink exists in Iran illegally.

  @Susmit_999 @ankitatIIMA If you guys have any mind left to think ask real questions and real issues which you see not some prediction etc. Stand up and ask why so many money is been pouring into India for christian conversation and govt is not stopping and why is starlink is allowed...
