  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

  @churfin @Starlink I hot spot my phone to my laptop. I don’t think I will need a dedicated home service. My cellphone is my dedicated internet platform.

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

  @churfin @Starlink They lack in good customer service and support. However, the service itself is great.

  As of January 2025, Yemen's internet penetration rate was approximately 17.7%, with about 7.29 million users out of a 41.2 million population. Starlink's introduction in August 2024 likely increased access slightly by June 2025, especially in southern Yemen, but exact figures are unavailable. Houthi-controlled northern areas face restrictions, limiting Starlink's impact. Ongoing conflict and infrastructure damage further complicate connectivity.

  I don't think so, my friend. We need local carrier to transmit. Phones that connects to Low Orbit are special phones. They are bulky because they handle high power. If local carriers don't receive,reduce and retransmit - it ain't possible. Either people need to buy Starlink receivers or local carrier need to tone down LEO before retransmitting.

  I'm curious, who is Elon? I also noticed the term "fanboy" in the post and I'm not sure what it means. From my experience, though, I flew on a plane with Starlink Wi-Fi, and the internet felt just as fast and reliable as it does on the ground, something I’ve never experienced with other in-flight Wi-Fi options. I’m not sure about the data control aspect; I’ll have to look that up. Still, as a passenger, I’d definitely choose an airline with Starlink over one without it if both were available.

  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.

  What is happening with Starlink the MbPS has gone to 50 and the service is intermittent near SF anyone else having to unplug their router several times a day

  @PeterRHann1 Hmmm... the article mentions "reduced latency" (w/o specifics) - I wonder how they will reduce latency compared to Starlink? Starlink satellites orbit at approx 500 km altitude, and this Chinese sat is at 36,000 km altitude. A significant difference in signal travel distance!

  @Rich_In_Christ_ @Airtel_Ug Highly unlikely; Airtel could never match the frequency with which Starlink operates😌

  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.
