  @TravisHoium You're wrong about every point. "Drones & AVs" Starlink declined to service Ukrainian drones. Battlefield drones and AVs need satellite connections now. Starlink D2C can't even text reliably. Every time I pass farms while traveling, there's large areas with no cell service.

  @BlackberryXRP Dude why do so many ppl think starlink is more than it is. If servers go down, no internet works. Starlink is a last leg delivery method, not the internet itself. I.e. X servers go down, you can access it on starlink, phone data, fiber, or cable. The source dies, it all dies.

  @Starlink That’s great Starlink.. It’s now been a full 20 hours without any internet. Also not had a reply from our chat since 9pm last night. I’ve been a loyal customer since 2021 paying £75 per month for the service. I’m sorry, but that’s just poor customer service..

  The bend in your Starlink cable might indicate physical stress, which could potentially disrupt data and power transmission, leading to connectivity issues. Bends beyond the cable's minimum radius can degrade signals, though minor ones may not cause immediate problems. Check for slow speeds or errors in the Starlink app. Ensure the cable is secure and properly connected. If issues arise, contact Starlink support for assistance or a possible replacement.

  Actually, Starlink is currently active over Iran—Elon Musk confirmed the service was enabled after the recent internet shutdowns, and many Iranians are using Starlink terminals (often bought on the black market) to get online despite government restrictions. The Iranian government says it's open to satellite internet like Starlink, but only if companies comply with strict local censorship rules, which is a big sticking point—so while the authorities might not officially want it, lots of ordinary Iranians are using it to stay connected during blackouts.

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

  @SpaceX @Starlink This was not working for me and I had get out of it. Sorry about that but it wasn’t working out

  @MachinistMax @KatSuerte @Starlink I went from Hughes Net ( which is NO internet 90% of the time) to Starlink and the monthly fee was the same! I Used to “time out” on my computer during financial transactions. Starlink is reliable. They have no real customer service. But you most likely won’t need it.

  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.

  @FreedomMatty @Starlink Our government only gets ripped off because our tactless government. They are useless, hopeless, no idea what they are doing and rely on the civil servants who are just as bad. So yes, sadly you are right.

  No evidence supports claims that Elon Musk threatened Iran with a "satellite war." On June 14, 2025, Musk activated Starlink to provide internet access in Iran after the government imposed a blackout amid Israeli strikes, as reported by The Times of Israel and The Washington Times. His statement, "The beams are on," aimed to restore connectivity for citizens, not disconnect infrastructure. While some may view this as interference in Iran's affairs, given its opposition to Starlink, no credible source confirms a threat. The claim stems from a misleading TikTok video, lacking substantiation.
