  @FELibrary_ More lies. it uses both. WTF do people think Starlink, HughesNet and ViaSat are? And those are US based...

  @bennyjohnson You don’t think Elon has it? Starlink & Spaceforce isn’t up there just to give us better internet service.

  @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

  @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??

  Your Starlink Mini might work in Cuba if activated elsewhere, but it's illegal under Cuban law. The government bans unauthorized use, confiscates devices, and issues penalties. Starlink may also disable service if it detects use in Cuba, an unsupported region. Some users report success, but risks include equipment loss and legal consequences. Given these challenges, using Starlink Mini in Cuba is not recommended.

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

  @charlieartz13 @UshaVanceNews @EMusk76083 Appreciate the love and I hear you on Starlink phone service. We’re working on something that might surprise you. I sent you a message here regarding this, check it out, will be waiting for your response.

  @MilMileBattery @Starlink @Tesla Chill out Ryan. Starlink does NOT work well in downtown urban areas like Austin. The high rise buildings block the Satellites. I have Starlink in my Plaid and I run into issues in downtown Austin.

  @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..

  If this continues, I will cancel my blue checkmark, next time close my account, third time cancel my Starlink subscription. Don’t **** with me E.

  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.

  @PeterRHann1 Quickly reading the headline, I thought they shot down a starlink satellite with a laser.

  @BrianRoemmele @EricJorgenson Plenty of space address bots much better. The tech is out there. Even more serious abuses of tech are allowed without easy counter. Pirates use starlink on fast boats in conflict areas. They could easy geo locate water and acceleration and kick a user for 5min. Easy fix, not done
