[Updated] Starlink internet down, not working, or disconnected? You're not alone

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on August 18, 2022) follows:

Starlink users in Los Angeles, Seattle, San Fransisco, New York, and a few other cities are reporting that the internet is down and not working or keeps getting disconnected.

The issue appears to have been going on for at least half an hour and service outage detectors such as Downdetector and Fing indicate that it is indeed a widespread outage.

We’ve shared some user reports for reference below:

@SpaceX Any info on why #Starlink is down or how long the problem might last? (Source)

At present, users appear to be getting a message saying their Starlink service is ‘Offline’. Some have even shared screenshots from the Starlink app showing the outages and the time they lasted in the past 12 hours.

This suggests that the company should be aware of the problem, however, there’s no public statement acknowledging the outage.

The most users can do currently is to wait for Starlink to address the problem as soon as possible.

We’ll keep tabs on the situation and will post an update if and when there are any further developments regarding the issue.
