SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service is experiencing an outage. Reports of connectivity issues started around 3:20PM ET, based on DownDetector. SpaceX didn’t acknowledged the outage until 4:05PM ET, via a post on the Starlink X account. As of 5:30PM ET, the service is still down.
The outage appears to be global. Users across the US, Europe, the UK and Asia have all reported issues on r/starlink, the service’s Reddit page, and SpaceX has even acknowledged the outage on Starlink’s website. The number of people potentially impacted could number in the millions — as of the last network update, there’s over six million active Starlink customers globally.
“Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution,” SpaceX shared in an X post. “We appreciate your patience, we’ll share an update once this issue is resolved.”

Starlink is designed to be accessible where traditional service providers can’t reach, making it a common option for van lifers and anyone living without traditional internet infrastructure. SpaceX has also partnered with companies like T-Mobile to use Starlink to extend smartphone connectivity outside the bounds of traditional cell networks. It’s not clear how T-Mobile’s Starlink service has been impacted as by the outage.
