Tens of thousands of people across the world reported issues with Starlink on Thursday, according to Downdetector.
What they're saying:
Starlink confirmed it was experiencing a network outage but said the issue was resolved.
"The network issue has been resolved, and Starlink service has been restored. We understand how important connectivity is and apologize for the disruption."
The outage was caused "due to failure of key internal software services that operate the core network," Starlinke said.
The backstory:
Starlink operates the world’s largest satellite constellation with over 6,750 satellites currently orbiting Earth to provide low-latency broadband, including to areas where internet previously has been completely unavailable.
