Elon Musk’s Starlink back online after brief service outage
Thousands of users in the US were affected by the outage
Elon Musk’s satellite internet service Starlink was back online for most users after a brief outage on Monday (Sep 15), according to tracking website Downdetector.com.
The number of U.S. users reporting issues fell below 1,000 as of 1:15 am in Eastern time (1.15 pm, Singapore time), down from a peak of more than 43,000, Downdetector said. The platform tracks outages by collating status reports from multiple sources.
Starlink’s website reported an outage early on Monday, without providing further details.
“Starlink is currently experiencing a service outage. Our team is investigating,” it said.
The message has since been removed.
Starlink, operated by Musk’s SpaceX, provides internet services via a constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites and is widely used in remote areas and conflict zones.
