Update 8/18: Recent reports indicate that the service issues with Starlink have been resolved.

Originally, Starlink, the satellite internet service provided by Elon Musk, was experiencing significant outages. This service is known for delivering high-speed internet to people in rural and remote areas. Users had largely been satisfied despite some usual drawbacks present in satellite-based internet services compared to fiber connections. However, service disruptions can still occur.

As of late last month, Starlink had temporarily gone down but quickly resumed service. Yet, yet again, on August 18, users began experiencing connectivity issues, with thousands reporting troubles on platforms like Down Detector. The company’s official Twitter account has not commented on the situation, causing uncertainty over the extent of the outage.
