Like any internet service, Starlink isn’t immune to occasional disruptions. The SpaceX-owned satellite internet saw a brief outage Tuesday, according to a post from Starlink and users reporting issues on DownDetector. “Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution. We appreciate your patience, we’ll share an update once this issue is resolved,” Starlink wrote at approximately 10 p.m. ET Tuesday. Starlink did not share a reason for the outage in its post. About half an hour later, a follow-up post was shared notifying users that the issues had been resolved. Some, however, reported that their Starlink service did not resume at that time. Data from DownDetector shows that over 41,000 Starlink outage reports were made Tuesday night, with few ongoing into early Wednesday morning. 42% of reports said they experienced a “total blackout” of services, but a number of users reported their Starlink services operating again around 2 a.m. ET early Wednesday. Some users reported that restarting their Starlink hardware rebooted their connections.
