Starlink was experiencing a network outage, Elon Musk's SpaceX-owned satellite internet company said on Thursday, with Downdetector showing that the service was down for thousands of users.
"Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution," it said in a post on X.
There were 36,705 incidents of people reporting issues with the service as of 3.54 p.m. ET, according to Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources.
Musk also addressed the outage on X sometime later saying, “Service will be restored shortly. Sorry for the outage. SpaceX will remedy root cause to ensure it doesn’t happen again.”
