starlink outage

Starlink has experienced some outages recently, including a notable brief network outage in parts of the U.S. in August 2025. This incident was the second outage within a fortnight. The previous one in late July was caused by a failure of internal software integral to Starlink's network operations. Another disruption was linked to a faulty firmware update that propagated through the satellite constellation, causing phased service interruptions and gradual restorations. Users have reported service down times of varying lengths across different locations globally, but SpaceX has not publicly detailed all outages or statistics. The company is actively launching new satellites to improve the network, suggesting ongoing efforts to enhance reliability and capacity.
