Since around 3:30PM ET on Thursday, Starlink users have reported they can’t connect to SpaceX’s satellite internet service. The Starlink website first confirmed the issue with a banner message saying “Starlink is currently experiencing a service outage. Our team is investigating.”
On X, Starlink posted a more detailed message at 4:05PM ET, saying “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.” This isn’t the first widespread outage for the network, but they have been rare, and this appears to be the first one in 2025.
Users on X and Reddit from the US and countries across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia have said their connections are offline, with error messages saying there is “no healthy upstream.” The global connectivity trackers at NetBlocks report that overall connectivity is down to “16 percent of ordinary levels.”
Update, July 24th: Added information from the Ukrainian military and NetBlocks.
