Starlink suffered a global outage overnight
- incomingpain 4y agoIf it's a global outage, is it over night?
- thesuperbigfrog 4y ago>> If it's a global outage, is it over night? Yes, but it is also during daylight hours. Hopefully they have "follow the sun" support so problems get fixed as soon as they appear.
- seanw444 4y agoIt's always night somewhere ;)
- thesuperbigfrog 4y ago"The outage began at 3AM ET which coincides with initial reports found on Twitter and Reddit. Starlink users from the US, New Zealand, Mexico, the UK, and beyond all reported outages. Access returned to most as of 7AM ET, although many are still reporting degraded throughput." I wonder if they will release a post-mortem about what caused the issue and what they will do to prevent future outages. If so, that would be great to show transparency and boost confidence with consumers.
- ed_voc 4y agoI doubt it. They don't even have a page to show outages and when I asked support if there was an outage it got ignored and deleted.
- londons_explore 4y agoIt's out of beta now, and is one of the most expensive internet connections available in much of its service region... So you'd really expect decent reliability and if not an outage report...
- late2part 4y agoHave you ridden in a Tesla? (I have 3). Reliability and outage reports are not hallmarks of the family of companies. Perhaps more so for SpaceX.
- vageli 4y ago> and is one of the most expensive internet connections available in much of its service region Which ISPs are you comparing them to? When compared to something like Hughesnet or Viasat, it appears Starlink is the cheaper option.
- smoldesu 4y agoNot even remotely close to the competitor's pricing. HughesNet would go out every-other-week, by comparison Starlink has been startlingly stable.
