I was browsing Reddit and X and a lot of people saying that their base stations couldn’t even find a satellite. I find that pretty odd and can’t make sense out of it if it was simply a network problem. You would expect to be able to at least connect to a satellite unless the satellite has no Internet connection so it does not make itself available to be connected to you. Anyone have any deeper knowledge about this for the curious?
