Elon Musk’s Starlink restores service after major outage hits over 40,000 users in US

Elon Musk’s satellite internet service Starlink has returned online after a short disruption that left tens of thousands of users in the United States and elsewhere without connectivity in the early hours of Monday, reported Reuters.

According to outage tracking platform Downdetector, reports of disruptions in the US surged past 43,000 before gradually subsiding to fewer than 1,000 by 1:15 a.m. ET (05:15 GMT). Starlink had briefly displayed a notice on its website acknowledging the outage and stating that engineers were investigating, but the message was later removed without further explanation.

The live outage map on Downdetector showed network disruptions across several major US cities, including Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Seattle, and Chicago.
