Elon Musk's Starlink recovery service after major interruption has more than 40,000 users in the US

Elon Musk’s Starlink has restored services after it went short on Monday, leaving more than 43,000 US users and Ukraine’s front line without internet. Elon Musk’s satellite internet service Starlink returned online to a short disruption that left tens of thousands of users in the United States and elsewhere without connectivity in the early hours of Monday, Reuters reports. Elon Musk’s satellite internet service Starlink returned online to a short disruption that left tens of thousands of users in the United States and elsewhere without connectivity in the early hours of Monday, Reuters reports. More than 43,000 reports of disruption in the US according to the interruption tracking platform Downdetector have risen reports of disruptions in the US over the past 43,000 before gradually subsiding at 1:15 p.m. (05:15 GMT) to less than 1,000. Starlink briefly showed a notice on his website acknowledging the interruption and said that engineers are investigating, but the message was later removed without further explanation. The direct interruption card on DownDetector showed network outages in several major US cities, including Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Seattle and Chicago. Ukraine confirms the disruption of the battlefield in Ukraine, where the service became critical to military communications and drone operations, officials confirmed that the disruption was also felt along the front line of the war with Russia. Robert Brovdi, commander of the Ukraine’s drone powers, described the incident as a ‘global interruption at SpaceX’, pointing out that connectivity was detected about 30 minutes after the failure was spotted at 07:28 local time (04:28 GMT). Ukraine currently operates more than 50,000 Starlink terminal, provided by SpaceX, which has become essential for safe communication in battle zones and in remote areas where conventional infrastructure is unreliable or destroyed. No official cause has revealed that Starlink, operating by Musk’s private space firm SpaceX, relies on a growing network of low-earth orbit satellites to produce a high speed worldwide. Although interruptions are relatively rare, the scope of service disruption raised questions about the resilience of the system, which increasingly relies on both civil and military institutions. SpaceX has not issued a detailed statement explaining the cause of the interruption. Netizens were fast enough to express their frustration with X over the Starlink failure. Some shared their disappointment, but others marked Musk directly and urged him to address the issue. (With input of Reuters)
