  Currently, Iranians cannot access Starlink with just cell phones, as the Direct to Cell service, which allows this, isn't available in Iran. Accessing Starlink requires a dish and router, which are smuggled into the country at high costs and legal risks. Elon Musk's promise to activate Starlink helps some, with over 100,000 users bypassing censorship, but without equipment, it's not widely helpful. The government blocks official access, and Direct to Cell's future in Iran is uncertain. Thus, the promise is limited by practical barriers for most Iranians.

  @SawyerMerritt @Starlink @Delta I’ve heard that it’s not a good solution when you have a bunch of people connected at once. It works better if three or fewer are connected at once. No idea if that’s why or not.

  Use of #Starlink terminals in #Iran: Technical and legal hurdles: Starlink terminals – consisting of a flat satellite dish ("Dishy"), Wi-Fi router, and accessories – are not freely available in Iran. Officially, Starlink is banned: The authorities consider unauthorized satellite communications devices illegal and criminalize their possession. Anyone caught faces serious charges, including espionage. For example, in November 2023, 22 Starlink antennas were confiscated in Tehran, which, according to authorities, were allegedly distributed by the CIA to opponents of the regime. Handling them is correspondingly risky – security forces confiscate discovered devices and track users to deter potential dissidents. Procurement and costs: Due to the lack of official distribution channels, Iranian users smuggle the hardware into the country via neighboring countries. An active black market has emerged, for example, via Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey, or the Gulf States. Prices there are enormous: A Starlink kit currently costs between USD 700 and USD 2,000 in Iran – far more than the approximately USD 250 in the USA. The monthly fee of approximately USD 70–100 must also be paid indirectly (e.g., through credit cards registered abroad or intermediaries), as direct payments from Iran are not possible due to sanctions and legal regulations. These high costs severely limit the user base. It is mostly wealthier, tech-savvy individuals or network activists who can afford Starlink. According to estimates, by the end of 2024, around 20,000 Iranians already had access to Starlink – a number that continued to rise until the beginning of 2025. An Iranian industry source even spoke of over 100,000 users (including co-users per terminal), which suggests a rapid increase in secretly operated terminals. This figure has also been picked up by Western media: According to estimates, around 20,000 Starlink terminals are in operation in Iran, acquired illegally through unofficial channels. Technical challenges: A Starlink terminal requires a power supply and, above all, a clear view of the sky to connect to the LEO satellites. In densely populated residential areas or apartments, setting up a conspicuous white antenna is problematic – users find alternatives by mounting the dishy on roofs, balconies, or hidden outdoors. The Starlink satellites are physically capable of serving Iran (they orbit the Earth approximately every 90 minutes and cover all regions). Thanks to laser-linked satellites, the system does not require a ground station in Iran – traffic can be routed via satellites, for example, to Europe, thereby bypassing Iranian internet control nodes. Starlink thus completely bypasses the usual censorship points (ISP gateways, national filtering network). As soon as Musk lifted the software geo-block (activating the beams), existing terminals were actually able to connect. However, its use is not trivial: The antenna initially requires GPS reception to determine its location and the satellite positions. This is precisely where the regime's technical jamming maneuvers begin. State jammers: According to reports from users and experts, the Iranian government is actively disrupting or blocking Starlink signals. In particular, GPS frequencies are being jammed or distorted coordinate signals (spoofing) are being transmitted. This led to temporary outages and forced Iranian Starlink users to manually re-align their devices or input alternative location data. Starlink normally requires a GPS fix to boot up – under persistent GPS jamming, the terminal remains stuck in boot mode. SpaceX has responded: The Starlink app now has a switch to determine the position via the Starlink satellite constellation itself. This method is slower, but a workaround for locally unreliable GPS. In addition, tinkerers have discovered that an external GPS antenna can be connected to amplify the signal or receive it more directionally. Such hardware modifications—e.g., soldering a highly sensitive patch antenna to the antenna input—can partially circumvent jamming. Nevertheless, this remains a cat-and-mouse game: The Iranian authorities have mobile jammers and are likely targeting the Starlink Ku-band frequencies in sensitive areas. However, they have not yet been able to completely block the service. The multitude of possible connections (thousands of satellites and terminals) makes widespread jamming difficult—Iranian censors have had to admit that external satellite signals can be used.

  @Starlink has the power to change the middle east right now. we saw during the arab spring, social media companies like facebook enabled the uprising. iran shut down their internet out of fear of this repetition - turning it back on would be the regime’s final death blow.

  I personally decided on StarLink for my residential Internet Service, because within the next year or so - I plan on leaving Land and Cruising on a Live-Aboard Full Time, and I figure the StarLink would work well in the transition from Land to Sea... Now if I could just get an installer to respond to get my residential system up and running.

  I'm curious, who is Elon? I also noticed the term "fanboy" in the post and I'm not sure what it means. From my experience, though, I flew on a plane with Starlink Wi-Fi, and the internet felt just as fast and reliable as it does on the ground, something I’ve never experienced with other in-flight Wi-Fi options. I’m not sure about the data control aspect; I’ll have to look that up. Still, as a passenger, I’d definitely choose an airline with Starlink over one without it if both were available.

  🔴UPDATE: SpaceX's launch of Starlink 10-23 was scrubbed today due to a last-minute abort, triggered by a poor FTS (Flight Termination System) signal, as stated by the launch director. The next available window opens at 1:25 a.m. EDT on June 23, pending confirmation from SpaceX.

  Starlink is active in Iran, providing internet access to some citizens during the ongoing conflict with Israel, as confirmed by reports from June 14, 2025. Despite government-imposed internet shutdowns since June 18, affecting most of the population, over 100,000 Iranians use Starlink to bypass restrictions. However, high costs limit its accessibility, meaning not all citizens benefit. Your reported clear calls with Iranians align with Starlink's limited but functional service.

  Crypto works well until internet service is disrupted or Starlink and other Satellite providers are ordered to disconnect service in certain areas through geofencing. What use is crypto then? I'm a strong crypto supporter, but with everything happening in the world and concerns about internet communication disruptions, many people are worried, and it's reflecting in the markets.

  @YordieSands @SpaceX @Starlink Could have had. The launch director cited "a poor FTS signal," a likely reference to the rocket's flight termination system. "We will be offloading and then proceeding into an investigation,"

  Over 36,000 tracked objects and millions of untracked fragments clog low-Earth orbit, with SpaceX’s 6,000+ Starlink satellites adding to the mess. A Kessler Syndrome cascade could lock humanity out of space for decades, a problem Musk’s constellation exacerbates but his engineering mindset would aim to solve with laser-equipped cleanup sats.

  Starlink is great. When Florida got hit by a hurricane many lost cable internet and also fiber internet for days and days, but people like me didn't because I have Starlink. - I put the cable in a protective plastic protector, then buried it 2-3 inches. - However when a hurricane was coming I unburied the cable and brought it inside my garage to protect the Starlink dish during the storm. - There is plenty of extra cable to do so. - As soon as the wind died died down I brought it back out and had my high speed internet back up within about 10 minutes.

  @PeterRHann1 Hmmm... the article mentions "reduced latency" (w/o specifics) - I wonder how they will reduce latency compared to Starlink? Starlink satellites orbit at approx 500 km altitude, and this Chinese sat is at 36,000 km altitude. A significant difference in signal travel distance!

  Actually, Starlink is currently active over Iran—Elon Musk confirmed the service was enabled after the recent internet shutdowns, and many Iranians are using Starlink terminals (often bought on the black market) to get online despite government restrictions. The Iranian government says it's open to satellite internet like Starlink, but only if companies comply with strict local censorship rules, which is a big sticking point—so while the authorities might not officially want it, lots of ordinary Iranians are using it to stay connected during blackouts.
