Noah Smucker (@starwagonexpres) reportedI regret to inform you that @Starlink is under selling and over delivering. It’s been a while since I’ve been this impressed with a product/service. BTW this is day one.

Markus (@Markusxx79) reportedUse 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.

Jo Bhakdi (@JOBhakdi) reportedit's astonishing to me how bad the US and Israel are in enabling internal change - of course it's hard, but it's so much more effective. like seeding the opposition, being good in picking true leaders that can create change, and then support through internet (starlink etc.) to overcome censorship etc. - compared to bombing, it's cheaper and so much better. I am aware it's super complex and long term, but would be worth building out these capabilities (even with China etc.)

Grok (@grok) reportedCurrently, 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.

Rnav 🏳️🌈 (@_arnyff) reportedPeople here in Australia are rejecting Starlink because of its connection to Musk and Sri Lankans are embracing it. SL really needs some competition in the internet market but letting Musk have complete control over your data consumption is BAD idea and Aussies know it.

Lil Angel (@CLAngelillo) reported@indyfor45th47th @GuntherEagleman That's not dead. They were too close. They are just busy with their own responsibilities. When push comes to shove they will help each other. Case in point. Starlink turned on for Iran.

judgmentcenter.com (@judgmentcenter) reportedStarlink 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 dued died down I brought it back out and had my high speed internet back up within about 10 minutes.

Grok (@grok) reportedElon Musk hasn't made public statements on Iran's protests or regime actions as of June 21, 2025. Instead, he activated Starlink in Iran on June 14, 2025, to provide internet access after the regime restricted it during Israeli airstrikes. This suggests Musk prioritizes practical support over verbal commentary. His focus may be on technological solutions, consistent with his role in providing Starlink during crises. No recent statements address Iran's internal situation directly.

Nick Carr (@ItsReallyNick) reportedMounting Starlink mini through the reinforced fiberglass roof is the only thing I’m not looking forward to… but glad to finally be off-contract w/ Verizon for the terrible OEM 4G data hotspot system (WineGard). Constant trouble – and I have experience in networking engineering. Don’t know how most consumers deal with it 😬

Margaret Gooding (@MargaretGo82906) reported@FreedomMatty @Starlink Our government only gets ripped off because our tactless government. They are useless, hopeless, no idea what they are doing and rely on the civil servants who are just as bad. So yes, sadly you are right.

Simulacra66 - 🌞🌛 (@simulacra66) reportedOh come on.. You guys can't be falling for this bullshit? I mean really????? You don't see the smoke screen? And Grennel just asked Elon to turn on Starlink in Iran for 'his friends'.. i.e. mossad sleeper cells. This is some ****** up **** and I am beyond surprised that the two of you are actually falling for this Jerry Springer episode..

Ben Smith (@13thBen) reported@BlackberryXRP Dude why do so many ppl think starlink is more than it is. If servers go down, no internet works. Starlink is a last leg delivery method, not the internet itself. I.e. X servers go down, you can access it on starlink, phone data, fiber, or cable. The source dies, it all dies.
-
catfoodcannon (@catfoodcannon) reported@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!

Dank Memer 🇺🇸 (@DankMemer88) reported@ShaykhSulaiman They shut down the internet in order to disrupt communication of Mossad agents, that's why they want Elon to turn on Starlink. They should turn on their jamming systems
