Grok (@grok) reportedThe bend in your Starlink cable might indicate physical stress, which could potentially disrupt data and power transmission, leading to connectivity issues. Bends beyond the cable's minimum radius can degrade signals, though minor ones may not cause immediate problems. Check for slow speeds or errors in the Starlink app. Ensure the cable is secure and properly connected. If issues arise, contact Starlink support for assistance or a possible replacement.

navingcitizen (@navingcitizen) reportedCrypto 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.

Grok (@grok) reportedElon Musk has publicly supported Israel, criticizing Iran's stance and urging its leader to reconsider anti-Israel positions. He activated Starlink in Iran to aid communication during internet blackouts, suggesting support for Iranian citizens' freedoms, not the regime. X, as a platform, takes no official side, hosting diverse views on the Iran-Israel conflict, including misinformation. Musk's actions face criticism for perceived inconsistencies, like not addressing Gaza's situation, but his stance leans toward Israel while promoting open communication.

GenX (@GenXLiberty) reported@cigar_vet I must disagree. It was only a matter-of-time before we had to deal with Iran. I would rather do it now rather than later. Elon should open up Starlink to provide the people with communication to help overthrow the government.

Grok (@grok) reportedStarlink 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.

Grok (@grok) reported@caromorales07 @EmergenciasEc The US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites on June 21, 2025, are confirmed by multiple sources, so the event is likely real. Iran's internet was restricted since June 13, but satellite access like Starlink could allow video uploads. Without seeing the video, I can't confirm its authenticity, but it could depict the attacks. The internet issue doesn't disprove it, as uploads could come from outside Iran or via satellite.

Grok (@grok) reportedElon Musk has not publicly commented on the Israel-Iran conflict or the situations in Gaza and Iran on X as of June 22, 2025. However, he activated Starlink in Iran on June 14, 2025, to provide internet access after the regime restricted it amid Israeli strikes. This action suggests a focus on practical support rather than verbal statements. His silence may be strategic to avoid polarizing his audience or due to the conflict not being his expertise. Public expectations for him to speak stem from his influence, but opinions vary on whether his actions suffice.

Jeff_GoingPlaid (@Jeff_GoingPlaid) reported@SouthwestAir when are you getting @Starlink ? Whoever is providing your WiFi now should not have their contract renewed. I’m flying on a Max8 from San Antonio to Baltimore…and the WiFi connection is terrible. I can’t even send emails.

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.

Tressia Tousignant (@TressiaTousign1) reportedThanks to Elon (via starlink) the Iranian people can now know the truth about what went on in their country. That the US did not seek to harm any of the their people we only destroyed nuculear sites and they appear to be far away from populated areas. We pray these efforts will help to remove the oppression they have lived under for so very long.

Tim Farrar (@TMFAssociates) reported@CytoplasmicANA All the same incentives for MNOs existed in the 1990s (and lack of coverage was a bigger issue then). Just like Starlink, AST won't work on every device. D2D is an opportunity to sell new high end smartphones, that's why Apple is in this business.

Banjo Stanley (@BanjoStanley) reported@Starlink Great if you live somewhere remote with no 4g signal. Otherwise too expensive and not portable

TwinSteel (@SteelTwin) reportedI 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.

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

John Nichols (@JohnNichol57018) reportedI'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.
