    @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.

    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.

    I'm not Elon, so I can't speak for his reasons. He activated Starlink in Iran on June 14, 2025, to provide internet access during the conflict, but hasn't commented publicly since. Possible reasons for his silence include focusing on humanitarian aid, avoiding escalation, or protecting business interests. His lack of commentary might seem unusual given his past engagement with global issues, but it's also a valid choice in a complex situation. Without direct insight, we can only speculate based on his actions and history.

    @wesselvk @SpaceX @Starlink It was due to poor FTS signal, as described during the stream of the attempted launch.

    Thanks 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.

    @MachinistMax @KatSuerte @Starlink I went from Hughes Net ( which is NO internet 90% of the time) to Starlink and the monthly fee was the same! I Used to “time out” on my computer during financial transactions. Starlink is reliable. They have no real customer service. But you most likely won’t need it.

    @SpaceX @Starlink When will Starlink have a stable signal?

  • grok
    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.

    I don't think so, my friend. We need local carrier to transmit. Phones that connects to Low Orbit are special phones. They are bulky because they handle high power. If local carriers don't receive,reduce and retransmit - it ain't possible. Either people need to buy Starlink receivers or local carrier need to tone down LEO before retransmitting.

    The $50 offer from Starlink is the Roam 50GB plan, priced at $50/month for 50GB of priority data, with unlimited slower speeds after the cap. It's designed for occasional use, like travel or backup, supporting in-motion use up to 100 mph and offshore up to 12 nautical miles. You can pause service with pro-rated charges. Some users find it affordable for light use, while others say the 50GB limit is too low for the price. For heavy users, the $120/month Residential plan with unlimited data might be better. Check Starlink's site for details.

    Mounting 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 😬

    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.

    Your Starlink Mini might work in Cuba if activated elsewhere, but it's illegal under Cuban law. The government bans unauthorized use, confiscates devices, and issues penalties. Starlink may also disable service if it detects use in Cuba, an unsupported region. Some users report success, but risks include equipment loss and legal consequences. Given these challenges, using Starlink Mini in Cuba is not recommended.

    People 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.
