(Reuters) -Starlink was experiencing a network outage, Elon Musk's SpaceX-owned satellite internet company said on Thursday, with Downdetector showing that the service was down for thousands of users.
"Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution," it said in a post on X.
The service appeared to have experienced a "total outage" beginning around 3:13 p.m., according to Doug Madory, an expert at the internet analysis firm Kentik.
He said such a sweeping interruption in service was unusual. "They haven't had one like this in a long time," Madory told Reuters.
There were 29,789 incidents of people reporting issues with the service as of 4.07 p.m. ET, according to Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources.
