The satellite-based internet service has usually held strong but this sudden down time came at the worst possible juncture, especially for some of them who were out in the wilderness with no other network range in sight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The outage report platform <em>Downdetector<\/em> saw a huge spike in Starlink outage reports, with more than 60,000 facing issues accessing their Starlink network in the early hours of Friday around 12:50 AM IST.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Starlink Down, Elon Musk Says Sorry<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Starlink shared its official report which confirmed its more than 2-hour long outage this week, and assured it will share more details once the service is restored. Meanwhile, Elon Musk assured that SpaceX will get into fixing the root cause to make sure it doesn\u2019t happen again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution.
