He said that his network was interrupted for about 8 minutes, and then began to return to normal. About 90 minutes later, a large number of users reported that the star chain Internet was disconnected through reddit.

However, since most of the testers and users of the star chain are in the United States, American users account for the majority of the overall disconnection report p> < p > fortunately for some users in the United States and Canada, they can use the star Link Internet again after 8 to 20 minutes of disconnection. However, others also reported that their services fluctuated many times between availability and unavailability p> < p > at present, the reason for the large-scale downtime of star chain Internet service is unclear, but it is said that a similar small-scale event occurred a few days ago.

SpaceX is operating the world's largest satellite internet service. Given the time required for newly launched satellites to be put into operation, the company is often subject to many restrictions and can't get more satellites online as quickly as it and early beta users want( Small) < / P > < p >
