43 station(s)How to Check If Starlink Is Down in Your Region
When your internet suddenly stops working, determining whether the problem lies with your satellite dish, local cable setup, or the entire Starlink network is essential. Starlink Outage Map collects crowdsourced status reports from thousands of active terminal owners across North America, Europe, South America, Asia-Pacific, Australia, and Africa. By combining live user reports with ground station operational indicators, our platform delivers an instant overview of real-time service health.
If you see multiple report spikes in your immediate metropolitan area or zip code, Starlink is likely experiencing a localized ground station fiber disruption or severe weather attenuation (rain fade). If no other reports are filed near you, the issue is usually localized to your physical hardware, tree obstruction line-of-sight, or router power supply.

Live Crowdsourced Telemetry FeedLIVE FEED
No anomalous reports in the last 24 hours — baseline conditions across all 43 monitored hubs (nominal latency: Seattle 19.5ms – Cape Town 54.0ms). If your dish is disconnected, check local cable connections and obstructions below.
Network Baseline Assessment
Our automated monitor evaluates crowdsourced outage reports against historical baseline traffic. Fewer than 10 global reports per hour indicates standard individual user setup issues (such as local tree obstructions or cable strain) rather than a central satellite constellation outage.
Weather & Atmospheric Absorption
Ku-band and Ka-band satellite frequencies are naturally susceptible to rain fade during severe thunderstorms, squalls, or heavy snow accumulation on the dish. Most rain-fade disconnections auto-recover within 5 to 15 minutes as weather fronts pass.
Ground Station & Fiber Gateways
Starlink satellite signals route through regional ground station fiber backhauls. If a regional ground station experiences power failure or fiber maintenance, users in surrounding postal zones may temporarily see searching or ping spikes.

Understanding Starlink Weather Interruptions and Rain Fade
Satellite internet operates on high-frequency radio waves in the Ku and Ka microwave bands. While these frequencies allow for high-speed download links exceeding 200 Mbps, heavy rain clouds, hail, and thick thunderstorm fronts can temporarily absorb microwave signals. This phenomenon is known as "rain fade." During torrential downpours, your Starlink app may report "Searching for Satellite" or "Offline - Signal Attenuated."
Once the storm cell moves past your dish location, the connection typically recovers automatically within 5 to 10 minutes. If rain or heavy snow persists, turning on the "Snow Melt" feature in your Starlink App settings will heat the dish surface to prevent ice accumulation from dampening signal reception.
Incidents Log (30-day index)
Comprehensive 30-day rolling record of global Starlink constellation availability, gateway telemetry anomalies, atmospheric attenuation, and restoration logs from 2026-09-22 to 2026-10-21.
Why are only a few incidents logged across the 30 days?
Operational Context: Unlike a daily journal, this page is an Incident Log monitoring the rolling 30-day window (2026-09-21 to 2026-10-20). Starlink's satellite constellation maintains a ~99.8% baseline uptime globally. Incident entries are generated only when anomalous events occur (such as Tier-1 teleport fiber disruptions, NOAA solar geomagnetic storms, or severe convective rain fade).
Days without an incident entry operated at 100% capacity with 0 disruptions. If you wish to review day-by-day operational health for all 30 days, simply switch to the "Complete 30-Day Daily Ledger" tab below to inspect every single calendar day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick reference guides for physical LED states, weather disruptions, and typical maintenance downtimes.
Q1.How do I know if Starlink is down or if it's just my dish?
Check our live outage map above to see if other users in your region are reporting connection drops at the same time. If no regional outages are reported and your app displays "Searching" or "Obstructed", consult our comprehensive field repair guides to isolate micro-obstructions, cable faults, and satellite beam handoffs.
Q2.What causes Starlink satellite internet outages?
Starlink outages are commonly caused by severe weather (rain fade / heavy snow blocking high-frequency microwave signals), physical obstructions (trees, buildings), ground station fiber backhaul disruptions, scheduled gateway firmware updates, or peak-hour cell congestion.
Q3.How long do Starlink outages usually last?
Most brief connection dropouts during LEO satellite handoffs resolve automatically in 5 to 30 seconds. If your terminal is experiencing recurring disconnections every few minutes throughout the day, follow our step-by-step troubleshooting manuals. Regional ground station fiber cuts or major solar geomagnetic storms typically last between 15 minutes and 2 hours.
Q4.What should I do first when my Starlink goes offline?
First, check the Starlink App for error alerts and verify your cable connections. If your router or dish is caught in an endless power cycling reset loop, follow our technical manual on why Starlink keeps rebooting to fix PoE voltage drops and thermal shutdowns. If the hardware is powered steadily, perform a 30-second power cycle.
Q5.How can I report a Starlink service disruption?
Use the "Report a Starlink Outage" section on this page to select your region, equipment model, and outage type. Your report is instantly added to our crowdsourced global map to help other nearby users confirm outages.
Why Use This Starlink Outage Map?
Official Starlink status pages often show "all systems operational" even when hundreds of users in specific regions are experiencing downtime. Our map is powered by crowdsourced user reports — giving you a real-time, ground-level view of what is actually happening. When multiple users in your city report outages within minutes, you know the issue is network-wide, not your equipment.
Most Starlink outages are regional and weather-driven. A thunderstorm in Dallas or a snowstorm in Denver can knock out service for hours while the rest of the country stays online. Our city-level monitoring helps you distinguish between local weather issues and global Starlink network problems. This is especially useful for remote workers, RV travelers, and anyone in areas with no backup internet option.
We also track outage patterns over time. If your Starlink drops every night at the same time, or every time it rains, the history data helps you identify whether the cause is your hardware, local weather, or satellite coverage gaps in your area. No other free tool provides this level of location-specific Starlink outage tracking.
Crowdsourced Real-Time Data vs. Scheduled Polling
Unlike official carrier status pages that often rely on delayed 15-minute polling intervals or automated system averages, our platform harnesses instant crowdsourced reports from active terminal owners worldwide. When satellite disruptions occur, affected users immediately submit diagnostics through our Live Outage Reporting Tool. By cross-referencing these instant submissions with GeoIP telemetry across our Global City Profiles Directory, we map regional service degradation the second it begins, ensuring you never have to guess if an outage is isolated to your dish.
100% Independent & Transparent Monitoring
Official telecommunication channels frequently withhold or downplay localized gateway failures and temporary rain fade attenuation until major thresholds are breached. As an independent third-party monitoring service, we provide unfiltered visibility without ISP censorship or corporate delays. Our analytical engine correlates user reports with low-Earth orbit satellite orbital mechanics and regional weather patterns. You can review verified historical disruption trends in our 30-Day Outage Log or learn how our algorithms filter false positives via our Data Sources & Verification Engine.
Faster Diagnostics & Actionable Field Fixes
When you encounter offline alerts or blinking red router lights, speed is essential for remote workers, maritime vessels, and rural businesses. Our live 24-hour spike graphs let you instantly differentiate between widespread constellation dropouts and local hardware anomalies. If the outage map indicates normal network operations in your area, you can immediately transition to self-healing diagnostics using our Field Repair Guides, including specialized troubleshooting for persistent micro-drops or when experiencing Slow Speeds & High Latency.
Starlink Terminal Models & Hardware Comparison
Starlink offers several dish hardware revisions tailored to residential, mobile, and maritime usage. Standard Actuated (Gen 2) models incorporate internal motorized mounts that automatically orient the antenna towards clear northern or southern skies. Standard Flat (Gen 3) dishes eliminate internal motors in favor of a wider electronic phased-array field of view and manual kickstand positioning.
The ultra-portable Starlink Mini integrates the Wi-Fi router directly into the dish chassis, running off 12V-48V DC power supplies, making it popular for RV campers and off-grid remote workers. High Performance and Flat High Performance terminals feature double the antenna surface area to maintain connections during heavy rain and extreme weather, making them ideal for enterprise and maritime installations.

- !Slightly higher nominal power consumption compared to Gen 2
Use the Starlink App "Alignment" tool to aim the dish within ±5° of indicated azimuth to maximize microwave signal-to-noise ratio.
Why Gen 3 Dropped Internal Motors
Motors introduced mechanical failure points in heavy freezing rain and high winds. Gen 3 compensates with a wider 110° electronic field-of-view, allowing stationary beam-steering that drastically improves long-term reliability.
Starlink Mini DC Topologies & Voltage
Mini natively accepts 12V-48V DC. However, uplink transmission bursts cause instantaneous voltage drops. If long wires drop below 11.0V, the dish will experience brownout reboot loops. Use 14-16 AWG wiring or a 24V step-up converter.
Rain Fade vs Active Antenna Aperture
Ku/Ka microwave signals suffer attenuation from heavy rain. High Performance models feature 2x antenna surface area to preserve SNR through downpours, while Mini experiences rain fade earlier due to compact physical aperture.
