Starlink Internet

[Wisnu]

A report today that Starlink has had a global network outage attributed to software. I wonder how Expat Ino members who now have Starlink are getting on. Perhaps now unable to read the forum.

I was not aware and not realizing it even though many electronic systems and equipment such as Smart home (zigbee but still require internet), TV, treadmill, CCTV, solar system, ect are connected or require the internet. Indeed, we do have backup wifi but auto connect to limited devices. If there was an outage, could be for short period. I expect to receive automatic notification if this happened. No notification from Starlink though.

You know what’s a bit risky with StarLink installations in this country? Lightning. So better make sure whoever puts it on your roof also takes care of surge protection. There’s no warranty btw.

Yes, I install ESE (early streamer emission) lightning protection with R 70m and certainly surge protector with dedicated grounding system as per IEC and PUIL requirement.

No warranty, but I believe better than no protection.

Starlink performance today is very poor. Very slow and Intermittently no internet. Practically cant streaming, nether YouTube. First time since we subscribe starlink, i use our backup wifi - Orbit.

Over the past week, Starlink's performance has been very poor, with frequent disconnections and extremely slow speeds, often reaching less than 10 Mbps.

Has customer service had any answers as to what may be going on?

yes, no response so far. in fact, not sure if they read my WA message as they hide the reading status.
