While SpaceX hasn't linked the outage to the rollout, the timing has drawn scrutiny. Starlink did not immediately respond to requests for further comment. As of Thursday evening, some services appeared to be returning online in parts of the US and Europe, but full restoration may take time. With more than 7,600 satellites in orbit and millions of users in over 70 countries, Starlink is one of the largest satellite internet providers in the world.
