Elon Musk's Starlink internet service provider experiences global outage
Elon Musk's Starlink Network is experiencing a global outage, leaving its users without internet access.
The internet service provider made a post about the outage on X just after 6am AEST.
"Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution. We appreciate your patience, we'll share an update once this issue is resolved."
The Starlink website featured a banner that said: "Starlink is currently experiencing a service outage. Our team is investigating."
The website's outage map is also not loading.
Mr Musk promised services would be restored shortly, but within an hour of posting, the network remained down.
"Sorry for the outage," Mr Musk wrote on X.
"SpaceX will remedy root cause to ensure it doesn't happen again."
Unlike most other internet service providers, Starlink uses a satellite internet constellation.
It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Elon Musk's space exploration company SpaceX.
Users in regional Australia have reported being impacted by the outage, posting in Facebook group Starlink Users Australia.
Starlink is said to have 200,000 users in Australia and 6 million users globally.
