Ukraine says Starlink back to normal after week of throttling
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported4m ago
Ukrainian officials announced on Saturday that the Starlink satellite internet system and its military variant, Starshield, have returned to normal high speeds following over a week of throttling and restrictions. The SpaceX-owned systems, operated by Elon Musk, had experienced performance issues for more than a week.
The service disruptions significantly hampered the Ukrainian military's operations, specifically restricting its ability to intercept Russian attack drones and forcing the cancellation of several planned military operations. Additionally, the technical issues served to intensify geopolitical tensions between Ukraine and the United States.
