Starlink outage 7/24/2025, but mainstream media didn't really pick-up on it.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/spacex-probes-cause-starlinks-global-satellite-network-outage-2025-07-25/   Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... Reuters, doesn't tell the whole story here. Our outage from from 3:30PM - almost 10PM EST. We heard that the outage was world-wide. Got to say, we've had Starlink for almost 2 years now, and this is the longest outage yet. In comparison, Frontier DSL was down, more than up. And, when we loose power, put a generator to the Starlink router and we are on-line, where the rest of the neighborhood is not.

meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

I got caught up in this too.

Starlink has many micro outages that are hard to notice, but this extended outage was very visible.  I still had a 4G backup source to fall back on and I think I am going to add some better antennas to it for the future.  I love Starlink for the most part, but as complicated as the system is, it doesn’t take much to disrupt it.
