What is going on guys?

It’s in the article you posted:

Experts are blaming the most recent solar storm as the cause. A G3 Geomagnetic storm rocked the Earth this past week producing spectacular auroras all the way down to the mid latitude areas in the United States. Major solar flares continue to blast the Earth causing unstable conditions for satellites. Two more M8 flares have been been hurled towards Earth causing Geomagnetic storm predictions for this weekend. The solar wind index according to swpc.noaa.gov showed 500-600km per second winds throughout the duration of the storm. The average wind speed is usually around 300km per second for mild conditions.

Yeah the article i posted the other day also suggest solar flares for the increase, but many people chimed in suggesting that this was normal and expected because they have short lifespans. Over 200 in 3 months sounds like a lot to me, which is roughly 4% of their total satellites and the earliest production satellites were from 2019 and it wasn’t even 200.

I didn’t, solar flares and activity can cause signal loss. I agree that the amount of starlink loss seems excessive, but signal loss can be explained by solar activity. What do you think is happening?

Wow, dude you got your posts deleted by the moderators and here you are trying to keep them going. You are just dumb dude. You need to go back to school and get a better education. Multiple people have told you why this is the case and you think its some grand conspiracy. They are micro satellites in low earth orbit, equipment attrition is built into their costs apparently.

If you live in the US or Canada, I recommend just using your cell phone for internet.

I use Visible for $25/month and have unlimited data at reasonable speeds.

That’s all good and well if you’re in close proximity to a cell tower. There’s huge stretches of rural areas that aren’t…

True, but Visible uses Verizon’s network.

I used to use Mint mobile and had issues while traveling the US. Ever since switching to Visible, I’ve had no problems whatsoever.

I’m recommending this for people who live in rural areas, which I do.
