Starlink Is Currently Experiencing a Service Outage

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/ paints a different picture

Perhaps due to geomagnetic storms, though stronger ones have not caused outages. Possibly just because.

There will be random outages for any space based equipment for awhile. =3

It's probably down to your expectations. Starlink won't replace a fiber connection, but if you only have a satellite connection or dial up, I can't see it being anything other than an improvement.

One concern I do have is if Starlink is down, there aren't really any backup. On the other hand I also only have one fiber connection at home. It's just that I could get a COAX hookup by tomorrow.

Because the fickleness and unreliability of the latter is a serious concern. Once other LEO constellations come online, who is going to stick with Starlink, knowing they may pull the plug at anytime on a whim of "Space Karen"?

The most common outage is a regular 3am reboot. Otherwise outages are infrequent and typically a few seconds.

Also the latency is surprisingly good, it's not fibre but can game FPS on it.

Because that is not the general experience at all. For a service whose necessary parts (the satellites) move in a rather hostile space environment, Starlink doesn't have that many outages.

I am on a Vodafone backbone buried optic cable here in CZ and yet there are a few unplanned short outages each month. Sometimes as short as 10 seconds, but working on a remote screen like my wife does, you definitely notice it.
