Navigating Obstructions: Starlink’s Progress and Upcoming Improvements

As the constellation moves across the sky, your Starlink internet will be served by a diverse array of satellites. Should one satellite encounter signal obstruction, Starlink will make every effort to seamlessly switch you to another satellite with a clear signal. However, there may be instances when all overhead satellites are obstructed, resulting in a temporary dropout.

Starlink is dedicated to enhancing the process of satellite switching to ensure uninterrupted service, and you can play a role in optimising your own Starlink experience by minimising potential obstructions in the direction of your receiver.

Starlink understand that providing unobstructed service is crucial for user performance. To achieve this, Starlink are continually launching more satellites and positioning them strategically to offer better angles for Starlink connections. Despite ongoing improvements in the network, you are the best judge of your specific obstructions. Any steps you can take to mitigate obstructions will have an immediate and personalised impact on the quality of your service.
