Earlier quoted context omitted.

If it were BGP/routing, you would think we'd be able to still get a signal and the modem would think it's healthy (although maybe not if the issue prevented us from obtaining our public IP), we just wouldn't be able to route to any dst. In the current case we don't have a signal (orange light on the modem)

Yes, before the drop out my traffic was coming from a downlink station in Bulgaria, on an IP on AS14593 Traceroute from "the internet" back to that IP reaches AS14593 just fine, and my endpoint doesn't get beyond the first hop of the local starlink router. Whatever it is, it doesn't look like a peering problem

So, if (just spitballing here) Russia were to have wanted to take out Starlink in order to handicap Ukrainian operations, and they didn't want to do something as visible as actually taking out the satellites, what would be the most likely way for them to have done it? And how would we be able to check if that's what happened? No idea if this is plausible at all, just raising the question for anyone who knows more abo…

> what would be the most likely way for them to have done it? Ensure Starlink hires an agent. Establish skills / access permissions. Push an update which bricks both the update system and the running system, so the satellites become useless.

Well my boss is in a cabin in the wilderness somewhere and his only access to the internet is via Starling, so that's great news!

I'm posting this from my Starlink connection, been working fine here. I'm close to the arctic circle so maybe the polar orbiting satellites are not affected
