I have been paying for the service monthly with an automatic payment. The company withdrew a payment of $120.00 on 9/2/25 as per our contract. On 9/25/25 they cancelled my service indicating non-payment. They indicate that the 9/2/25 payment did not process. I can provide bank statements proving this payment did go through. I have been attempting to contact their customer service to resolve this issue since 9/25/25 and as of yet have received no contact from them. As far as I am concerned they have committed theft by taking my money and cancelling the service the money paid for. If they would respond to a customer service inquiry, I would not be so upset but I am going on three days now with absolutely zero contact from them.Business Response

I am a customer on *********************** $10/10 GB Roam plan (Account #: *********************. I upgraded to $50/50 GB for one billing cycle, then requested to switch back to the $10/10 GB plan.Starlink refuses to reinstate my plan, citing a policy but refusing to provide the policy in writing. They have confirmed that other customers are still on the $10 plan but will not allow me to return to it.I have requested escalation to a supervisor four times, but I continue to get the same repeated response without escalation or review.I am requesting that Starlink reinstate my $10/10 GB plan (which they have admitted still exists for customers who have not changed).Business Response

Hi ********,
We received your informal consumer complaint stating that you are unable to switch back into the 10gb plan. Please advise that this specific plan is no longer available, and that's why you were unable to switch after changing to the 50gb plan. If a customer is currently on a 10gb plan, they can remain on that plan until they switch to another available plan. After looking into your account, we can see that members of our customer support team are actively trying to help you on TIK-DF-6549853-91963-49. Please make sure to refer back to that open ticket if you have any additional questions or concerns. Thank you

* Around July 24th, 2025, my starlink began experiencing significant outages related to the starlink network (note this is in addition to ongoing outages linked to storms). The outages generally fell into two categories: A. Recurring outages linked to thunder storms (has been ongoing for some time) and B. A new issue where the starlink network itself was no longer reliable even on days when no storms were present. Previously the starlink network had been very reliable.* Very rapidly after issue B above started to occur, the starlink network experienced what appears to have been a national or even global outage. After the global outage, my starlink equipment would randomly start periods when it would just continually reboot, then it would stabilize, then continually reboot again. In between these periods, the starlink network itself would become very unstable.* I contacted support and provided the attached evidence (see tickets TIK-*******-*****-52 historical and TIK-DF-*******-*****-39. Support suggested the issue was not with the starlink network at various points (which I disagree with), then agreed there were some issues with the starlink network, and suggested that I replace my Starlink equipment. I disagreed that my starlink equipment was an issue, but nontheless, I replaced my starlink equipment with a new kit on September 6th, 2025. Subsequently to this, I am still experiencing significant outages linked to the starlink network.I would like to request that Starlink refund me the $201.49 that I spent on the kit, refund the Starlink service fees from July 24th, 2025 through now, and figure out what is wrong with the starlink network causing this. I asked that starlink provide me with a high performance kit to hopefully reduce or resolve these problems, but they have refused to date.Address: *************************************************************Business Response

There is no live human support available. There is no one to talk to about issues with their product. There is no way to view a breakdown of your bill. Most of all there is no way to pay your monthly subscription early or manually.Business Response

I messaged the company to let them know that the address I input was incorrect before the item was even shipped. They refused to correct it and it was shipped out to the incorrect address. Ive been trying for weeks to attempt to get another device shipped. I then requested a refund via ticket where they have not even responded. I want my money back. I went ahead and went to another provider due to their lack of ny support.Business Response

My husband was gone on military training so he reactivated the starlink for use while he was there to be able to work on school work. This was August 10. Its a monthly subscription and the email regarding activation started, You've successfully activated your Starlink service! Your Starlink service is a monthly subscription that is billed on activation and recurs monthly. You will automatically be billed for your first month of service today at a price of $91.64. At 9:08 PM on August 27 an email was sent from Starlink as a reminder that the next monthly charge (of $165) would auto draft on August 28. Seeing as it was late at night when this email was sent, I did not see it until waking at 6:30 AM on August 28 and immediately went to cancel. It had already drafted and starlink refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing on their part and will not refund the money despite 1) the implication that the charge on August 10 was a MONTHLY subscription and that the amount paid was for the first MONTH of service rather than 17 days, 2) the EXTREMELY late reminder of the auto draft allowing no time to actually turn off the subscription, and 3) the fact that ZERO internet has been used because the device doesnt even have power to it and Im clearly IMMEDIATELY requesting cancellation/refund. This company is a rip off!Business Response

I bought starlink mobile and the mini dish.The service is spotty and more unstable than cellular.While moving I'm lucky to get more than 12mbps.The advertized speeds and stable service with clear sky's is not what my experience has been.I feel that I have been scammed. The service is not worth $165/mo.Business Response
