      On March 14th I paid for my StarlinkX internet package and all equipment. I have received the kit but I did not receive the power cord for the Wireless router. I have requested 4 times to have them send me the power cord- and 3 times they answered and the status shows preparing shipment, and the 4th request has not been answered. It has shown this status for 2 months now. I am very upset about their horrible customer service. There is no phone number or email address to contact anyone. Will you be able to assist me in this matter? Thank you in advance.

      We have had no internet service since 05/18, this is also a he date of first help ticket being added though Starlink system. I have since added a second ticket , which was promptly closed by Starlink advising it is a duplicate and they would respond to first ticket which never happened. I have also since added a customer complaint ticket today. We have completed all the trouble shooting steps and have replaced cable between router and dish, nothing we can do from our side further.

      Exercised my option to get my deposit refunded and cancel order. No customer service only can create ticket. No response at all for over 2 months.

      For months my service has been outstanding! Been very happy with starlink speeds but their customer service is a joke. You cannot call, email, txt, nothing. You just submit a ticket into the void and hope someone answers back. I have been trying get my service back up. It's been 3 days and no answer. I checked everything their auto reply troubleshooting guide says to do but with no luck.

      My Starlink system quit working and trying to get a response or help with customer support is taking a tremendous amount of time. They copy/paste answers/questions once a week in their responses. This has been going on for over 2 weeks now and they simply won't respond. In the past 2 weeks they have responded twice, once to my original problem and one more follow up question that had already been answered previously. I am totally without internet and they seem to be totally oblivious to my problem, if not completely heartless. I have also filed a complaint with the *** with no response.

      We purchased and received a Starlink dish and router. We never received an email to set up account. Installed the equipment with hopes of getting the equipment to work, but without a valid email within their system, the app used to set up the router would not work. There is no way to submit a ticket for assistance without a valid email address within their system. Within an hour of powering up the equipment our credit card was charged for the 1st month of service. We would like resolution to this issue.

      I purchased Starlink because I live in a rural fire area and having this internet provider allows me to maintain internet during PSPS events. Just over a month I have an issue with the router, and Starlink has provided no customer service to resolve my issue. I have not heard from anyone. Some customers say online that they havent heard from customer service in 5 weeks. Im coming up on a week, and very disappointed in Starlink. What also irritates me, If I remove the product Ill have to keep the satellite on my new roof where I installed the product or repair the roof. Im frustrated because it can be resolved so easy.

      It is so frustarating. Sometimes Starlink service works others it doesn't like today is one of those days. It has been down all day and we have tried everything. Nothing works. I have emailed and tried to call no one will respond. THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE OR TECHNICAL SUPPORT YET THEY TAKE MY MONEY EVERY MONTH AND JUST HAD AN INCREASE OF PRICE. We need help. We would like technical support or our money back I will find a different service. Very disappointing that ***************** has taken advantage of their customers and treat us as though we don't matter.

      Our Starlink internet has been offline since May 6th. We followed all of the trouble shooting steps they recommended, but it did not fix the problem. We then submitted a ticket to their Customer Support. We got an email saying they received our ticket, but no other communication since. I have updated our ticket daily letting them know were still offline, still no answer or any indication of how long well need to wait to get an answer. We would appreciate help resolving this issue with Starlink as submitting a ticket to their customer support is the only communication option they offer. Starlinks poor customer is disappointing, especially since we pay $120 month for this service.

      I requested a $99.00 deposit refund over a month ago. It took 2 1/2 weeks for them to even respond to my initial inquiry. Once they did they said my bank "denied" the refund. I contacted my bank and they stated there was never any attempt to refund my money. I responded to Starlink with this information and they said they would "check with their processing center" and I have yet to hear back from them. I've messaged them two more times, no response. TERRIBLE customer service. Thank God we decided not to use them. I can only imagine the customer service if you have internet issues.
