On 7/9/25, I had a notification that my Starlink residential account was past due and required payment to reinstate service. I paid the entire balance required to resume services. It states that it can take up to an hour for service to being working again. An hour passed and still disconnected, and my account shows that I need to pay off outstanding balances on my account, account balance is $0, (paid with credit card), it also shows that I do not have a subscription and need to choose one, however there is no option to choose one. I submitted a support ticket; this is the ONLY way to get assistance on an issue. No response for rest of the day. Over the next 3 days, I have checked my account and messages, absolutely NOTHING! The "chatbot" suggests opening expedited, urgent, no response tickets. No responses on these tickets either. There is absolutely no way to speak to a human support agent for this company which is extremely frustrating for customers! This is by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced. If a company decides to not have a phone system, the online system should be almost flawless, with Starlink, it is not! I feel this is very unprofessional, disrespectful to customers and just rude.

I used my email to check the Starlink services when it first started years ago. I did not sign up for anything. I have since been subscribed to several of their email lists (spam). I have unsubscribed every time. Today I just received another email from the company.I do not want any emails from the company. I do not want any contact from the company. I do not want the company to share or sell my information with any other company. If my information has been shared or sold to another company then I would like those companies to be notified that I do not want my information shared or sold again.

I am rejecting this response because: What kind of response is this? Of course there is not an account number. I do not have an account. Sending unwanted emails is against the law.

I am rejecting this response because: Again, I am not a customer. I do not have a ticket number because you cannot create a ticket unless you are a customer. I am trying to be nice about this yet the company is making demands that I cannot provide. I suppose I could do the same in a lawsuit since they are breaking the law.

Nature of Complaint: Problem with a Product or Service Complaint Details:My Starlink service was suspended without a clear reason. I opened a support ticket (TIK-*******-*****-57) to resolve the issue.On July 4, 2025, a support agent named ****** asked me to answer 9 detailed security questions to verify my account. I provided complete and truthful answers to all questions and supplied all requested documentation.Instead of reviewing my response, Starlink support began closing my tickets with a generic, templated reply stating that they have already provided guidance and will not take further action. My answers and evidence have been completely ignored.I then created a new ticket titled "Formal Complaint Regarding Handling of Ticket TIK-*******-*****-57". This formal complaint was also ignored and closed with the same template response.Starlink is failing to provide adequate support, is ignoring customer-provided information, and has suspended my service without providing a valid reason, despite my full cooperation. I request a full review of my case by a senior manager, a specific reason for the suspension, and the reinstatement of my account.

I can not connect the starlink internet to the rouku device. The rouku is updated. The rouku will let me use a cell phone as a hot spot to connect it. I want to use the starlink internet like I have been using. I've unplugged the roku to let it reboot. It still won't connect to starlink.

I placed an order with Starlink and canceled it within 30 minutes. I never received or returned any equipment, yet theyve held my money for over 30 days. A support agent told me the refund was processed, but I still have not received it. Ive been extremely patient, but this delay is unacceptable. Im requesting immediate action to return the funds.

I put in an order for a 45m cable on the Starlink website on June 17th at 6:32pm Eastern time. Shortly after placing the order 6:38 pm I successfully cancelled the order on the Starlink app and confirmed on the website. On June 23rd I noticed that I still had a charge that was approved on my credit card for ******. I opened a support ticket with Starlink (TIK-5384447-75448-61). I received a reaponse telling me to reply if my order was in correctly charged and I sent 10 responses over the past 3 days with no response or resolution. I tried opening a new ticket and still have not heard back. I tried sending an email to ************************************************************ and received an automated response to open a ticket with Starlink support which I already had. I currently have an investigation at my credit card company to attempt to resolve the matter. All I want is my money back. Thats it. I never received any product and nothing was shipped to me. I have confirmation that the order was cancelled is the app.

SENT MAY 14, 2025 (I've sent more before this): *** ***** <*****************************>May 14, 2025, 4:26PM to starlinkresolutions I sign in to my account but it says I do not have an "admin" or any other "role". When I try to contact customer service through the app and on-line, it says I "dont have the necessary credentials to access that feature".... How can i get my admin role back so I can pay the invoice?You're company is very frustrating.... Im NOT paying $200.00 for "support" to help me pay YOU... Please contact me so I can pay the invoice and get my admin role back please.RESPONSE: Starlink Resolutions <**************************************************************************************>Mon, May 19, 9:49AM to me Hello, We hope this message finds you well. We understand and apologize that you are experiencing difficulties accessing your account.We've recently introduced a new account assistance process to get our customers into their account as quickly as possible. We ask that you please refer to the ********************************************************************************** . Our dedicated team will promptly address your issue and provide necessary assistance.Thank you for your cooperation and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.I have no idea if they are still billing me for service I haven't had since May 2025 or not because I can't get a valid response out of them. I've asked that they cancel mu subscription and withdraw the monthly fee(s) since I can't use their INTERNET service... I've also filed a complaint with the *** on July 02, 2025, but Starlink has 30m days to respond to me, but they still have not responded. It is a very SIMPLE request, change my status since I can't go through "normal" channels of accessing "CUSTOMER SERVICE" because I have no "role" in their system... They have a Catch-22 in their system since you can't speak to a live human being without paying $200.00 additional dollars that was NEVER MENTIONED.CANCEL SERVICE, WITHDRAW $240 bill for 2 mos. service not received.

Spoke with a customer service representative by the name of ***** and ordered the StarLink Unit, discussed and agreed that I wanted the ********** Package. When I received the unit and attempted to set it up, ***** had set it up for Residential. So went to my online account and changed it to ********** Package. Immediately I was charged for the ******************* Package for $143.88. I called numerous times to speak with ***** and left messages and have not received a return telephone call. I paused the service until going camping on June 7th and un-paused it. Immediately again I was charged for the ******************* Package for $145.40. When returning from camping, I paused the service again, but it indicated that I had service until July 3, 2025. I have called to speak to ***** numerous time again this week and he has not returned my phone call. I spoke with a representative Monday, June 16, 2025 and was told that I would be credited the charges. As of today, I have not been credited the charges. I called and spoke with another representative and was told he didn't know who I spoke with but I would not be credited the charges. The telephone numbers that I have been calling is ************ and *****************-943-6242. The charges are from Hawthorne Starlink in **********.
