    I started having issues with my starlink internet service on May 2. It started going off and on. The next day, it was offline and I had no control of my modem. May 5, they continue to deduct their payment from my account for ******. I dont have a way to contact them directly except through messages. And they have my phone number and email and have failed to contact me to resolve the problem. All I get is step by step instructions to try to fix the problem. But to no avail. Its currently May 7, and I get asked for continued patience.

    I bought my starlink and set it up on 04/23/2025. When I set it up there was a glitch on the website only showing the pricing side of the screen. This caused me to choose a business account. I have opened multiple tickets in the app, starlink customer service never responds but closes all of my tickets citing "issue resolved" without resolving my issue or simply even responding to me. I need to change my service plan to a residential plan as I am not a business. Please have them reach out to me for a resolution.

    I have had Starlink Service for over 4 years. I have never had any issues until this past week. I had been off of work on short term disability & was awaiting payment at which time my service was interrupted on 4/16/25. I paid the bill within 2 hours of it being disconnected. Payment processed. Posted to my bank account the next day. ********************** has continued to tell me I had to wait 5 days for the payment to post on their end. Today 4/21/25 is technically the 6th day. Still no response on their ********** have not responded except for repeatedly telling me it would be up to 5 days to be turned back on. I provided them with my end, the payment posting & my service still being off. My children rely on this internet as well for their school work as they are in virtual school. There is no phone number to contact them. You can not chat with a live person. If you send in for a message, it is HOURS later to days later for a response from them. I owed $330 to which was paid. I am asking they credit my account for each day the service is disconnected as I paid the bill on 4/16/25.

    Auto pay took my payment and service was cut shortly after. Upon contacting Starlink I was given an automated response and received a human response 4 1/2 days later and was told they couldnt help me despite giving them a screenshot of my transaction which had posted 4 days prior. I was told that all transactions take 5 business days to process despite every other payment processing in less than an hour,

    I purchased a Starlink kit with a regional discount. I was not told that I would be charged $300 if I changed my plan. I got a notification on April 12, 2025 that I would be charged $300 in 3 days. I have opened 2 support tickets asking what options I have to avoid the $300 auto charge to my card. Apparently I cannot turn off auto pay either. At the time of this complaint, I have opened a 3rd support ticket explaining that I do not authorize any further charges on my Apple pay card until this can be resolved. I would rather return the equipment than be charged $300 extra for changing my plan. The only responses I have gotten from those support tickets appears to be automated and does not address my questions.
