Residential customers in the UK usually pay from \u00a375 a month, plus <del>\u00a3299<\/del> for hardware (currently free for many areas) on the \u2018<em>Standard<\/em>\u2019 unlimited data plan (kit price may vary due to different offers) directly from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/starlink\" target=\"_blank\">Starlink<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starlink.com\/legal\/documents\/DOC-1470-99699-90?regionCode=GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promises<\/a> UK latency times of 26-33ms, downloads of 116-277Mbps and uploads of 17-32Mbps. Cheaper, albeit more restrictive (data capped), options also exist for roaming users (e.g. \u00a350 per month for 50 GigaBytes of data).<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> By the end of 2024 Starlink\u2019s global network had 4.6 million customers (up from 2.3m in 2023) and 87,000 of those were in the UK (up from 42,000 in 2023) \u2013 mostly in rural areas. As of July 2025 Starlink has grown to a total of more than 6 million customers.<\/div>\n<p>Prior studies have confirmed that such networks do suffer a &#8220;<em>modest but noticeable impact<\/em>&#8221; on their performance during solar storms (when intense solar wind interacts with Earth\u2019s magnetosphere). This typically manifests as an immediate rise in packet loss and a sustained increase in round-trip time (RTT \/ latency).<\/p>\n<p>Such radiation can sometimes damage satellites, not only directly but also by spawning shifting currents and plasmas, which may cause the atmosphere to warm a little and atmospheric density to increase. In order to mitigate against the risk that this may stress related hardware systems and affect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/satellite\">satellite<\/a> trajectories (in extreme cases it may even result in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/satellite\">satellite<\/a> loss), SpaceX will often raise the altitude of their satellites a bit to avoid the extra drag. But these satellites will usually return to their original altitude within 1\u20132 days.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1145\/3748749.3749094\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>new study<\/strong><\/a> (credits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2025\/11\/18\/starlinks_method_of_dodging_solar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Register<\/a>) investigates how atmospheric drag from geomagnetic disturbances affects different parts of the LEO constellation during such events, and in turn, network performance. The study notes that the corrective action SpaceX takes triggers a &#8220;<em>cascading effect<\/em>&#8220;, with orbital adjustments propagating across neighbouring satellites in both spatial and temporal dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Full stabilization of the orbit often takes <\/em><em>3\u20134 days. These dynamic adjustments can disrupt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/satellite\">satellite<\/a> links and routing paths, contributing to performance issues such as a sustained increase in round-trip time (RTT)<\/em>,&#8221; said the report.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Study Findings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By localizing the impact of increased atmospheric drag at the level of individual satellites and orbits, we reveal significant heterogeneity in how different parts of the network are affected. We find that the degree of performance degradation varies significantly across geographic regions, depending on satellite positioning during the storm.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, we find that (i) not all satellite orbits are equally vulnerable, (ii) within a given orbit, certain satellites experience disproportionate impact depending on their position relative to geomagnetic conditions, and (iii) autonomous maneuvering of satellites might be a cause of the sustained increase in RTT.<\/p>\n<p>Our findings uncover previously overlooked patterns of vulnerability in LEO satellite constellations and highlight the need for more adaptive, region-aware mitigation strategies to address space weather-induced network disruptions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, while the study doesn&#8217;t really provide much data in terms of the performance impact, it does look as if the negative impacts are fairly small in the sense of their impact upon real-world usability (i.e. you might not even notice it). Crucially, Starlink also kept operating during several of the examined solar storm events, although we would have liked to know if there was any impact on data speeds too etc.<\/p>\n<p>While this study focuses on Starlink, which has the largest LEO constellation currently in operation, the methodology can also be extended to analyse other similar networks, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/oneweb\" target=\"_blank\">OneWeb<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/eutelsat\" target=\"_blank\">Eutelsat<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> Leo (formerly Kuiper).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study from a team of three researchers working out of the University of California (USA) has taken a &#8220;deep dive&#8221; into the impact of solar storms on Starlink&#8217;s global network of ultrafast broadband satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
