Aurora vs Starlink

Last night's major G4/5 solar storm may have impacted Starlink in some parts of the world, with a red warning for "Degraded Service" being posted to their website. Given that the after effects may last the weekend, then this might continue to be an issue in some parts for a bit longer.


"Starlink is currently experiencing degraded service. Our team is investigating."

But I've not seen many complaints or other updates.
 
I can't tell what happened before 3:40 a.m. as the starling terminal appears to have rebooted without me asking it to reboot. This loses all the history.
Since then my outage log has a lot of entries . Normally there would be no entries at all over several days.
Since 3:40am I have had four 12 seconds or longer drops too. Also unheard of until now.

No 0.1s entries over several days? That's impressive!

They are rare but I do have 3 sub1second outages showing at the moment.
When Starlink has a good view of the sky, it really is pretty ridiculously good. Shame about Musk and the monthly cost.
