## About

SpaceX's satellite internet service providing high-speed broadband from low-Earth orbit

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing found the Starlink website fully accessible in March 2026, but a follow-up test in May 2026 showed the coverage map marks Syria as an area where residential service is not yet available, offering only a waitlist signup. Users can browse plans but cannot order or activate service for a Syrian address. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-05-10 — Verified. Community testing verified that while the Starlink website is accessible from Syria, the underlying residential service is not yet available. Loading the coverage map at starlink.com/map and centering on Damascus produces an overlay reading «Starlink Home services are not available in your area», prompting users to enter an email to be notified when service launches. Customers in Syria can browse plans and sign up for waitlist notifications, but cannot order or activate Starlink residential service for a Syrian address. Status updated from accessible to restricted to reflect that the website works but the core service remains unavailable in-country.

- 2026-03-09 — Verified. Community testing verified that the Starlink website is accessible from Syria. The homepage at starlink.com loads fully, displaying residential and roaming plans, pricing information, and the "Get Started" signup flow. No geographic restrictions were observed on the website itself. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/gwj9noeg000q2bqqrenjvy6g/wuwktyo7buq99ydxj1isqerd-img-2302.png)

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
