Elon Musk's satellite internet service Starlink said it had a "network outage" on Thursday. The company said it was working on a solution.
There were more than 60,000 reports of an outage on Downdetector, a site that logs issues.
Starlink is owned and operated by SpaceX, which is also run by Musk.
At 4:30 p.m. ET, Musk apologized for the outage on X and said, "Service will be restored shortly."
At 6:23 p.m. ET, SpaceX's vice president of Starlink engineering, Michael Nicolls, said in an X post that service "has now mostly recovered from the network outage, which lasted approximately 2.5 hours."
Musk posted earlier Thursday that the company's direct-to-cell-phone service was "growing fast" following the announcement that T-Mobile 's Starlink-powered satellite service was available to the public.
T-Mobile said the T-Satellite service was built to keep phones connected "in places no carrier towers can reach."
Starlink didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
