A year after ditching waitlist, Starlink says it is “sold out” in parts of US


SpaceX’s Starlink doesn’t have enough capacity for everyone who wants it.

The Starlink availability map says the service is sold out in and around Seattle; Spokane, Washington; Portland, Oregon; San Diego; Sacramento, California; and Austin, Texas. While detailed region-by-region subscriber numbers aren't available publicly, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said last week that Starlink has nearly 5 million users worldwide. However, they could run into performance problems in congested areas with Roam, which is marketed for use while traveling, not as a fixed home Internet service.
