Starlink has officially crossed another major milestone. In a post on X, Starlink confirmed it is now connecting more than 10 million active customers with high-speed satellite internet across 160 countries, territories, and markets worldwide.
“Starlink is connecting more than 10M active customers with high-speed internet across 160 countries, territories and many other markets. Thank you to all our customers around the world!” the company said.
The achievement comes just weeks after Starlink celebrated hitting 9 million users in late December, meaning the service added roughly 1 million new customers in less than two months. At its current pace, that works out to more than 19,000 new users per day since crossing the 9 million mark.
Adoption has been accelerating at breakneck speed. Over the course of 2025 alone, Starlink doubled its user base to 9.2 million subscribers while expanding into 35 new markets. The service now accounts for an astonishing 97% of global satellite internet traffic — effectively dominating the category it helped redefine.
Key growth markets continue to emerge. Brazil, for example, has surpassed 1 million subscribers, making it Starlink’s second-largest market globally. And with Starlink recently removing waitlists from every region where it operates, subscriptions could ramp even faster from here.
Behind the scenes, the network itself is about to get a massive upgrade. The first Starlink V3 satellites are expected to launch later this year, exponentially increasing network capacity and finally enabling true gigabit-class connectivity on the ground. SpaceX has already teased the dramatically larger V3 satellites, which are designed to supercharge performance as demand scales globally.
With availability now spanning more than 160 countries and infrastructure improvements on the horizon, Starlink’s momentum shows little sign of slowing. What started as an ambitious experiment in low-Earth orbit broadband is quickly becoming the default option for satellite internet worldwide.
