Starlink has surpassed 12 million active customers across 160+ countries and territories, up from 9 million in December 2025.
The satellite internet provider announced the milestone on social media, highlighting its expansion across global markets. The jump from 9 million to 12 million customers represents significant growth in Starlink's user base in a relatively short timeframe.
Starlink's service now reaches 160+ countries, territories, and other markets worldwide. The company has positioned itself as a major player in bridging connectivity gaps, particularly in regions with limited terrestrial broadband infrastructure.
The announcement comes as Starlink continues rolling out service to new regions while maintaining its existing customer base. The company operates one of the largest satellite constellations in orbit, enabling global coverage for its internet service.
Starlink is majority-owned by SpaceX and led by CEO Elon Musk. The service has become increasingly competitive with traditional internet providers in many areas, offering low-latency connectivity in remote and underserved locations.
