From PC Mag: SpaceX is giving select customers a little more time to update old Starlink dishes before the hardware is bricked.
Last month, the company began warning certain users that their dormant Starlink dishes would lose functionality on Nov. 17 unless the hardware received a critical update. However, some people have those dishes in storage that they can't access before the deadline.
SpaceX has now extended the deadline to Dec. 1, but only for enterprise customers, including Starlink hardware resellers, which often own large quantities of stock. Those who can't update their terminals by Dec. 1 can return them and receive a new one. "The deadline to request a replacement is May 1, 2026," SpaceX says.
Tim Belfall, a director at UK-based Starlink installer Westend WiFi, received an email on Nov. 7 about the extension. "That should give Enterprise customers time to rescue remotely stored devices," he wrote on LinkedIn.
