The Falkland Islands is a British territory off the coast of Argentina in South America .

Using a Starlink terminal in the Falklands is, technically, illegal unless you get a specialized license.

The locals are trying to change that but that hasnât stopped them from hooking up their homes to Starlink satellite terminals anyway.

The next day , Starlink users on the island received an email telling them they were about to be cut off.

Comments under Sure's statement on Facebook aren't positive on the Sure statement.

Some users say they would be embarrassed putting their name on the statement.

There was good news on Monday the 10th that many of the Starlink accounts that had been scheduled to be cut off were suddenly back online.

Starlink's coverage map now shows the Islands will officially come online as part of its service.
