I"m experiencing a great internet speed at home, but no so in the office. I just hope I won't be affected much by the glitch! Have a great day to you.

@gofsey Probably. Been having too many problems with my internet connection in the past and my work was greatly affected. For the past three weeks it has been really stable and I'm quite happy about it and I don't want anything bad to happen again.

With all the satellite that we have now in the space I am not surprised that some will soon fall down. I suppose they will disintegrate before reaching land.

Yes, they make it with combustible material but my agent who is tracking the story says someone snuck in some rocks. They might not burn that easily.

Strange things happening in the skies today for sure. But it does not touch the good people.

@Ronrybs Okay okay. Got you. They have to get the satellites done before sundown. There is no electricity up there.

So far my internet connection is working. May be many of these have backup links too.

Yes, that is what I think. They have smart sensors on board that detects malfunctioning. Then, they switch the relay to another neighboring satellite.

Many looked up in fear, but everything is fine. Nothing to worry. The glitch was set right within hours.

I really hope they get the satellites back in order. It should be possible to navigate them to their proper trajectories. Hopefully it is possible it is a software issue or that they have a backup chip to take over the operations. That could be very expensive to do.

@gofsey , I hope so because people need their important communications.

@lookatdesktop That is why they have speeded up the entire process. Hope that bug does not get into our phones.

Yes, it is like you say But getting the backup needs a lot of carefully coordinated front action. Let us hope this thing will find the solution soon.

No, they have found out what went wrong and the person responsible. So, it will be safe.

@cacay1 No Erly, but sometimes I look up at the sky and become frightened. What if the satellites crash down?
