Yes, the installation cost is quite high. However, that will come down with time. No, it's not easily movable. As you will be connecting to a stationary router that's hooked up to the satellite dish mounted somewhere at your property. Moving it is possible, but it will be inconvenient for sure if you plan on moving it to work and then use it at home at the same time.

SadiqBabaSani:
Hope they find a way to bring down the installation cost.

I also want to ask, if this starlink which reportedly has antenna to be installed will serve me in my workplace or I can only use it from home.

i ams sure Musk will have his marketers in Nigeria who will push the services to people who don't know what Starlink offers

Firstly, The guy with the book looks sus and thirsty af.

Secondly, The Hardware is 300k+ so unless we get a subsidized rate, majority of Nigerians won't be able to afford it.

Thirdly, The Hardware retail shops should be available in Nigeria because we can't buy via the starlink website, its in dollars and the aboki dollar rate is not smiling.

Re: Nigeria Is The First African Country To Use Elon Musk's Starlink by Commenthin: 6:40pm On Jan 31, 2023

Ignorance, bad education and lack of exposure dey worry you.

They implement it here because we're the World poorest country but use the most expensive data cost per capital, and we have the population to profit there pocket.

This are some of the reasons most developed countries refer to Nigeria are the gaint of Africa.

Nigeria is doing great.

Yet some people will still be angry with this news. They dont like any good thing happening to this country. But they want to rule the country.

Sorry but this is a consumption news.

Says nothing about greatness.

Just like how a kid who camped overnight to buy an apple product isn't any great.

It has an innovative outdoor unit that auto-cleans itself and tracks the Starlink satellites. The antenna is also mobile and easily installable.

Calm down!
Starlink isn't for those who can't afford 3 Square meal / day.

Those that it will benefit now know themselves.

Maybe in two years, it will be more affordable

[color=#000099Most Nigerians are illiterate and all the new which comes out of it is all lies. They were claiming that Nigeria is the first country to start Amazon last week. South Africa and Ghana including Namibia Botswana started in in December 2022. Till today there is no Amazon in Nigeria. Now they have come up with another line about sterling When other African countries started selling sterling hardware 5 months before Nigeria and the people claim they are the first in Africa. Illiteracy is a massive problem][/color]

Watch how Buhari will start to say he brought starlink to Nigeria. Just as Tinubu is claiming he brought econet to Nigeria.

Meanwhile the truth is, both starlink and econet decided by themselves to come to Nigeria after doing their homework.
