Airtel is not the only ISP in Nigeria. Every ISP in Nigeria is way cheaper than whatever Starlink can offer.

Don't waste your money

Monthly sub of $100 that's about 61k, and one time payment of $500..

This one people are saying it's 100$ monthly I hope it's not true because I can't subscribe 2 bags of foreign rice grin on just a data subscription, Elon musk better make it affordable for us at least 5dollars to 10 dollar's plan should be on ground or let's say 1000 naira for 10gb monthly then we will know Elon musk has come to save us from MTN Airtel, glo data milking industry
lolz even 10k for unlimited but will only allow 20 people to share it it is still okay

It will do away with GSM calls while at home or in the office (did somebody say "VOIP?''), completely replace cable and satellite TV, seriously boost work from home, IoT, smart home security.......

It's a bargain for those who can use it to the fullest!

Airtel mifi is 5000 with 70 to 80gb data and 10k with up to 120gb plus data, even on MTN I get data deal's on 3500 for 24k , Airtel 3k for 20gb it's cheaper I don't think data is expensive with MTN and Airtel it's just poor network issues we are having, so Elon musk should better make it 10gb for 1k monthly if he really want to crash data prices more if not it's expensive more than what we have already

Nigerians can't pay 50k to 100k monthly on data except Its for rich people who use it for business, even some hotels don't have free wifi self, 100k data on all network can get you 1TB in a year presently


Some home and businesses pay that much.

When you say ‘Nigerians can’t pay…’, it’s ambiguous.

Some Nigerians pay upwards of 21k monthly for their DSTV subscription right? Does that mean every Nigerian pays that much?

Of course there are lesser/cheaper plans. Most definitely there would be cheaper data/internet plans by Starlink

Have you ever heard of variety? Is there any internet service provider that has only one plan?

Na wa for una o, allow them to come in and fix their prices, allow Nigerians to decide whether they can pay or not. Are you aware that people currently pay 50-100k monthly on data?


Na wa o, you think say Nigerians broke? Don’t believe the wailing you see on the internet

My brother, thanks for the last paragraph.

Many people don't actually know most people are not as broke as it is being reported or portrayed. When it comes to technology and value for money, you will be surprised how people will rush for subscription.

We looking at generality of the country those who own smartphones are you aware there are people who don't have 500 naira to subscribe data , any body who pays 21k on DStv plus data is definitely comfortable or rich enough to pay for these things we are looking at average Nigerians with 30k or 25k monthly intake

MartinsD12 it depends on what you want and what you need the internet for. You see all those government parastatals, ministries, the military etc, they pay millions on internet yearly.
NGOs, medium to large corporations too, even some homes. You underestimate the power of Nigerias population. Stop believing most Nigerians are poor, na scam.

No sir, Starlink isn’t coming to monopolize internet service provision, they’re only coming to carve a niche (market share) for themselves.

Have you ever subscribed to Smile’s 4G services Or DOTMAC? I guess not, but they’re here doing business and making billions

Smile 4G is a private internet provider , majority of Nigerians doesn't use it , it's reserved mainly for the business class, when it comes with data consumption it's always MTN , Airtel ,glo or 9mobile that comes to ncc monthly data report because they are catering for the majority of Nigerians which is why MTN, Airtel glo is so rich because they believe in carrying everyone alone , smile 4G how many states are they even covering or have services self it doesn't count

Do you know how much a bottle of Glenfiddich 18yrs sells for?

Nigerians consume it a lot.

Bro, money dey this country. Some services aren’t meant for everyone.
Do you have fiber optics at home? I don’t but there are fiber optics companies in Nigeria breaking even yearly

Nah, they won't charge upto that amount in Nigeria, they charge according to the country's financial capabilities, Nigeria won't tax them as much as the other Nations and as such, the subscription will be within the reach of common Nigerians,
That's why Netflix subscription is around $9.99-$19.5 per month in the USA (approximately ₦5k-₦20k) but just ₦1,200 in Nigeria, same services.

Not true. You're comparing apples with oranges. Two different things.

Starlink price is the same globally. Do some digging before you buy that thing. Local is always the best when it comes to ISP
