Are you a current user of Coollink Konnect ?

God forbid! They are the official people of konnect in Africa. Called them up to 6 times to get them right.
Pro: you can use them any where in Nigeria
Cons: After 20gb you get get throttled to 5mbs/s after 30gb you get 1mbps/s and installation is quite on the high side but it's normal.

ibawon:

No 5g coverage for my side. If ordering Starlink does not cut it, I'll just get a router and manage 25k sub for a month.

I think is still going to work even if there is no 5G coverage in your area.

You first have to check for your location on their website, and that's not a bed I'm not willing to take

The 25k Router you wanna get will give you 4G speed

If you get the MTN 5G router, you will also get 4G speed on it till 5G become available in your area.

Well, the choice is yours

Naaa. 5g isn't my worry if not for unlimited access, but I'll just settle for 120gb per month for now

So since you haven't used them , how did you know MTN is faster ?

I'm not directly comparing them as they are fit for their customers, but I just believe for unlimited package, I'll be getting unlimited usage. For 25k you could get 120gb from MTN/Airtel but for 25k you can't get more than 50gb because of the throttle clause from them. I'd like to know if you currently use them so you can enlighten us better
At the end you'll go for what suits you

How do you know you can't get more than 50gb with them?

There is 25k/200GB MTN hynetflex specific plan.

That's a huge leapfrog! Almost 100 mbps download speed.

Megabyte or megabit?

Ournolly:


How do you know you can't get more than 50gb with them?

Because they specifically said so, you can call them to verify after 20gb your speed reduces to 5mb/s after 30gb younger reduced to 1mbps. I don't know about you but for an "unlimited plan" you can't do much with that. Got 2 4k TVs, 2 computers, and like 4 phones from the family. Fibre would have been better but my location sucks.

Elxandre:

After you consume up to 30megabytes your speed drops to 1mbps.

dustmalik:

Might look into that

I do not know who gave you that information and why I should need to call them.
The 15k per month plan is thus -
30mps shared.
For the first 30gb you get the full speed.
Once you hit 30gb you get 6mps till you hit 45gb and then be throttled to 1mbps .

At night - from 10pm to 6am you get unlimited data allowance that is not counted towards your data.

In that off peak period you get almost the full speed and the data is unlimited.

How you get the 50gb stuff I do not know but I am sure I use them to update almost everything, ranging from my PS4 games to my os and heavy apps.

ibawon:
I am about to Spend 120k on Router and 25k/months for "unlimited" that throttles down to 1mbps after 30GB and caps at 25mbps. I just have to order Starlink this month.

How do you order the starlink please. I cant seem to see their nigerian based website or contact details

Thanks for the input.

Yes I have been using them for a while now

Loool. Just seeing this. There is fiber in Nigeria sir, if not the likes of Mainone and MTN wouldn't be in business. Do your research please

SeunDAssLicker:


Lol. Mr man, Fiber works with cables to the ground, and Sub routers on the streets, powered by 24hr electricity.

No fiber company will survive Nigerias dead electricity that goes on and off, that will be the same way your Fiber goes on an off daily.

What you’re being sold is Broadband disguise MF as Fiber.

And it costs hundreds of Millions in USD to cable just the Island of Lagos with fiber, which can take up to 5years. When did this your unknown company run their cables? Where are their router points

What does your Fiberone offer you?

QuoteJustOnce:


You are a liar. Swift unlimited premium at 25k is capped at 5Mbps. No more!
If you want uncapped speed, then you have to subscribed to capped data amount.
And dont question what people use data for. Some people have kids, who watch Youtube/CN from 2pm ti 8pm
they work at home and need data, while other family members are on Netflix. Their homes are automated and need stable ISP.
See for example, my data usage for July (434GB) and that's on a bad month

Hi, do you mean 5MB/s or 5Mb/s?

alright thanks. That's slow as hell then

I think the $99 price cut is a deposit of the $599. I saw a video on YouTube of a Nigerian whose starlink equipment arrived and was asked to pay for the balance of $501. And he said the monthly running cost is $43

You are very correct. I’m going to wait till they are fully launched and have an office I can just walk into.
