This is 5G.. no way 4G can be 660mbps..

Even if it’s 5G sef. There’s something off about that screenshot.

I had to switch to airtel because of how sick my MTN network was at my area of Abuja (Gwarinpa)

660mbps in Nigeria. Cap

Bonzojoko:
Please I have many questions. How did you exceed the $20 monthly limit when using Nigerian ATM cards? If you didn't use Nigerian ATM card to pay, how did you pay for the starlink kit and subscription in USD? Also can you test online gaming using starlink internet and see if it's smooth. I use Airtel to play online games. Sometimes it's smooth but most times, it lags.
What is the average latency like? I can see 60ms from the picture you posted. Is it always around 60ms?

What does latency mean in this case pls

There is nothing wrong with the screenshot. In fact, one can get better speed in some areas were 5G coverage is very good.

Below is a speedtest I just did now.
I carried out this test using a Xiaomi Poco f4. You might get better speed on other devices with better modem and antenna.

Bonzojoko:
a maximum of 128 devices can connect to starlink router at the same time. The further away you are from the starlink router, the lower the internet speed. Also the more devices connected to it, the lower the internet speed if those devices are actively using the starlink internet. Starlink internet kit(dish and router) also needs 24 hours electricity to function just like DStv. No electricity, no starlink internet

Chai this light own is an issue

CSTRR:

If you subscribe 32k data on mtn every month, you can't finish it in a month.
So it's more or less unlimited.

Plus other benefits you will get on calls.

Elon musk is a scam.

How do you people even think with your brains ?

Will that 32k data on MTN serve your family if they all connect to it daily ? Much less if they use it on their laptops, smart TV or console

Starlink is unlimited at 100mbps = 12mb/s actual and can connect up to 100 devices at a time

You people will open mouth waaaaa

Starlink is not meant to be used alone, if you want to fine, but it would be properly utilize on compound usage

Stop comparing your one phone you use data on monthly to the use case of starlink. Rest.

No cap. I use MTN 5G on phone + router and can confirm the speed.

Does it use the same data plan as normal MTN 4G

Bonzojoko:
I am not saying the speed is low. The speed is decent. I am saying the speed will drop when many devices like 50 phones connected to the starlink router are using the starlink internet at the same time

Any idea on the distance from the router device before the WiFi starts to flicker and then disconnects due to long distance?

And your browsing and downloading speeds correlates with this screenshot ? Like high speed downloads ?

Phone - normal MTN data bundle plan
Router - HynetFlex bundle plan

People get money for this Nigeria o

aieromon:


Phone - normal MTN data bundle plan
Router - HynetFlex bundle plan

So mtn hynetflex data can be used with the 5G router and the speeds will be 5G speeds? I did one year hynetflex plan before 5G was released so I want to know

Yes

internet latency is the time delay or how long it takes data to travel between the sender and the receiver. It is more important in online gaming

The new Starlink device I received has no LAN port. It is only Wifi.

Hello.. Could you please do another speed test. But this time change the server to UK and USA. Your current ping to lagos is showing 60ms.

This is for those of us that play online gaming.

Thanks

my Airtel internet ping/latency is usually 40-60ms to Nigerian servers but when I play online games which connects to foreign servers, I get 140-160ms. The Nigerian starlink internet user said on his YouTube video comment section that he gets around 50ms ping when he connects to Nigerian servers.. that means online games which connects to foreign servers will also have a ping of around 150ms when using starlink internet from Nigeria. Online games are playable when the internet ping is below 200ms but the lower the ping, the better. Ping above 200ms causes lag which messes up your gameplay. If only game developers will create African servers for their games but I guess Africa is useless to them. South African gamers are also complaining they get 150ms while playing online games which is unfair considering you are playing against European gamers who normally get 20ms ping.

Speedtest to UK and US locations now added to my First Post.

nice. Online games usually connect to best available servers close to your location. That means playing online games from Nigeria will automatically connect to UK servers which will get you 128ms ping when using starlink internet(according to the picture you posted). That's better than 140-160ms I normally get when I play online games using Airtel. I will post a picture of the ping I get depending on the server location I connect to when playing online games using Airtel internet

Link to buy please.

These are decent speeds especially for Unlimited. Which is not very common in Nigeria. However, the startup/equipment costs of $600 will make it NOT a feasible option for most. I expect that $600 cost to come down after some time though. Good option anyway, as data usage continues to explode, with streaming, IPTV, etc.

People living in very close quarters, such as apartments, should be able to share one connection though. By connecting a switch to the main router and hard-wire to the other units.

this is the only way to make it easily affordable. People living in a block of flats should contribute money for the kit and also share the monthly subscription payment. The starlink kit will be connected to a flat that has inverter for 24 hours electricity and the flat owner should pay less for supplying the electricity needed to power the starlink hardware

People dey get more than 660mbps with 5G phones in Lagos.

For those comparing mtn hynet flex with starlings please stop o. I use mtn hynet plan the 2TB for 1yr and it gets exhausted within 8months. Basic Usage is just for streaming and few movie downloads. If not for the pricey kit of $600 for the starlink (unlimited) I'll have switched

Bonzojoko:
you are right but what do you think the average Nigerian student will do when he knows he has unlimited internet? My guess is to keep on downloading anything possible. May even start selling downloaded games/movies

the average Nigerian student will not all be at home at the same time doing the same thing, moreover you don't even need much data speed to do anything these days with under 10mbps to do everything anyone can ever do

NwaliE01:
Am using 5G at a very cheaper rate. Why are this guys always scamming Africa?

I subscribe $30 monthly with free (unlimited) calls, SMS and MMS nation wide.

You can literally make calls free with streets free phone booths but my people still pays for every seconds of their calls.

how do you go about it bro
