Good to know. Also went for the roam plan hoping to get good speeds Mtn don frustrate my life

ask4bk:


Ah ? 5??
Not even 20mbps?

Acidosis:


For 10mbps, I have to pay 20k per month. It doesn't make sense since I don't use many devices so I'd rather manage the 5 like that. It's unlimited and unmetered.

Elon Musk no go see my shi-shi whether na Starlink or Twitter Blue

ask4bk:

As long as many for your state or area never enter starlink, on roam you'll get high speed like standard residential people.
But once residential owners are plenty and the area is saturated, they'll get higher Internet compared to us.

I'm happy sha I'm in Abuja and getting high speed with roam.
I use it mainly in a deep rural forest in Niger state and get 250mbps there with roam. Nobody get starlink there 😀😀

We are a group of missionaries who try to bring civilisation and education to thousands of villagers. A work that government can't do for her rural people.

We teach children and adults how to speak and write hausa first, then how to read and write English. We pray with them and teach them our Christian faith too, but not compulsory since a majority are Muslims or people with no religion.

We don't gain from them. We are helping them and supported by people who think of supporting us with funds to do the work in these rural places for these people.

Yes, our life are at risk at times, but it's the cross we've to bear to help these people.

Before now, we don't have Internet at all. We have only mtn 2g that comes with only 1 bar.
It's so rural and remote with no road for hours that network providers decided they can never come in there for the villagers.

Here i am now... Thanks to starlink, I now browse on very good speed.

I am using the RV service (recreational) which means I can use it anywhere in Nigeria and in future, anywhere in Africa without changing service address like those using fixed residential service.
RV costs $53 while normal residential costs $43 in Nigeria.
RV can pause their payment but residential can never stop starlink from charging them whether they use it on not except they cancel their service totally or empty their bank balance.

Disadvantage with RV is that you get slower speeds compared to residential fixed people. You see I'm getting 60mbps while residential people get over 150mbps.

But I don't care. Even 10mbps is enough to stream Netflix on full HD. It's more than I need.

Lastly, I see many comparing starlink to their 5g or fibre in cities. Let it be made clear that STARLINK IS NOT FOR CITIES BUT FOR REMOTE AND RURAL AREAS
Starlink didn't do their service to compete with providers in cities. Even their site clearly says its for remote and rural areas.
But as per se, in Nigeria even our city internet providers are epileptic, that's why many are using it in Lagos and Abuja which shows that our networks are bad.

Men, thank you so much Elon musk for giving us this rare opportunity.

I can't believe I'm in a rural place, 4 hours from nearest civilisation, and I'm having high speed Internet. 😍
