I paid for one month IPTV subscription today from the link posted here. It's working so far but it's not worth it in my opinion. Most of the interesting shows don't stream. It will just be writing playback error. I think I will stick to streaming movies and series from websites like net naija

If it's that 3K own from those twoone people, I'm inclined to agree that it's kinda trash. Glad I didn't pay 1 year own. Error up and down.

I have moved to a new address and my current address is waitlisted but less than 5 miles from my new address, I was able to set my location to that place.

Hopefully when I finally hang my Starlink, i will get reception. Pray for me 😭

@dustmalik it worked 😅

Initial test was 200Mbps+ but rain never stop since then. I never see pass 70/80Mbps since that yesterday morning.

Anyways it works sha. Using like this. The installation was so tidious. Baba climb water tank, then climb across 2 buildings. A whole thing.

Maybe we are talking about different IPTV service... Not sure it's same one I have been using we ar both referring to... It cant be

Yeah, I did, but mine is 32k. Maybe your guy is on roaming plan, hence 40k

Re: Starlink Unboxing & Speedtest In Nigeria by dustmalik: 10:56pm On Jun 07, 2023
So, according to this mail, for existing residential customers, we'll continue to pay 32k until December 6, when it will be changed to 38k. However, new Starlink customers will pay 38k henceforth.

I think they are giving people cash back on the payment for the dish as against the new price.

Do you have money in the account? I saw someone somewhere say they will debit you N50 to validate your card when you try to add it which they will return later. So maybe you are using a zero balance card. I have not personally tried it sha as this increase to 38K per month from December still dey vex me. Because even if you try to use dollar card now to pay, the amount that will be deducted wont even be $42 again, it will be higher
