I was today years old when I found out that I can check on my Starlink even when I'm not at home.

Screenshot 1: Checking my Starlink via cloud from 28km away.
Screenshot 2: Normal Obstruction data. Flying bird is an obstruction, planes too. Anything that comes between your roof and the satellite are obstructions. Even if na Kite. Hence, anything 1s or less isn't really an issue.
Screenshot 3: 0.1s to 1.99s Obstructions. Basically negligible.
Screenshot 4: 2s+ Obstructions. None. So! Basically running at optimal condition.

Starlink is supposed work optimally anywhere you are but yeah, I'm guessing they'll be more Satellites over Lagos more than Abuja than anyother states. Plus, I'm not surprised to see that it's not working great close to the boarders of the country. So yh.

First, how did you check it on cloud?
Is it just by going to same app while using another network when you are away from home?

Yeah, we at the extreme borders of Nigeria should have less satellites hovering over us for us to connect too. Being in cities, I guess you can easily move from one satellite to another without hassles on network. That haven't been my experience, but not complaining since starlink is only means of Internet where I am. No mtn, glo or nothing.

Democracy is foreign to us. We will never be good in it coz it doesn't suit us.

Let's choose our presidemt via wrestling fight.
We put Atiku, Obi and Tinubu in the arena and they fight without weapons but bare hands. Who wins becomes president.

Stanley08:
Working good here. It could be anything. Give it time.

Wow!
And look at me convinced that outages are normal on starlink. I get lots of them on mine every 2-3 mins, but not complaining. Good to know there are places you can get seemless service without a second of outage.

Where are you located?
I'm in a bush in Niger state near Benin rep. Maybe that's why mine is bad

Mightyify:

stillme231:

I've unlimited Internet at home. So data not a problem

juliuscapps:
I use this package too but why are you watching yours in Arabic?? Tune to UK sport on Channel 78 for English.

No be the one I see first I go watch? Lol

Prospero01:

I said iptv.

That's TV for smart TV with Internet. Can't give you link.
I don't have dstv again after I knew with iptv I can watch everything in every part of the world for cheaper price

Watching live on iptv in Arabic.

Hi sir...
Can you give an address where we can meet tomorrow in Lagos?
Anywhere, it could even be at your street.
Come with your guys, I come with mine too.
Pls, just an address and I'll give you my number and we meet

Mtchewwwww

These people are sick in timing

myspace:
For my order, Starlink included 14 days free Internet that started counting from the day equipment was shipped. I got equipment 3 days after shipment so that translated to 11 free days.

As your trial is over, have you paid for the next month? Did they cut your internet immediately after the trial like 9ja networks would do?

drizzypat:
lol this is better then


Yes during a certain period it's watts usage tend to go lower

What was calculated on site should be it's starting max power usage..

Ps . What sort of tvs do u have running that doesn't use up to 60watts each( is it a 32 inch?)
Well like what u said probably d other person using d other tv didn't turn his on..

Pls debunk the story about starlink eating 100 watts..

Some of us don dey fear...

Its an old 32 inch in my room. Old TV should consume more

drizzypat:
bro no matter how it is 100watts is quite high

It really isn't about a small set up

With starlinks u will b running it for 24hrs which is 2.4kw per day

Thankfully we get sun for atleast 6 good hrs(not all brightness brings d best power)

U r left with average of 15_18hrs left that'll take from battery whivh is 1.5kw+

Even at 14kw battery that's still alot of power

With fan u get to shut it off from time to time(if it's cooling too much)..

In d end its still much

D mtn 5g hynet doesn't even gets above 40 watts

I was wrong at 100watt.
At night, using only batteries, I checked my house watt usage and it was 112watts. Thats the entire house. The things on in the house giving that 112 watts are: 2 TVs (not sure if other guy put on his own, but mine was on), 3 dstv decoders, 4 energy bulbs, My android Box for tv (left streaming with tv on), and Starlink actively running all internet appliances.

All of this was eating 112 watts.

How much of all of that do you think starlink was consuming?
Their site says 40watts, but i believe it may go lower than that at times from what I am seeing.

With all of these appliances on, I sleep with my battery at 25.8v and by morning it is down to only 25.2v. That is still like 95% of battery.

ibawon:
Me I go torrent wella ooo

Yours never come yet?

ibawon:
Watin happen, it should go with no issues, what downloader are you using?

Read that starlink notified people in US that they know they used torrent and if they continue their account and connection could be terminated and could go to court.

Now, in US torrenting is a crime, but in Nigeria its legal and we can download without vpn on it without wahala.

That's why I'm asking if anyone has used it torrent and what was the experience during and after

Abeg has anyone tried downloading torrent on starlink?

annass227:
Starlink is great only if it works!

Your infinix is connected via 2.4ghz WiFi. You can never get high speed. Connect to 5ghz and see how you'll jump to 150+

yungmayor02:
Imagine Dem kon steal am for night

If e dey your roof, how dem wan take get there for night without you knowing?

grossintel:
I guess it has something to do with the bands the signal is using and interference. I don’t need crazy fast speeds on my phone so am not bothered that much. Bypassing the router is not something I want to do know lol so I’ll just manage it like that.

Not the band but the channel. The band is already 5 Ghz. Also 5 ghz doesn't have much interference if at all any. Devices in the house all use 2.4 GHz like your microwave, your TV, your remote controls, dstv etc. Lots of 2.4ghz signals in a home and they can jam with your WiFi and make it slow. But 5 ghz doesn't have devices at home using it. Only that it has shorter range compared to 2.4ghz but definitely faster

grossintel:
Lol, I have this same problem. I use two phones, my 11 pro max get the 5ghz signal all the time but my 12 pro max only gets the signal at night.

I have searched for solutions but didn’t find any, I feel it has something to do with the antennas or something. If you find a solution please let me know.

Nna eh, the thing tire me.
My blackberry of over 10yrs ago sees the 5 GHz everytime same with my 7 year old lenovo tablet. It never blinks there.
But on my samsung s21 ultra that I use always the 5 GHz doesn't show. It only appears by luck and I catch it and enter. I'm tired. But not like I need that high speed on phone, but I love the assurance that my big phone should be seeing what old phones are seeing.

Solution I got is to change the 5 GHz channel on the router to around 150. But you don't have that setting on the starlink router, except you buy their Ethernet adapter, buy another type of router from market and bypass the starlink router then you can change the channel there and you'll see it always.

But na wetin man go do just because e wan de see 5 ghz? Chai

TheOldGods:
starlink is not unlimited, it 1 terabyte. Go and confirm very well before making quotes. I've already returned mine, starlink is not for people like me. It's a waste of time, space and money. I am always on the internet, maybe not a very heavy user, I used about 100gb a month, and that okay with me. With 20k I get 200gb on Airtel which I can carry around, yet i hardly finish it.

Its unlimited bro. Unlimitedly unlimited.
The 1tb mark is for residential service users and it begins in April and its for USA and Canada. Doesn't affect Europe, Asia or Africa.
Also, the 1tb is only Internet you use from 7am to 11pm. For residential service users they get priority meaning they'll always get 300mbps speed while others on RV Service or portability may get lesser, but only if its congested, if not even they will still get 300mbps.
After q residential service user crosses 1tb in daytime usage he'll become like RV user and be deprioritised but will still get 300mbps if not congested.

I use RV Service and I'm deprioritised and I still get 300mbps everytime coz Africa hasn't been congested yet.

Starlink is only doing that for USA and Canada that is congested but it hasn't even begun yet.

Get your facts right

Dam5reey:
Most of my appliance are energy saving, Imagine Starlink competing power with my Freezer of 120w, it consume more than my refrigerator, TV etc.

Yes power hungry for a router and Dish.. in comparison to traditional DSTV dish or Routers that only consume less than 20w

I have enough backup just noticed an increase and was wondering why

Make sure you put off the snow melting option completely coz that eats power.
It consumes when you starting it and it's searching for network, but after it has found and it's idle, it should be consuming around 40w

TheOldGods:
My biggest problems about starlink is not the fact that I need electricity. I have solar and can power it, if all comes to worse, I'll get a battery backup for it. Now here comes the problem, I go out alot to shoot video's, create content etc. That's where the router comes in place. If the router has access to battery in built, then I could squeeze it in my bag or my car when ever I move out. What's the point of paying 33k for data, while getting a small router and payin 10k extra just to have data to use outside? Maybe starlink is not for me,

For the usage you explained, starlink residential is not for you. What everyone is getting is residential service which you can't move around if not it won't work outside your registered service address (your house).
But there's a service called portability which is extra 11usd on top of the 43usd. If you activate that, you can take it to any part of Nigeria and use it flawlessly though you'll be deprioritised outside your house.
I use RV Service and pay $53 montly. I can use mine anywhere and on the go.
But wahala is that the setup is bulky. You can't be carrying it around everywhere like that just coz you want Internet.
So please stick to your mtn or airtel mifi and carry it around for your work. Starlink isn't for everyone. It's for people in rural places who need Internet, and for in cities who use high amount of data and want to pay cheaper monthly for unlimited high speed Internet.
No isp in Nigeria will give you unlimited for 40k. You should be paying like 200k and it won't even be unlimited as such. The best option is fibreone but its 150mbps is even 70k and don't know if its true unlimited.

Starlink isn't for everyone

aieromon:
Your dish installation on the Starlink thread brought me here.

Do you think it will be able to withstand heavy winds?

Don't know oh. But it looks firm. I just hope it does. So far no wahala. I live in desert so there's constant sand wind and haven't been a problem, but rain wind could be. I will see by April when rain begins

grossintel:
I switched it to 5ghz too and started getting almost 300mbs.

I've the 5ghz on my smart TV since it needs to stream high definition videos on iptv and on ps5

On phone I hardly get the 5 GHz cos it doesn't show up on my phone always. At times it shows and I connect but most times it doesn't.

Do you get the 5 GHz always showing on your phone?

Dam5reey:
Starlink is power hungry I was not expecting this consumption so I never bothered researching it was when I got I realised increase on my inverter consumption, had to check specs to see it's consumption rating 50w to 75w average.

Starlink is for those who have solved power problem and already using other ISPs.

I use Swift WwTx 10Mbps, paying 28k monthly, was frustrated recently, their service will go off for hours.

Starlink is just 4k addition monthly and outages is less than 1 minutes if any. Speed is close to 300Mbps on 5GHz.

Bro, mine eats 100w.
Is that what you calling power hungry? That's like a ceiling fan.
Anyway, for me I've enough batteries so I don't feel the 100w. Maybe your backup is small that's why u feel it

dustmalik:
Thanks for sharing. How much would the 14k Watts of batteries cost today?

That's 6 batteries of 12v 200amps.
I doubt you'll go buy inverter and batteries now just because of starlink. It's an investment done for light in the house. Then you now control the devices you use with it at home.
I only use 2 TV, starlink and lights.
From when sun goes down till it comes up again next day, the batteries won't even go down to 90% charge coz we don't use much things at night.

ModCaller:
Is this mtek battery still a available?

Sold
