My mini speed this afternoon. Peaked at 190 mbps.

Which part of lagos?

Ii thought I was the only one

You have VPN on device that you got the warning from if I am correct?

ibietela2:
I don't, and I have VPN on specific device, but with an external router I can have VPN on the network level.

Could it be a router and cable problem? i just ran an advanced speed test and got this. Which is weird.

ibietela2:
Are you sure something is not wrong with your router or cable?

I will be passing my cables via ceiling this week, na how to pass this parapet be my issue

I use VPN regularly so i no fit get this kind problem.

ibietela2:
see

I had no problems with this as it came with no account on it. I only needed to enter my serial number and registered freshly. It saw mine as a clean empty box.

GiggsTk:
Taking out the problem of purchase, registering/activating it is my new concern.

Was there this congestion at the time you made your purchase or activation?

If so, were you able to select a congested location as your service address at the time of activation?

When you say portal. On the starlink site? i dey do am and i never get warning.

ibietela2:
Starlink portal, I left some files to SEED

Like i said i bought mine at computer village and it was seemless. It is up to you sha.

GiggsTk:
Thank you.
Just checked though and it doesn't seem any of them have in stock, so I might have to resort to buying from the official starlink website

If you want same price as site, buy from Konga or Jumia. I bought mine from computer village at 460k with no account on it and I had no issues installing it myself.

GiggsTk:
Morning everyone
I'd appreciate help with these questions

1. I'm at Ojodu Lagos and I want a residential plan which is currently unavailable...is there any chance of switching plans whenever this becomes available?

2. Premised on the first question...Which is best - buying from Jumia or Konga and buying from Starlink themselves....the ones from Jumia/Konga, can I try out different locations to see if I'd find an available service address not too far from me when I get the device before settling on a plan or it's already locked to the roaming plan, because I understand that for buying from Starlink I need to register those addresses ahead first at the time of purchase

My residential plan has been activated. I am still getting the same 20-60 mbp/s on speed test. The difference is that it is true to the speed test😂. As in when I download , download speed is the same unlike when I was on mobile and it was capping me at 500mbp/s to 1mbp/s

Now I don’t cry thinking why am I spending this money for this mediocre speeds

ibietela2:
What is the use of UNLIMITED when you can’t even download a 500KB image in 2 seconds?

Ah my MTN na beast oo. I Dey download 1gb like say I Dey transfer files from external hard drive.

The first time it happened to me I thought I downloaded the wrong file.

Like if I want to download a 10gb file sharp sharp within 5 to 10 minutes. Na MTN I Dey use. But na data e go burn.

Ah well. Only if Mtn was offering unlimited

ibietela2:
The good thing is, even though its slow it still BEATS whatever MTN is giving me in this area... na steady light be my major problem.

ibietela2:
You guys should be carefully o, I just got warning for torrenting... always use VPN

Where did you get the warning?

ibietela2:
I think I am the only one with SL in this area, and I still have network issue maybe na the obstruction

I don leave am for the almighty. Thank goodness say I don book for residential wey go activate on the 12th.

PotatoSalad:
Na where Moses hit his staff.
Just kidding.
Starlink satellites are designed to avoid transmitting around the equator to prevent interference with geostationary satellites. Na why you see that gap. Everything good

Ah okay thanks

Quick question. Does this obstruction mean I am not getting the fastest internet connection I should be getting?

QuoteJust1nce:
Baba, we still waiting on your expose oh

lol nothing much. i just changed my plan and residential was available.

QuoteJust1nce:
Probably lives in Epe or Badagry

Lol I
Stay at ikeja

BadMaster:
I hope you know the difference between downlink and download, Mbps and MBps?

Regarding speed, as long as there are no obstructions in the view of the dishy and installed, preferably, at the highest point in your location, there's really nothing much you can do to improve speed.

Make sure to split the 2.4/5.0Ghz frequencies. For devices close to the router, use the 5Ghz frequency, it's faster.

😂😂 I will not buy it if I did not know the difference between downlink and download 🙃😩. But thanks

dastudent:
I am currently getting like 7-15 mbps on speed tests but really when I download , it is usually hard to get 1mbps speeds. Which is confusing.

Good news. I was able to change my new device plan from Roaming to residential in Lagos. Hopefully i don't get stories that touch at the end of the month.

tosin1570:
What is the average download speed you are getting if you don't mind me asking

I am currently getting like 7-15 mbps on speed tests but really when I download , it is usually hard to get 1mbps speeds. Which is confusing.

tosin1570:
Good morning my people, anyone in Lagos on roaming package, what is your average speed struggling with buffering streaming IPTV

Yes i am kind of struggling with streaming too but it has been stable this evening. Download speeds for me is the wahala.

Hi Everyone,
So i got a brand new starlink and installed it today. Challenge is that i am getting speeds up to 112Mbps on the speed test but when i try to download anything, i does not even hit 1Mbps. Does anyone know what the challenge is?

They had to add that formed briefly after end sars �

Question is. Was SARS a menace to the society? Where they extorting and killing people at will?
If your answer yes. This weird arguement is invalid. Government looking for ways to rubbish the demands of the masses by paying individuals to find rabbits inside hats.

Having sex with Hiv patient more than once without contracting It

It is actually quite possible if she is on her meds and HIV can be tricky. The chances of someone actually getting it from someone who is positive is very slim unless your immune system is compromised just like COVID

7.5 for that trash

You did not like or understand it and you think it is trash. That is fine. Does not mean people did not enjoy it.

There is something strange about deaths in hotel after sex. I hope it's not some kind of ritual things on the side of the hotel operators. Just an observation

lol it's the same way footballers slump and die na. No be rocket science.

Teewhy2:
if it is in Nigeria, you will hear can't the ambulance driver see that we are occupying Nigeria, if he tire he go find alternative road.

Same mentality of people excusing illegal things in Naija. Why you too no do Yahoo, we die here. Why you too no go do politics wey you dey complain. People are now numb to the anarchy in the country as the security officials and the government just dey do their own.
