PotatoSalad:
It's unlimited data, Not 1TB

I am curious. Are you still getting those fantastic speeds as before? Starlink has been horrible here in Abuja for the past few weeks.

georgee:
Which ISP is this?

FiberOne plans for Lagos.

rookidmart:
I had no idea they did that.
Checked their website and the difference is steep! What I pay for 100mbps in Lagos is what they charge for 50mbps in Abuja. Crazy

It's unfortunate.

For those who live in Lagos, these two plans make sense especially with the increase of Starlink plans. The challenge with fiber connectivity is the frequent outages due to fiber cable cuts.

rookidmart:
What about FiberOne? They have 150mbps at ~53k

I just checked their site and found out that they give differing value at same cost of plans for Lagos and Abuja. Given that I live in Abuja, I won't be using their services.

rookidmart:
What about FiberOne? They have 150mbps at ~53k

Will give them a call and find out if the service is available in my Estate. Thanks.

If I had MTN fiber in my Estate, I would abandon my Starlink. With MTN fiber, you get a guaranteed 150Mbps at 60k. These days, Starlink is so slow and sluggish during the day time.

If Starlink doesn't resolve this ridiculous performance issue of its service by next month, I will have to seek an alternative. Paying so much and not getting value is very annoying. If there's an issue with their base station here in Nigeria, they should provide an alternate solution like they did yesterday.

I said it the other day that, a time will come, this government will claim they never increased petrol price since it came on board.

Starlink is back to Lagos from Berlin.

Challspace:
Yup. Same observation here in Lagos. Looks like their European POPs are much more equipped to handle heavy traffic, which I somehow find insulting.

Looks like we’ve been getting subpar service from them all this time.

I have always suspected this is the case.

Challspace:
Mine is Berlin too, and I bypassed my Starlink with a NETGEAR router. I guess they had an issue with their Nigerian station and are rerouting our traffic through Germany. That’s why latency is so high tonight.

That would explain the unusual high latency. It seems to be faster too. Getting an average of 100+Mbps, which is unusual in Abuja around this time of the day. I am able to stream large files that I typically wouldn't be able to.

Personally, I don't play online games, so I would prefer they leave it on that German server.

It's unable to connect to a satellite even after a reboot.

Challspace:
Am I the only one experiencing the complete blackout tonight?

Starlink is down here too

georgee:
I think it's getting better

It's usually good at nights. Right now, it's slowly creeping back to those disastrous speeds.

Some men are just very useless

QuoteJust1nce:
i would be happy if i got 20Mbps, just see image, for like 2 weeks now
i have to wait till late midnight to use it
during the day, i have had to switch to MTN, cos its practically unusable; especially for video calls

This is serious.

toluxa1:
Yours is still very fast. Here in Abuja, the last 2 days, it's been like 2- 8 Mbps.
Alot of my customers have also reported same. Same on Twitter

Just when I thought I was the only one having these horrible speeds. Though it's been generally bad for the past few days, but today's own is far worse.

Firstcitizen:
We know this but can they enforce anything if Starlink did not apply for licence, take payments and shipped hardware directly from abroad?

The government can prohibit the importation of Starlink. Anyone caught with Starlink can be charged and the kit seized. This is already being done in a number of countries. And, in such instance, if you have to go through the trouble of smuggling Starlink and using it, Starlink can decide to charge you whatever amount and currency it wants, that is between you and Starlink.

However, as long as it's licensed by the regulator, it can intervene where it feels necessary.

This country is a joke

Firstcitizen:
Can NCC actually regulate starlinks if they decide to go rogue and take payments via foreign gateways?

NCC issued them licenses before they could operate in Nigeria, so they have complete oversight on Starlink. When Starlink launched in January 2023, they initially charged in dollars. NCC then forced Starlink to start charging in Naira, in June 2023.

NCC to sanction Elon Musk’s Starlink for unauthorised price hike

The thing is, if FG allows Starlink to get away with this, our local service providers will have no choice than to also increase their own tariff.

You have over 1TB. What difference would 10GB do?

This is the most useless government we have ever had. In other words, Dangote now determines the base price of fuel. This is also to absolve the government from any responsibility of pricing. In the future, Tinubu will claim his government was never responsible for fuel pricing.

Mom007:
Is this not vote buying someway somehow? How's this legal? Anyway, some animals have always been more equal than others in this animal farm of a world.

It's essentially vote buying, but the way he is going about it is legal.

The other day, he said, Trump must win, if not, Kamala will come after him and his businesses, given how open and supportive he has been of Trump's presidency aspiration.

I hope Trump loses. Elon has successfully turned the X platform into a campaign tool for Trump, using algorithms to show only Tweets that favours Trump and all sorts of lies and fake news against Kamala.

They are going to remove N10 from the current price, wicked regime

People are saying that it was a close one. But what you don't know is that 1% could be hundreds of thousands of votes. In other words, it might not be as close as you think in the actual vote count.

Hope Mr I'm carrying my pair can see you now?

Wanni is winning this, even though I hope Kelly wins

Kinzo0000:
Chelsea is winning this

I doubt if chelsea will loose any match again this season

But I pray 🙏 dey don't get result against my club arsenal

Omoh, Chelsea dey ball abeg

What do you have to say now?

Shadomaan7:
Trump can't win the election. He is too bitter and frustrated.

As much as I hate it, Trump will likely win.

Elon has dedicated his whole life to promoting Trump on X. In fact, he has manipulated the algorithm of the platform to only show Tweets that favors and promotes Trump.
