I wish I saw this earlier. Bought Gen 3 monut for 100k, and did not end up using it because it did not work. Ended up using one of the DSTV mounts in my house.

100k?....wow. wielder constructed mine for just 15k

SilverG33k:
Guys please i have a question

Can i take the entire starlink to Ibadan where there is no capacity issues, activate it there, browse with it for like a day, then bring it back to Lagos?

Will it have any repercussions? I don’t plan on changing the address until Lagos is back and i can now activate the starlink

I want to know if this theory would work, i can’t pay that 160k monthly for 40mbps at all

This might be difficult to answer cos I don't think anyone would endure the stress risk of taking starlink to another state to activate, then bring it back to his or her state of residence. Knowing fully well that it may or may not work after returning to your state of residence. It's kind of risky and you wouldn't want to take that gamble on a device you intend to buy for 318k or 520k.
But like someone above me said. You can give it a try

I have used Opay's physical and virtual cards for payments on the Starlink site.

Kuda virtual card works flawlessly, I have used it several times

georgee:
You just got?

Directly from Starlink (which I doubt) or through 3rd party vendors Jumia and co (most likely)
.
I want to believe you are in Lagos or Abuja which is at full capacity and Starlink is currently not activating/onboarding new clients
.
You will have to keep it and wait on starlink for activation when they are ready

Not only Lagos and Abuja anymore, many more states are now at full capacity

dustmalik:
What is going on with Starlink? I just got back to using Starlink after testing the Airtel ODU for two weeks and realized that Airtel caps the speed to 2Mbps after using 1TB. Starlink is virtually unusable. What on earth is going on with Starlink? I can't stream nothing.

Hmm. It's a little bit fair over here. At least today I have been streaming FHD channels and some 4K channels without any issues. Did you connect to your streaming device via ethernet cable or WiFi?

fuckboys:
Omo people still dey use starlink? That expensive junk of box? When MTN fiberX and Airtel ODU Unlimited dey?

You make me laugh in Spanish. Airtel with it terrible network, or is it another Airtel you are talking about? Airtel is almost the worst network for streaming. As a matter of fact. I have 2 Airtel routers and their 5G router I have abandoned because of their disastrous network. I was always in their twitter and Facebook DM disturbing them about their terrible network.
No network come close to starlink presently in terms of reliability

green10119:
Abeg you people should help me before i go vex smash this box for ground 😞 😓 😩 😤 😡 😠 am tired.

How do i activate this empty box without paying out of pocket? The guy i was talking to changed mouth from 86k enterprise to now 190k for the activation.

Am tired boss

190k for just activation, I think that's on the high side na

ugreat:
My people, any way forward to activate Starlink please 🙏

I think you just have to wait. The activation is now unavailable in many state., not just Lagos and Abuja this time around. Thank God some of us bought earlier

georgee:
Guy sef myt just be catching cruise oo

No vex bro

Thanks man.....

georgee:
Fight don start

Smile.... Nobody is fighting. The guy is just being rude . Anyways I have blocked him for the sake of my sanity. I don't have strength to be trading words with anybody on nairaland

brightk:
wen u see elon musk e go ans u

What an impolite reply. It's alright

brightk:
no where in delta is 57k.. starlink is @ capacity

lol.....Since when did delta get to capacity?

brightk:
to all places in delta have access to 57k sub

Yes. Even the busiest cities in delta , which are Asaba and Warri. Sub is still 57k in those 2 cities

dustmalik:
I don't know about the 80k sub, probably because it's not official.

This issue of Lagos and Abuja being saturated is funny and annoying.....most of the multinational companies , government offices, Embassies, banks, etc are all based in Lagos and Abuja, and I guess most of these establishment have all switched Starlink network, may be that's the reason while Lagos and Abuja is filled( Lagos and Abuja can't eat your cake and have it). Nothing of such in rivers state and Delta state

dustmalik:
It's actually 4 Lan (yellow) ports. The gray ports are for telephone. Initially, when MTN started selling the device back in 2018, they used to bundle it with a free desktop phone that reads the sim from the router.

Yea. You are right. I bought it years ago. I think I bought it for even less than 8k. I was about throwing it away or giving it put cos I had no use for it again. I really thank my stars for not throwing it away

georgee:
This one is the one am referring to

E go work without any configuration?

The pics below is the hynetflex router model am using. It was flawless. But I notice it works better and faster with Lan connection than Wifi connection.... It has 6 Lan port

saint2ace:
The Airtel X25 pro 5G router works just fine and still transmits at Cat6 speed. Just make sure you pre-configure your User ID and password before connecting and of course remove any SIM card. Also works as an extender when paired to other routers via LAN.

The mtn hynetflex router doesn't even need any configuration. Is plug and play

I just noticed that one of the best router to use alongside starlink mini is that old mtn hynetflex router. .before now I have been having issues on how to use a third party router without activating the starlink mini router bypass mode. .
I have 3 old routers that I bought previously and was about disposing them. I tried two of the old router without bypassing the starlink, they didn't work very well. I even bought an ethernet switch from jumia for 18k, but the switch turned out to be fake and inferior. It didn't work and i Was very angry.
Sometin just told me to try the hynetflex router because I have not tried it with the starlink before. I tested it with the starlink mini, surprisingly it worked very well without activating the starlink bypass mode.
Presently the internet speed of my android tv box alone is around 80Mbps

fuckboys:
yes it’s in my area, there’s literally a pole in front of my compound

How much is the lowest sub

fuckboys:
I can’t register on mtn fiberX as a new user cos the opt code they are always sending it wrong, how do I go about it?

Is there fiberx in Ur area

Opebiman:
I got the starlink Gen 2 from Konga today..I activated it and added my card. I was billed.. after a while it showed that I need to activate starlink now to continue to use it.

I am trying to activate it and it keeps telling me device already assigned.
also on the app, it says Router unreachable.

My network speed is also very low
27Mbps download and 30Mbps upload

can anyone render any help?

You just said you activated it with your card. I don't think you need any other activation. Starlink mini is more or less a plug and play device.
How did you test your network speed, is it via the starlink app or fast dot com

Why is starlink speed slow recently

ibietela2:
Abeg which VPN una dey use? suddenly windscribe is no longer working properly with starlink anymore...

There are load of free VPN in playstore that works with starlink na. ..... I have not used windscribe before, is it free?

Starlink just gave me my free one month subscription, immediately my first paid subscription ended. Kudos to starlink

ibietela2:
The way you’re saying it it’s like you don’t know it’s pirated services? Sha use VPN on your Starlink

Thanks. I understand your point sha, but Lots of people use Kodi and IPTV, though some IPTV are legal while others are illegal. But I don't think Kodi is illegal presently cos some of their add-ons are paid add-ons while some are free. Beside Kodi is on play store and I don't think play store will allow any unlawful app to be in their store.
Is just like saying Stremio is a pirated streaming service just because they have some free addon you can use to watch movie

dustmalik:
Starlink doesn't give free one month subscription on shipment anymore. When I got mine in February 2023, it came with one month free subscription. At the time, the subscription is added when the kit is provisioned for your account. By the time the kit gets to you, you would still have 3 weeks to use it for free.

I don't think so, I know some guys that were giving free one month subscription last month when de bought starlink mini. Even starlink said am entitled to one free month subscription when I activate my starlink mini or after my first paid subscription expired

I started using starlink on the first of this month, I was thinking starlink was going to give me free one month subscription. But up till now, I have not gotten my on month free subscription from starlink

HeavenlyBang:
Use Ookla.

Also how do Starlink users cope with that abysmal upload?

Lol...... As long it is unlimited, we are managing it. But to be honest mtn 5G is by far more faster than starlink. But fear won't let me use mtn 5G to stream seamlessly

Please why is that when I check my starlink internet speed test with fast dot com, the speed is always lower compared to when I use the starlink app to check the speed. Or it it that starlink app is inflating the speed

revived2:
Tv.dot has every stations on the globe , you just have to choose which country you want to watch from.

Except of course the one that didn't make their server public.

I'm not even conversing about which is better , I only provided an option that's free of payment.

I just check the TV dot garden now, they are trying sha, but most of the channels there are free to air channels and channels extracted from YouTube, most of the premium channels there are not even working. Imagine in America category no HBO , even most of the SHOWTIME channels are my working,... In UK category, no Tnt, non of the sky sports channels are there, most of the sky movies are not there, no discovery channels, no Dazn .
But the garden still trying sha.

senator282:
drop the add-on details you are using

there are many live tv addons, But just use these addons. Daddylive, Loop, Free, sportHd. Samsung TV plus is still very good and has very rich content.
You can incorporate loop and Samsung TV plus to your Kodi pvr simple client addon. I just hope you know what am talking about

georgee:
I threw away anything DSThieVes 2018
I have nice [b]free[/b]apps that works wonder for me..Trust me

Just looking at adding Kodi to it.. I did and uninstalled few days later. It felt like using iPhone for someone that's so use to Samsung phone

Yea you are right. Kodi is not really flexible like some other streaming platforms like stremio and DStv, and that inflexibility can sometimes be annoying. But trust me, Kodi is far far more robust and has many options than others.
No football match you can't watch on Kodi, almost all US and UK live TV channels are in Kodi, movies released 2 days ago are already on kodi. The most important this is that make sure your device has a fast processor and Ram
