Hendrixmalo:
Pls has anyone received something like this from starlink before ?
Cus I’m confused

Do you download from torrent sites?

amigo1088:
If I buy second hand, will I be able to keep using the 38k monthly subs?

It seems everywhere in Nigeria is congested

Tell the person you want to buy from to confirm from customer service if he/she can transfer ownership and change address to yours while you still keep using the residential plan already on the kit at your own address. Before the suspension of residential and roaming plan in Nigeria, it was very much possible but right now, I can’t say.
N.B
Tell the person to screenshot the response he/she gets from customer service and send to you just to be on a safe side.

1Salaam:
I just called them and they said it is based on congestion. Areas congested cannot activate the residential plan only new areas like jalingo osogbo .. correct me if I’m wrong

Well if you know any location that is currently open for new customers for the residential plan, kindly share it with the forum, with a screenshot attached as proof. As for jalingo and osogbo you mentioned, those two locations are currently at full capacity as well on Starlink site.

purplekayc:
So it's 38k per month for the residential? Even for new kits?

You guys should stop repeating this same question please for God’s sake.
It is already clearly written on this same page multiple times that you can only activate the BUSINESS PLAN on a brand new kit. The 38k residential plan only still remains for OLD CUSTOMERS that were able to activate their kit with the residential plan before the suspension of residential and roaming plans for new customers In Nigeria.

toluxa1:
Has anyone gotten bill after the 27th of January and still got 38k bill. Basically want to know if they have rescinded the decision to increase price.

For now the 38k still stands. Price increase hasn’t been implemented yet.

veekay:
Hi. Quick one please,so if I buy a kit say from Konga or a reseller, can I subscribe to a residential plan? Cos on the app, I saw an option to scan a code or something if you already have a kit.

Yes you can also buy from konga or any other reseller but you will still only be able to subscribe to the business plan (₦159,000 monthly) for now.

Ile Ife, Osun State

The residential and roaming plans are currently suspended in Nigeria for new customers due to the price increase Starlink is trying to implement but the business plan is still available and you can still order for a Starlink kit under the business plan option on Starlink official website for NGN626,300 (amount is for a new standard actuated kit NGN590,000 + NGN36,300 shipping and handling fee). But i will only advise you to go for the business plan if you know you can afford the 159,000 monthly business plan subscription fee and also have it in mind that soon there is surely going to be a price increase on all Starlink subscription plans.

bong4:
Please how does one get started with the Starlink package?

Which state are you in

americanahh:
Please I live in Anambra state and I want to tell my senior brother to buy this starlink for me because of computer stuff cos am into tech but my problem is that is the service still reliable and fast or is it having glitches and network failure or not providing good services like before or should I just go and tell him to buy Airtel 5g unlimited router for me. I fit consume more than 1TB per month.

Starlink service is still very much okay and their customer service is still ready to replace your Starlink kit with a new one if your kit develops any issue while in use all for free. Can still get over 100Mbps at my area in surulere lagos even during the day time. Just have it in mind that they will surely increase the price of subscription soon.

Good morning guys. Just received the usual automatic payment reminder mail from Starlink now. I’m glad to inform you all they are still charging the old price (38k) for now and I’ve successfully made my payment the manual way instead of waiting for them to deduct it automatically before I go hear say price don change on Starlink portal

siRememovicTM:
Please keep us updated if you're still charged 38k

Will surely do

georgee:
My next payment due date is February 17

Mine is tomorrow 1st. I don’t know why I’m having this feeling that the 50% increase approved by the federal government also applies to Starlink which is why we haven’t heard anything about the new price yet. But who knows, I might be wrong. I will update the forum tomorrow of the amount my card is charged tomorrow. Hopefully still the 38k.

jmaine:
At the moment, the invoice is still showing 38K at my end.

My preview next invoice on my app is still showing 38k too just want to know if anyone has actually paid for subscription between 27th (date Starlink says the new price takes effect) to date

SourYoghurt:
I got an invoice and the charge is 38k

Which day was the invoice sent to you

Has anyone paid the new subscription price

yemkoguru:
I heard the 20k sub is nonsense and can be used finish in just 1 week of 1 month. is the 35k sub the same? Maybe can be used finish and only difference is speed. Please be sure of the 35k sub before replying. ano wan knack head and later regret

When I bought the 5G router sometime last year when I was having issue with my Starlink dish (in April I think), it came with the 20k unlimited 20mbps plan and I used it through out the month without exhausting it. But from people’s experience I’ve read online, I believe the download speed gets throttled after using 1 terabyte of data.

confluence:
The speed is far better than most Nigeria Telecom companies around here,in my own case I forced the service on two of our tenants each resident in a 1 bed apartment, I took 120k upfront from each of them and peg their speed to 2Mbps, still looking for More clients to do same for

Cool business
Me I don’t have tenants to force my own on

yemkoguru:
yh, but Airtel too might increase rate soon

True but the 50% increase approved still won’t be as high as Starlink’s 75k (100% increase)

odimbannamdi:
Mine starts end end of next month too. Still thinking whether I should continue or port. But I can't deny that I am getting massive value from Starlink. I may just continue afterall

Yes Starlink is really giving us value for our money but the new price is quite high especially for those of us who mainly use it for just entertainment which is why I’m considering switching to airtel by this month end and since I already have the 5G router. I don’t have who to share the cost with otherwise, it would have been the best solution for me. I’m just going to miss the speed, reliability and top notch customer support of Starlink. Imagine Starlink sending a new replacement kit twice to me with a free one month subscription as compensation for the inconveniences experienced without charging a dime. Which Nigeria ISP can offer such a service

yemkoguru:
nothing like lucky again turning to other ISP

Since I already have the airtel 5G router, I’m think about subscribing the 40Mbps for 35k and just cancel my Starlink subscription before my next billing date

yemkoguru:
I spend very less time with mine but can exceed 1tb easily within 1 week. next 38k Sub tomorrow

Wow just in one week! Can’t just imagine how much data you will consume if you fully utilize yours for the whole month. You’re lucky your first 75k payment will be starting towards the end of next month. Mine starts from the 1st of next month

GiggsTk:
Are we still able to activate any plan at all in Lagos, because putting in my address for activation here, I get "No services are available at this address. Please try a different address."

I read someone’s post on Twitter saying Starlink has put on hold activating new devices in Lagos until the new subscription price is implemented which is January 27th but I don’t know how true it is.

ibawon:
I when I first got it body dey sweet me. Now it's mostly to work and for everyone and my IOT to be connected.

Na so e sweet me too then

ibawon:
Oya, let me add that for the first time since February of 2023 I used 2TB on my Starlink. All thanks to Gamepass. However, this month is almost half and we just dey drag feet at less than 500gb

Wow that’s huge. I’ve only been able to hit the 1TB mark twice since I started using mine since 2023. That’s the beauty of unlimited data. You will keep downloading until you eventually runout of things to download. These past few months, I hardly go above 800gb before the month runs out

yemkoguru:
You know why!
1). thread is for big busy guys
2).

Starlink don do us strong thing. But they can’t be blamed because nobody wants to run a business at a loss

Why the silence on this forum?

sonickay:
I missed that news. That's great but I pity the loss of profits that will result from exchange rate differentials for Starlink

I believe it’s just temporary. Won’t be surprised if the new price finally takes effect by January 2025.

sonickay:
So, did Starlink step down on the new charges? I received a mail that I am due to pay 38k instead of the expected 75k.

I sprinted to my browser and the payment went through surprisingly?

Has anyone paid 75k or it's not taking effect today?

Already in the news last month that Starlink has suspended the price increase for now

Good afternoon everyone.
Please I’m not trying to derail the thread.
Has anyone made use of the LENOVO XIAOXIN PAD PRO 2025. The tab seems to have better specs than the Xiaomi pad 6 or Xiaomi redmi pad pro and it’s just under $300 on Aliexpress?

oluwapoju:
Starlink is back online

Same here

Same here in surulere Lagos. Starlink is offline.
I experienced something like this around may this year but it was around 2am in the midnight and it took 20 minutes before Starlink resolved it. It was world wide then not sure about this time around
