Don't Buy Starlink Now, Wait Till They Accept Naira by loanky(op):
Now that starlink is present in Nigeria, I see a lot of people rushing to order the hardware. Currently, you can only pay for the service in dollars which is definitely going to be at black market rate.

Since they're now available in Nigeria, you should be able to pay for it in the local currency which is likely going to be way more cheaper if that happens.

It depends on how urgently you need reliable internet. If you need it now, give Starlink your dollars 😀😀😀

I keep telling people, if you cannot afford starlink, continue to use the data network provider you are currently using instead of advising people to join you in your cadre.

All fingers are not equal.

Most Nigerians cant afford Starlink. it is damn expensive for the average joe.

Ntel and the rest broadband companies in Nigeria are struggling to get customers.

Mtn and the rest of mobile companies will beat Starlink in terms of affordability, easy access, price and mobility, Starlink only win in speed

Are you comparing neflix 3600 naira monthly subcription with almost 20k monthly sub for starlink that is minus installation fees of almost 300k

Even with the popularity of netflix in Nigeria, Do you even know that Nigeria isnt recognised by neflix in terms of revenue for the company

It's even more than that! The amount you see on the site shows the Naira equivalent of the price which is CBN. In reality, you'll have to pay in dollars. That's almost ₦450k in black market rate. Most of these people on nairaland forming rich guys probably don't know this!

But you can't pay with naira Visa/Mastercard cards though. Attempt to pay pops up a dollar charge of $587.

Thank God, if you can afford things like this. More than 80% Nigerians can't afford to eat three times daily. This isn't even a joke.

Inflation and unemployment are at an all time high. I'm sure the vicious cycle of poverty comes to mind.

Look around you, who are the people building all those houses.

Guy some Nigerians get money, at the same time some Nigerians are still poor.

Nigeria has over ten million people who are living the best of this life.. That number is enuf for Starlink..

Another thing is don't listen to all those stats..

They are inaccurate..
