It is far cheaper than all the virtual cards as of today.

Nah, it's not. I have the card.

I think I prefer to stick with the dollar payment too. The problem is, in the absence of an option to choose between USD and Naira, if the payment is quoted in naira and you use a USD card, you'll probably be charged like $44.5 or so for that 32k payment

Yep. You'll pay more. Currency conversion charges.

I don't understand what you mean by using it anyhow. I paid 400k plus for the hardware and paying 32k monthly, soon to be 38k, and you want to tell me how to use it?

Bro, we have to use it to our satisfaction. Even Starlink had to shelve the idea of implementing speed throttling after 1TB and then made it unlimited. After paying all that money, i can't be managing the usage.

I canceled my plan because I had to move for some days. I hope when I reactivate they would send me email, because Zenith just sent email for virtual card. But the dollar amount still pay me. Na $130 I dey leave for my card.

Maybe it's cos this page is still reading $$, that's why I have been unable to save my NGN card details undecided

In case you're on this thread and still considering whether to get Starlink or not, here's an unboxing, setup, and speed test for the device I got last month.

I'm based in North-central Nigeria, learn about my experience here:

This has effectively nailed the coffin for those Shylock traders selling the kit for 550K and above since every Lagbaja and Tamedun can now easily buy the kit with so much ease. Progress!

Bros, what I said is VERY CLEAR. If what you need is 10TB then by all means use 10TB.

I didn't say when you want to use it, you should not use it. No need to start listing how much you paid or didn't pay. Many ISPs have fair usage policy for a reason.

I'm not telling you how to use it. Use what you need. Not because it's "Unlimited" then it means even what you don't need you download 'just because'. What if Starlink has a 'hidden' cap or somehow you get deprioritized?

No need for aggression big bros. If you need 100TB, use 100TB. My phrasing is intentional.

If after what I have explained, you still don't see it from where I stand, I am sorry. I apologize. Use however you wish. Ma binu. Na me fok up.

This mentality is the problem. If he paid 50K or 100K is that now reason for him to "thread softly"? My phrasing is intentional but I understand that fuel is 500 naira and everybody is just looking for what to be angry at.

Not because you paid 1million for internet means you should download a 100GB file you do not need or even want sef lol.

WHAT'S THE POINT?! Because you paid 400K?
