oh, thank you so much. Does that mean i can buy using my normal GTB debit card?

I used Access Visa card. Have no idea about the normal GTB card. You can try it though..

georgee:
Truth is Lagos is at full capacity for now. Starlink has given you correct information from their website. Whether you buy from Konga, Jumia or any other dealers, you won't get that 38K residential plan for now until more satellites are deployed to cater for more starlink subscribers in areas with full capacity like Lagos

Please what are the other “plan options” and “speed” that you would recommend that can carter to my needs ( gaming, streaming 4K and heavy downloads) at least before the deployment of more satellites since I may not be able to get the base 38K residential plan. I really want to get it soon cuz I have a feeling that the price for the hardware might increase soon
Thanks

Starlink has increased residential plan from 38k to 75k. Hmmm. This economy.

jmaine:
From your screenshot from the support desk, did Starlink just admit we will likely be seeing a price increase in the nearest future? 😳😳

It has happened. I expected it, but this is too steep... Oboy! .. .

Standard (Residential): ₦75,000
Mobile - Regional (Roam Unlimited): ₦167,000
Mobile - Global (Global Roam): ₦717,000

I hope starlink introduces cheaper residential Lite in Nigeria

Ideally okay, but realistically too much... I can't justify paying that amount..

Hopefully so.

Chai.... E don happen...100% increase
Cant one pay in advance?
Enjoy my next month in peace first..


In other news, Haapy Indeppendence

75k sounds high but that's just $45.

Blame Tinubu and government for making the naira useless. Someone who before being presido said he'll reduce the purchasing power of the people. Soon we may be buying bread 500k, because that's how useless the naira currency will become.

Nonetheless, the roaming was exaggerated. I thought it was meant to be $53-55. That should have been like 85-90k naira.
I guess they've realised there are many Nigerians on the roaming who are slowing the satellites down in Urban places. So they want to discourage people with high price for roaming.
They even said, if you no wan pay, you are free to cancel your starlink 😁😁. Dem no send una papa.

Once again, thanks Tinubu for destroying us.

I knew this was going to happen sooner or later but the price increase is really much ooo almost a 100% increase. With this, in 2 to 3 months time Lagos is going to have some open slots for the residential plan because I’m certain not everyone can keep up with this new price. Time for Airtel to aggressively market their unlimited plans in order to gain some Starlink customers over.

You have been enjoying dirt-cheap premium internet services.

Why complain?

Check it, did they really increase the price, about na Naira rubbish itself. Let them bring back the option to pay in $ or just introduce Residential lite plan like they did in Kenya. The Tone of that email is very harsh as Tinubuconomics don vex dem. If you can't pay, please cancel. 😤 in severe pains

Why don't you want people to vent? Purchasing power differ across board. Not everyone can afford to spend 75k monthly on data for home use alone.

This is the right time for local mobile broadband ISPs to up their game and introduce competitive unlimited subscription plans to attract potential customers

Anybody that invested over half a million naira on an internet kit should focus more on value of service rather than its cost.

Please.. Please.. Don't come here sounding elitist... You have to also know pricing is also a crucial part of commerce..

Don't come here sounding as if we don't have any right to vent... You feel everyone can afford 75K?

I remember one of the grounds Starlink was allowed to operate in Nigeria was the insistent that they factor in economic realities in pricing..

By November, I am dumping this kit and going back to my GSM jeje.... It was great enjoying seamless Internet for a very little while..

Why not sell subscriptions to your neighbours that way you can easily pay the 75k?

That's if one has neighbors willing to pay... I live in a poor neighborhood, and the young lads who may be willing to pay (Highly discounted) are aspiring internet fraudsters.

Scared their activities may jeopardize my service....

Valid point.

This did not apply to Nigerians, also I joined when we payed in $ so it's $45 from $43 at the rate of ₦1670. If them move am to $50, no choice until a better choice comes along. Na Naira fault. If Naira fixes which I doubt, they would readjust. It's business, nothing personal. Thanks T-Pain!

Wawu, imagine abandoning a hardware I bought for half a million.

Some even bought expensive routers from eBay along side. 🤣🤣

I don’t know why, but this comment is very funny. 🤣🤣😭😭

This is the way to go, I don't know why people don't listen or consider this. Pair Starlink with a 3rd party router and look for 3 or 5 neigbors or next compound that can pay 10 to 15k per month to reduce the fees you pay is commonsense.

This is the way to go now rather than going back to spending 20 to 25k per month for Nigerian network providersbwith their piss-porr service

Will never be me Sha. Quality is far superior and justify the investnent

Thank you so much. I have been able to purchase my starlink and also set it up. I used Providus bank card for every transaction.

Hi guys, while setting up my starlink account, the available subscription for my location includes Business subscription which is 50k per month. Can I opt for that?
