Was down for about 10mins around the time I made the post. Looks like it's mostly a night-time issue. Glad it is working well now

At this rate, you will need to carry sacrifice to appease the elders... grin grin

I don't know if Glo has similar plans since you said it is fast in your area.

It came as a result of Starlink's price increase...

Estate with fibre...I dey talk with top gee....bro, help our ministry. cheesy cheesy

Actually, not many people earn in $$$...and people actually wanted an affordable unlimited internet, but T-Pain no dey gree with the Naira devaluation, etc. That's why some are giving up. I mentioned earlier why I didn't go for Starlink, after calculating the overall cost and maintenance. Now, price increase in naira came; the straw that broke the camel's back for some.

Na only Airtel has that Plan but MTN has something better on Fiber Optics but not yet available in my Area but it's getting closer

If I had MTN fiber in my Estate, I would abandon my Starlink. With MTN fiber, you get a guaranteed 150Mbps at 60k. These days, Starlink is so slow and sluggish during the day time.

What about FiberOne? They have 150mbps at ~53k

Will give them a call and find out if the service is available in my Estate. Thanks.

I just checked their site and found out that they give differing value at same cost of plans for Lagos and Abuja. Given that I live in Abuja, I won't be using their services.
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by dustmalik(m): 1:34pm On Oct 11, 2024
For those who live in Lagos, these two plans make sense especially with the increase of Starlink plans. The challenge with fiber connectivity is the frequent outages due to fiber cable cuts.

I had no idea they did that.
Checked their website and the difference is steep! What I pay for 100mbps in Lagos is what they charge for 50mbps in Abuja. Crazy

Ok.. Dem no dey my area
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by dustmalik(m): 1:46pm On Oct 14, 2024
Am I the only one suffering these crazy outages and stats?
The thing is, it doesn't happen after midnight, just during the day time. Ping success is usually around 99% and 98% after midnight, but becomes terrible during the daytime. As a result, Starlink performance is now shitty during the daytime here at my location in Abuja.

These aren't caused by obstructions as you can see that my obstruction map is quite clear.

Same experience in other states. Seems it's caused by congestion which is why it happens during peak period and not at night

You'll need a starlink adapter, router, and an access points
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by Seun(mod): 6:07pm On Oct 18, 2024
Guys, have you recently switched to Starlink Residential in the Lagos area? How did you do it?

Did you sign up from the official site? If so, how long did you have to wait?

Did you use an address just outside the restricted area?

Or: are you on the roaming plan of ₦167,000/month?
