Yes, that's what I used to post this message

I have an installation just two months old hitting 6.3tb. I can conclude dat one can actually hit 3tb a month

They use such charges to discourage people from getting onboard. They also do it overseas, not just here. In fact, in some parts of the US where capacity has been reached, they charge up to $1,000 activation fee. The idea is simply to discourage more customers from getting onboard, and it's legal.

And someone calmed the 400k activation was a mistake that will be rectified soon.
He's playing

By the way, apparently Starlink added more specs to their Nigerian hardware in Lagos yesterday. Those in Lagos and other places where capacity is still low should enjoy Starlink even the more. An engineer posted the attached screenshot yesterday on Reddit.

I will check this once i get home from work today

Osheeee Starlink

Hello Everyone

Please how can I extend my starlink mini connection

It was placed on the roof ( my house is a one storey building built with concrete) I stay downstairs.

I can’t get to use it where I work inside the house. The network inside my apartment is low or sometimes not showing up.

Please I will appreciate any solution.

I got Starlink Ethernet adapter cos in my case our router didn't come with any extra hole for 3rd party router.

Bought another router and connected it to my main Starlink router

My main router sits in my bedroom upstairs while my 3rd party router dey downstairs for my sitting room connected with network cable.. Boom.. Internet everywhere

buy an any router there’s a 3rd party cat6 cable port, buy a cat6 rj cable that can extend from the Starlink mini to your apartment, plug the router inside your house and connect the cable from the Starlink u extended.

Finally got the dreaded warning from starlink that i infringed and downloading copyrighted materials illegally.

Reading the messager from the complainer, Paramount studios, they said I or someone using my Internet downloaded BILLIONS a paramount season series in FRENCH.

That's already a proof that it is not from my starlink. None of my users know French, apart from me sha. We never learn English not to talk of French.

I live near Benin Republic in northern Nigeria so i guess my starlink was among multiple starlinks sharing same public ip address when the material was downloaded. Guess i share ip address with Benin Republic guys.

Anyway. Got to know that starlink just, by obligation, needs to send that warning to everybody who were using the ip address at that point of time. They threaten with ban but i hear they'll never do so.

Someone once wrote to them saying he downloaded nothing and starlink told him they know but just had to send the warning to fulfil the law and the person should not worry.

Guess i shouldn't worry too.

If I understand correctly, is it illegal to download series or other entertainment services from third-party sites like we are used to with our local internet providers? Could this ever be grounds for banning people from accessing star link services that was paid for with our hard earned money?

Its clearly written in their AUP and user terms not to download illegal materials with their Internet.
Ideally they can ban you for continuous abuse of that.

But they just won't.

For America people dey go jail well for torrenting and illegal downloads. You go pay the company tire. People torrent there with VPN.
In Africa anti piracy laws just don't work that's why we can do it here without wahala.

Please ohhh. I bought extra cable and ethernet adapter thinking I would use it when I move to my new place.

It's useless right now because Starlink upgraded my kit to Gen 3.

State your price (but it should be reasonable) I have no use for it

Reason for sale: My kit was change to Gen 3

I was trying to subscribe my starlink and it showed failed here but my opay account was debited... Will it be reversed? Have anyone experienced it before?

They've been very busy with upgrades. This is at AMS-IX.
From 2x10 in Dec 22 to 2x100 in Oct 23 to 2x300g in Apr 25 and now with an additional 300 gives 900 in July 25.

You're right. It may not be you or anyone connected to your Starlink. It's probably some other person with the same IP as yours. Just ignore it, don't respond.

Moreover, I don't think Nigeria has explicit cyber copyright laws.

This was probably through torrenting, that's why they could see what the IP downloaded.

Unfortunately, we in Abuja aren't feeling the upgrades.

Guys please how do you solve the very poor WiFi range issue?

The router is connected inside the room and won't be strong or even reachable once outside even at 30m range.

Mtn router surprisingly has more WiFi range than StarLink router.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

Go to your Starlink app and split the frequency between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz

The 2.4Ghz frequency can travel far while the 5Ghz is very fast when you are closer

With this, you should be fine.. The 2.4Ghz will be with all the way as you move further away from the router, while the 5Ghz will hug so much as you get closer to it

Do you know how further 2.4GHZ can go, away from the walls of the building and fence?

Bro, won't solve your problem. The router doesn't have the best coverage and that's mostly coz starlink runs their frequencies on 40 / 80 MHz. They focus on speed and not on distance. Also their WiFi radio antenna not the best for distance.

Solution is to go buy a 3rd party router, link both up via cable or wirelessly and spread that WiFi to any where you want, even if you want to extend from your home to your work place 😁

Yea.. Forgot to add i also used a 3rd party router to extend my coverage from my bedroom upstairs to my living room downstairs

Starlink router.. Inside my bedroom for up

3rd party rounter (Tp Link)... Inside my living room downstairs

Both are routers are split 2.4 and 5Ghz

By spending big money and buying routers that can do that. There are many and they can be moderately expensive. But it's a worthy one time investment to enjoy your starlink every where
