Well, this is about one month so far for me since I started using the MTN FibereX and I am yet to experience any downtime 🤔

Service has been perfect so far.

ijeezlux:
I started using starlink on the first of this month, I was thinking starlink was going to give me free one month subscription. But up till now, I have not gotten my on month free subscription from starlink

KemoSabe:
This is awesome NBA Tv

Rated Power is 200W. Pls, have you tested a PS4 on this?

ijeezlux:
I just check the TV dot garden now, they are trying sha, but most of the channels there are free to air channels and channels extracted from YouTube, most of the premium channels there are not even working. Imagine in America category no HBO , even most of the SHOWTIME channels are my working,... In UK category, no Tnt, non of the sky sports channels are there, most of the sky movies are not there, no discovery channels, no Dazn .
But the garden still trying sha.

Starlink should not be carried away with all the sweet praises and accolades it receiving from Nigerians, their only major selling point is UNLIMITED. Any day they stop unlimited, they will lose massive subscribers.

is very good. I can tell you it stays for hours with television, router and others

The way you’re saying it it’s like you don’t know it’s pirated services? Sha use VPN on your Starlink

ijeezlux:
Thanks. I understand your point sha, but Lots of people use Kodi and IPTV, though some IPTV are legal while others are illegal. But I don't think Kodi is illegal presently cos some of their add-ons are paid add-ons while some are free. Beside Kodi is on play store and I don't think play store will allow any unlawful app to be in their store.
Is just like saying Stremio is a pirated streaming service just because they have some free addon you can use to watch movie

believe some people are trying to sabotage Starlink’s presence in this country. Economically, it doesn’t favor them, so they’re using the NCC to frustrate it. The truth is, Starlink has taken over Nigeria’s internet market, and they’re scared that, in the near future, it will push every other network provider out. That’s why they’re now scrambling to launch a competing satellite service desperate moves.

But their plans to shut down or frustrate Starlink won’t work. Just this month alone, I’ve used over 600GB of data with Starlink. Tell me, which other service provider offers that for ₦38k, let alone with their painfully slow speeds? Honestly, granting Starlink an operational license is probably the only good thing the Nigerian government has done for its people and even that was accidental. If they had known how beneficial it would be to Nigerians, they wouldn’t have approved it in the first place.

Kodi is so stressful,it's not straightforward, I use DSTV STREAM APP (Premium package,the highest package) . I have accounts,if you are interested let me know and it's cheaper.

KemoSabe:
Thanks bro. Just received my unit, charging it now

ijeezlux:
Same here too. I even stream 4k channels on my IPTV and Kodi without fear of running out of data. Na just steady power supply that we don't have in naija to compliment The starlink.

ibietela2:
You bought it online? How much? Do you have review?

jmaine:
What does the DSTV Stram app entail? You can watch full screen on Google TV?

Is it as cheap as the IPTV services with thousands of naira?

KemoSabe:
Yeah bro, it's on jumia for #256k. The reviews there suggest its currently one of the best in the market. It really lasts true to its rating (1kwh/900wh). If you want to use this primarily for your mini (20-40w), you have no problem, it will literarily last the entire day.
Now, I got this unit for my workstation comprising couple of desktops/monitors. Based on spec, there wasn't any real issue as I already have another solar unit that takes care of my laptop/phone charging/bulbs, starlink, routers, fan etc.

This one, I wanted to see on the higher end, how it would perform with my PS4 & monitor for online gaming. With hithium max output@200W, PS4 pro(150 -160W) + ASUS 25" monitor @35W, I thought it might prove challenging but it worked! I used it around 4hrs last night (though I didn't really time it) leaving a strong 1bar around midnight. However, there was that one time the PS4 switched off automatically not while actually playing, but just after the game during a cut scene/server upload connection stuff. Guess the power had surged past the 200 maxlimit.
Jumia review Hithium

ibietela2:
It’s for my work place too, Starlink, 2+ laptop and maybe tv occasionally but my tv is 50”

senator282:
Yes full DStv premium package on your android TV without decoder.

Hello Starlink Users,

I need some information regarding buying Starlink Standard for my school in Benin City. My questions are:

1. How much is the current Starlink Standard Kit?
590k from starlink website
2. How much is the monthly subscription?
57k
3. Can I order for the kit at either Konga or Jumia without passing through Starlink sales company to save cost?
Yes Konga has the standard gen2 kit at 418,500 and the gen3 at 590k.
The gen 3 kit is better though.
4. Can I install it on my own?
Yes, installing it is fairly straight forward.
5. Where can I install it? Rooftop, right?
Yes preferably, it needs an unobstructed view of the sky (it should be higher than anything around it)
6. Will the strenght of the router go round all the blocks of the school?
It depends on the size of the school.
My guess? It would not...the range is pretty limited. However you can use Extenders to increase the range.
7. Is it the residential package I should subscribe to?
Depends on usage...if the goal is for browsing and mid size downloads the residential should suffice.

Please, whoever can provide these answers diligently, I shall reward the person handsomely.

Thanks!

KemoSabe:
Do the calculation bro, It will take all at once as long as it doesn't exceed 200W.

sandra2025:
Thanks for your response.

1. How much is the extenders?

Prices vary depending on range and brand etc.
You may need to get someone to help you with this. It's not difficult but it can be a little technical if you're not tech savvy. You can look up WiFi Extenders or repeaters to get an idea of cost.

2. If I order from Konga, and I install, does it have data subscription already or I need to contact Starlink to subscribe for the first month?

No it doesn't have data subscription already. You will need a starlink account regardless of where you buy from.

What is the name of the brand you bought?
