DStv stream is a no go area for me and unreasonably expensive. May be some persons are enjoying the DStv stream cos de got it cheap via hacked login details which may not always be consistent.
How will i pay 44k monthly for premium DStv stream when you can pay 60k for 6 months subscription in iptv. And mind you IPTV has more than 70% of all DStv channels in it. DStv is more like a subset of IPTV

Something is not right with the shipment. Reach out to support and make a complaint.

Within 48hrs of the order, there should be an estimated date of shipment. The fact it's been more than 2 weeks and the status hasn't changed, means there is a problem somewhere.

I just hope that we didn't abuse this installment payment they offered that they stopped it. Then again, it wasn't even up to a month before they stopped; not enough time for people to stop paying. 🤔

No. It was clearly written at the top of their Nigerian site that it would only last till a certain date.

Airtel, Starlink unveil satellite-to-phone service in Nigeria, 13 others
Airtel Africa said on Tuesday that it has struck a deal with SpaceX to introduce Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell satellite connectivity across all 14 of its African markets, including Nigeria, aiming to extend mobile coverage to areas without traditional network infrastructure.

Direct-to-Cell allows smartphones to connect directly to satellites, bypassing the need for mobile towers. The service is expected to go live in 2026, initially supporting text messaging and limited data for selected applications, the telecom operator said in a statement.

The agreement also includes the rollout of high-speed broadband via next-generation satellites, capable of delivering up to 20 times faster data speeds, which comes up in a later phase. Deployment will depend on regulatory approvals in each country.

Just seeing your quote now. Interesting, I didn't know Starlink provides such option if they don't have stock for a replacement.

As for the receipt concern, Jumia and Konga do provide receipts at the point of delivery. I remember very well when I wanted Starlink to deactivate my account from my second Starlink dishy that I purchased via Konga. Starlink needed me to provide the receipt in order to prove I have had it for a period of at least 120 days, which is a requirement for them deactivate an account attached to a Starlink. I had to scan and sent the receipt over to Starlink, before they proceeded to deactivate the account.

Who has cancelled or suspended his Starlink subscription here for one or two months and how easy was it to re commence the payment? Any penalty for defaulting? This is in case man won't be around for two months and no sense in dashing Elon M money when the thing won't be used. Thanks

If you live in a location where there's still capacity or where capacity isn't at risk of being filled, sure, you can cancel at anytime and get back on the service whenever you want. However, if your bill statement has been generated already and it's pending fulfillment, you must pay first. Otherwise, if you cancel, your service will be suspended after a period of time.

Thank you,,Sir. I still have 10 days left in the current/active subscription. If I cancel it today, will I still be able to use the service for the remaining 10 days?

I believe you can without any extra cost incurred, as long as you’re not in Lagos or any other state that is currently filled up.
