Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by twosquare(m): 3:35pm On Mar 31
Osun State (Ile-Ife). Not everyone is in Lagos, bro.

I will be taking it along to Ekiti this Easter to see if I can unleash its full power without obstructions.

Nah, still hasn't shipped.
You really need to reach out to them to understand what is happening. I received mine earlier today and already installed it.

Thanks for your inputs. Oga Georgee, thanks also your advise. I appreciate everyone!

Hi there.
I'm looking to get this inverter setup for a grandma. I know I will get a PWM charge controller but where I'm blocked for now is the battery type. Does this inverter + PWM work well with deep cycle gel battery?

For North mini dey hit 300mbps
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by twosquare(m): 6:50pm On Mar 31
Northern Nigeria? If opportune, I will share with you my speed when I reach Ekiti State. It is spacious with less obstructions why pointing at the sky.

It is chaotic where I am.

That's true. Some websites are not opening, while some are. It may have to do with that one of their satellites that went kaboom in space or so.

Why not get solar generator instead?
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by johnnyholtby(m): 5:47am On Apr 01
Yeah, this has been happening. You need to enable custom DNS. STARLINK's DNS is trash and even slower than Cloudfare and Google's.


Check the attached screenshot for my DNS settings. Save settings then unplug your starlink for at least 30 seconds. Plug your starlink back in and you're done.

I'm not sure but there's an inverter thread on nairaland where people answer questions like this

I did that and after rebooting it went back to how it was before like the settings didn't apply

Is starlink down for everyone or it's just at my end?

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by twosquare(m): 4:50pm On Apr 01
Same here. It is been acting up really bad. I am waiting for other info on X.

I will still put it in a shelf and be using my Airtel. Hardly any difference these days of war.

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by johnnyholtby(m): 8:37pm On Apr 01
I really don't know what's going on with starlink. First attached screenshot is speed between my router and internet. Second attached screenshot is speed between my phone and internet. Third attached screenshot is the speed between my phone and router which is pretty good.

Raw speed is 400mbps but speed on my phone is 1mbps. I actually thought my router is the culprit but when I use a VPN, my phone's speed to the internet is way higher.

I've spent hours troubleshooting but nothing worked!

Anybody else experiencing this? Abi my router is toasted

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by gsparks01(m): 8:39pm On Apr 01
I'm currently using MTN
Can you believe it?
