If you're getting 30mbps speeds with starlink then obviously starlink isn't for you or you hardware is faulty. Both on my Mini and Gen 3 standard, I easily get 200 - 400 Mbps. I'd advise you look elsewhere if your speeds are that low. But based on my usage, I can 100% confirm that no ISP in Nigeria comes close to starlink with all things considered. Again this is based on my personal usage and opinion.

Tolu181:
first of all if starlink will bring out 50mbps speed plan for 25k like mtn and airtel
everyone will join that but they know that

they blocked their cheap roaming plan from nigerians

not everyone is getting 100mbps, here i get 20 to 30mbps while paying 57k

they should bring up affordable plans for nigerians

MTN is far better than starlink, na hype una dey hype this expensive rubbish

look at 555k for a kit then 57k for monthly plan that means extra 570k with stupid speed

meanwhile MTN and AIRTEL KIT free of charge and you guys are comparing starlink to them

starlink is fraud

I was shocked person getting 30mbps on Starlink likely a faulty router or something even my friend that is in Abuja where it's congested getting above 100mbps

I know why roaming was suspended here because people buy kit and sell to other countries where Starlink is not available

Tolu181:
my starlink gave me that

57k a month sub where minimum wage is 77k

I see. No point having a discussion with you.

Tolu181:
no matter how you mfers diickride them, them no send una.
pretty soon or later they will up their plan to 75k

and most of you dickridingg them will start protesting

one nigerian mentality i hate the most is "since i fit afford am then is cheap"

Give it a rest bro

Wait till afternoon! 😛

Already Evening 😂

Seems the gen 2 doesn't consume anything again oh.
24w and this includes my gen 2 starlink, a standing fan plugged and charging a mini speaker.
All 24w only. 😱😱😱

Recent updates made starlink more power efficient. On a very sunny day, starlink consumes more power (up to 90w for Gen 3), while at night or a cool day, starlink consumes very low power (as low as 14w on Gen 3)

Una own better with Starlink, currently stuck with the garbage MTN, GLO, Airtel craps. As it stands i can't even get upto 1mbps on any if the networks, i get around 8-9 Mbps at midnight 12 - 3Am. Given my current financial status i cant afford the #594k standard kit, even if i scrape myself to purchase it i can't afford the subscription.

When problem go finish? first it was flooded area solved, then insecurity area solved, then power solved, and now internet connection.
Is it a curse to be a Nigerian living in Nigeria?

I totally get you bro. Starlink wouldn't have been an option if our local ISPs are good.
If you're considering getting starlink, you don't have to get the Gen 3 kit. For most people, the Starlink Mini is more than good enough (and considerably cheaper too).

Most starlink owners I know "carpool". If you have a neighbours you trust, you can easily share the subscription bill.

If your work depends on the internet, starlink would definitely be a necessity as it's fast and consistent.

naso someone go defend.

nigerian love defending poison

airtel odu is 25k
mtn fibre X is 30k

starlink is 57k with 25mbps

and you call it cheapest

if you are not one of the employee then thunder fire you

Starlink is 25mbps? Lol.
When mine is slow it's 250+mbps. Normally between 350-480mbps.

Which isp can give you that for 57k?

You compare with airtel and MTN of 50mbps base with lots of cutoffs and down time? Omo

Ignore that guy

ask4bk:
Lol... That's what I use. Performance is great. I tested range of 150+m but just because there's a big wall in front of the access point and front of wall is a big cluster of trees. Yet, it penetrates them and gets to extra 150m. It'll be reached the documented 300m if I had no obstacle I believe. That's a super long distance.

My only problem with it is that, once power goes off, coming back on, the captive portal somehow stops working and everyone can connect freely. The solution I got was to enter the SSID, remove the captive portal and add it again and it's back to normal. They need to fix that.

Superb!

Those guys in my compound are acting very weird. I remember when were asked to pay a total of #1m so that we can be added to band A users last year, a private investor bought poles, transformers and cables to connect our street to band A, so if you want to use the light you have to pay him and buy your own meter. We are 8 tenants in total, but each tenant was giving one form of excuse or the other, some were even saying it should be the responsibility of the landlord who wasn't living in the compound with us. I spent around 400k for everything to connect my flat, but today they are all gathered in my frontage like where APC is sharing election rice. They are all charging one device or the other as i'm writing this, with extension sockets littered everywhere since electricity on band E is 0.

The internet issue is also affecting them, but they prefer flocking around around a new hotel whose management installed starlink and did not password it. They gather around there like ants around sugar looking for a free network to do their Yahoo work.

Damn! I can totally relate.

To get reasonable and approachable neighbours is a nightmare. Country hard.

Okay. Try and contact support and see, maybe there's an issue with your router

I'm using this my 4kw 12v lithium battery (12v 314ah), with sachet inverter, and i do charge with nepa, but recently just added one 620w panel and charge controller. It carries all i need as a single guy who is not at home but in a temporal place.
Don't mind how scattered it is. I be bachelor 🤣. The main thing be say e de work. Even without charging it can carry my fan, starlink, small appliances for near 3 days.

Yes, they said GPS stuff… a replacement has been sent.

Please is anyone using a UPS for their starlink here? Can something like this https://www./generic-10000mah-mini-ups-battery-backuprouter-power-bank.-279360289.html work with starlink?

One of the perks of starlink. It took MTN 6months and lots of visitations before they reluctantly agreed to replace my brand new faulty router

The link is not opening...

Btw, if you are powering just the starlink with it, why not just get one of these power tanks
