Thanks, I saw on Temu too…
I might use that money and fabricate something locally sha.

And madam wants me to keep the gen 3 and not use it immediately. (After using the replacement router of gen 2) my system is a bit stable and since we’re not required to return the old system.
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by twosquare(m): 7:54am On Apr 09
Yes....one major reason. Not sweet experience here. Secondly, thinking about the pricing again, it doesn't make sense to me. Hence, the return. I have been notified that my refund has been processed.


johnnyholtby:
May I ask why you're returning your hardware?
Is it due to obstruction?

Collapse the plastic clamp. The raised hole at the end of the adapter, pull it up, then pull it out to remove the adapter

Is it just me or starlink shipping has been extremely slow lately. Almost a month since order was placed and they haven't shipped till date. In fact, two of my orders show "Delayed".

Support claim they are backordered due to low inventory.

Same shoes. I ran Starlink side by side with MTN Fibre for 3 months in Lagos and I decided to ultimately stay with MTN Fibre. The 45k 100Mbps plan is cheaper, more stable and faster (Starlink is only faster between 1am - 8am).
But Starlink would still be my choice for less saturated / more rural locations
