For those in USA. Come see curses on social media. grin
That's because Starlink have seen their gadget become too accessible to every musa and chibuzor so they want to filter certain peeps by making it premium. They may triple charge in future.

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by Nteogwuija(m):
Abeg, anyone uses IPTV with Starlink here?

Pls, what VPN do u use?

I don't know if Starlink is blocking VPNs cuz when I've used Surfshark and ExpressVPN, they worked at first but failed with time.

And streaming directly results to a lof of buffers

I use IPTV and you really don't need VPN (unless your provider tells you otherwise) if you have a good IPTV provider. From what you said, the issue is from your provider. Lots of logins out there that buffer with or without VPN.

Boss, pls which one do u use, and do use it with Starlink?
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by johnnyholtby(m):
Yes I use my logins with starlink.

IPTV is hit or miss (mostly miss) cos of resellers reselling already sold logins. You'd have to invest lots of time and money to get a stable login.
Pro tip: always ask for a test login (if offered) before you commit to a long term subscription.

I use mostly Mac logins (stalker portal) plus Tivimate pro.
Mac logins tend to be more stable. Expect buffering during peak hours though.

What do you mean by Mac logins?
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by johnnyholtby(m): 9:11am On May 31
I believe you login through m3u playlist
Mac login is a different way to login

By default, starlink filters content. Go to settings and select "No filtering". It should solve the issue.

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by SolomonGrundy: 4:53am On Jun 02
Please, for those that switched from starlink to mtn fiberx, how is the experience like? Is it way better than starlink? And also after switching, did you have to contact starlink cc to disconnect your terminal.? Because I once heard that if you just stop subscribing without informing them, the bills will keep piling up..

For context, I'm abt changing apartment, and the new apartment has fiberx installed, which means I will probably stop using starlink.

Experience depends on the location you are,ask people within that location using it already to tell you about their experience. You can't compare fibre internet technology with satellite technology. Fibre is better but it depends on those running the fibre network.

You don't really need to use a VPN because the speed will be throttled a bit, and you might experience buffering.

Starlink will suspend your account after a period of time; you don't necessarily need to contact them. When you're ready to activate it again, you can go ahead and pay the due balance in your account.

Good morning guys pls I need help , 2 days ago heavy rain fell in my locality. The rain came with thunder lighting , it happen at night . I woke up in the morning and notice I’m offline , I checked my starlink and notice the WiFi router is on but I can’t see the connections , it’s obvious that thunder must have stuck the antenna . I contacted starlink support , and I was told that my starlink is defective , but any replacement can’t be sent right now , because I have gotten replacement before which is true . I was told I have to purchase another brand new starlink from their store and that is the only option left . Pls I need advise , is there a way I can repair the antenna that was struck , because right now , I don’t have the resources to buy another one . Pls if you had similar experiences , pls I need your advise , I need 24 hours internet in my home and is affecting my productivity badly . Any good recommendations or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by johnnyholtby(m): 11:58am On Jun 04
Damn. So sorry about this.Have you tried troubleshooting your hardware yourself? Small chance but you can check your cables are well in place. As with what support said, you need to make them understand you've been a long-term customer. I really believe out of their goodwill, the should be able to send you a replacement at no extra cost. Try creating a new ticket and schedule a call with a starlink agent. Through call, you should be able to express yourself better.

Pro tip: to avoid future occurrence, ensure your house earthing is done correctly.

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by Bossman(m): 4:07pm On Jun 04
Starlink are good with sending out replacement units, especially when it's within the 12 months warranty period. However, they do frown upon multiple replacements, especially if it's weather related.
