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.
Oboy, I need to protect mine like a jealous lover o

Performance Kit that cost above 2 million naira 😂😂😂,guy abeg naa. That one na for the elite.

The way mtn is rapidly expanding their fibre x network coverage within Nigeria, the only thing that will save starlink future in Nigeria is price reduction back to 38k, unless if mtn fibre x network becomes shitty and unreliable. Mtn is not joking recently with this their Fibre x network,they are targeting major cities and highly populated communities and residential areas. Is it old people in the village that will be using starlink😂, Mtn will end starlink in few years to come with this their fibre x deployment.
If MTN 4G is not working inside communities, towns and villages outside state capitals it’s their fibre that will??

I bought the Starlink Gen 2 sometime last year, and a couple of weeks back I noticed some abrupt disconnections. I ran a system check with their AI and was notified that my Starlink was defective. I was given a replacement (Gen 3), which I have now installed. I contacted customer service to ask what I should do with the old unit. They told me it has been deactivated and should be properly disposed of.

Of course, I know the entire kit can’t be completely useless. I’m curious — has anyone else been in this situation, and what did you do with yours? I was advised to sell the parts like the router, cables, and charger.

Have you had a full kit replacement in the past from Starlink? Because I know Starlink typically replaces faulty kits, unless it has been replaced for free before. When my Gen2 was having performance issues, I reported to their support and was immediately sent a full Gen3 kit as a replacement.

Have you gotten a replacement kit before? There has to be reason(s) why starlink won't provide a replacement kit for you

I need the opinion of everyone: I've been a Starlink subscriber for 2 years with no interruptions. However, I had banking issues last month and couldn't pay my June 8th invoice on time. My account is now suspended with an outstanding balance. I'm ready to pay it off, but I want to know: will paying the overdue balance cover just June, or will the system also charge me for July immediately upon reactivation? In other words, am I looking at one month or two months' worth of payments to get back online?

Any insights from those who've reactivated after a missed payment would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The starlink was gifted to my school by an NGO who subscribed on it. I don't account login details. Which makes it difficult to chat with grok

Hi. I need help, please. I want to buy Starlink. Should I buy it from their website or should I check the market? How many days does it take for them to ship it to my place? Thank you.

Screw it up open and play with it like kid that just found legos. I tinkered with mine a while ago and made it sort of bullet proof. My traffic now routes through i2p.

Starlink tends to do very well in rural area than urban area due to latency and congestion.

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by johnnyholtby(m): 10:12am On Jul 07
This isn't about being in rural or urban area. It's about the frequent packet losses that occurred for the past 2 nights
