Phones › Re: Starlink Is Officially In Nigeria With Pricing In Naira by rookidmart: 6:36pm On Jan 30, 2023

dustmalik:
Good news guys💃💃💃💃

Starlink is officially in Nigeria, with pricing in Naira.

Hardware costs: NGN268,584

Monthly subscription costs: NGN19,260.00

This is great.

This is nice.

My quote in the linked thread refers:

rookidmart:
$43 (~₦19k; ₦32k) monthly for unlimited data is not bad. Way cheaper than the competition.

Assuming an average speed of ~150mbps (18MBPS) for which FiberOne and iPNX charge for ~₦62,000

However, the installation costs are steep: $600 (₦267,000 at bank rate; ₦450,000 at black market rate) vs ~₦50,000 for FOB or iPNX.

Reliability is a concern here though - would it work well in bad weather? Rains would start next year so I'll be waiting for your feedback by then.

Thanks for sharing.

If they're pricing in naira at official rates then although the setup fee is more expensive than contemporary fiber offerings (ipnx, fiberone, et al.), the value is in reliability and cheaper internet.

The speedtest screenshot above suggests >200mbps for ~₦19k which the competitors do not offer.
Fiberone and Ipnx both max out at 152Mbps and 150Mbps for ₦66,750 and ₦62,350 respectively.

It is worthy to note that Ipnx offers Gigabit internet (1000mbps) under its FOS Xtreme plans (FOS extreme 1000) but that would set you back ₦268,750 monthly, which is basically the one-time cost of the Starlink hardware.

If Starlink can prove its mettle by offering consistently fast internet (per Elon Musk, planned speed is 10gbps) at these relatively low prices, and resilience in bad weather conditions then it is poised to take over the market.

A death knell for traditional fiber offerings would be if Starlink offered a way to pay for the hardware costs in installments from your monthly subscription fee.

SirJerrie:
Thanks for the update...
My younger bro also complained about the high rate at which his MTN 5G consumes data.

Getting a star Starlink is a good investment, considering the offers and service reliability of it's current competitors here in Nigeria.

5G consumes data faster because the speed is faster. That's to be expected

It doesn't specifically mention ATMs, so I guess it's back to the status quo.

CSTRR:
If you subscribe 32k data on mtn every month, you can't finish it in a month.
So it's more or less unlimited.

Plus other benefits you will get on calls.

Elon musk is a scam.

Not really.
30k plan on MTN is for 200GB, and I've used more than that this past week alone updating games on my PS5.

PS how do you pay for subscriptions? Naira or dollar card?

Hi OP, if your bank (UBA, I presume, from the screenshot sent) insists the transfer was successful, and the beneficiary's bank insists no transfer was made to his account, then isn't it possible you made the transfer to a wrong account?

I have seen this happen firsthand.

Here's what you should do;
1. Please confirm from your bank the account number, bank, and account name the transfer was made to.

2. If it's actually your friend's name and account number, then get both of your statements of accounts (this can either be printed or gotten from the mobile app/online banking)

3. If there is no trace of the transaction in his account, but it's in yours then you can escalate as you see fit.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

If that's the case then why doesn't everyone's money "varnish" from their accounts? undecided

There's no way money can leave any of your bank accounts without your implicit or explicit authorization. Period.
