I live somewhere else within Lagos but not too far to Lotto Bus Stop, Ogun state about 25kms.

So, Starlink is at full capacity in my area and I was placed on a waiting list for 2025, I canceled that, started all over again.

But then, the closest area where there is coverage available is Lotto Bus stop, Ogu. State cos Lagos State is congested. So I used Lotto Bus Stop as Service Address and my home address as shipping address. It was shipped to my home address, I activated and logged in to my account and changed my service address to my home address.

At the point of placing your order, you will be asked for two addresses, Shipping Address and Service Address, so that's where you do the trick.

It's allowed.

GoodBoi1:
I am trying to understand. Did you update the service address to lotto bus stop and then it worked?

That's truly far. Palmgrove is too central,minimum distance with service is about 40km away.

He could try it though, if it doesn't work, he could return the device and ask for a refund within 30days

odimbannamdi:
If it's the Lotto bustop I know that is just after Aseese bustop, it is at least 50km away from Palmgrove where he actually is. The difference in location is significant and he may have Restriction issues

Yes, it should since it can broadcast network

odimbannamdi:
Please, is there anyone you recommend? I have this MTN router though. Will it work effectively?

Done

georgee:
Send me a DM

You will have to get a Router, that's what I have decided to do

odimbannamdi:
Please, is there a way I can increase the WiFi coverage of my Starlink? Network disappears when I am about 40ft away from the router.

I used an address at Lotto Bus Stop close to the police station, you can use that as Service Address and use your current address as shippin address

To3i:
Bros where in move did u use?

I stay at Palmgroove
I done pay 49k tire since January

Thank you.

What apps do you for streaming football?

udatso:
Congratulations 🎉
Don't worry about the speed, it would improve. Mine started at 50 to 60mbps but now average 100-150mbps and it's just placed on the floor of my compound.

You are right, mine is placed on a low elevated surface for now and despite the obstructions I now get 80 to 150mbps.

I also find it interesting that I could observe Starlink behavior while not at home (screenshot below). It's how I know who is connected and if there is power supply now

I placed an order for the Ethernet Adapter, I see it's discounted now to 30k.


Can someone please recommend a Router that has VPN and can broadcast signal over an extended range (used preferably) cis Starlink's coverage is poor?

Kee p checking the tracking code. I don't know how or who processed your replacement but I observed that they have started delivering faster than their shipping dates state, so your delivery date could change.

Alternately, you can message support to fast-track the shipping for the Router on the ground that you are solely relying on Starlink and have something urgent to do with it in a week as you couldn't wait for their delivery date

ibietela2:
They are sending me a replacement, but the router will arrive month end while the cable will arrive before Friday?

How?

Yes, it didn't connect to Satellites for quite a while but then I updated my service address and it went into Restricted mode.

20mins later it went online and I was billed 38k for Residential.

As I didn't prepare to receive the shipment within 4days, I had to put it on the roof of a shed where there is lot of obstructions. Highest speed I got was 63mps down and 23mps up which is quite good.

When I move it higher I will post screenshots.

udatso:
Oya give us update oooh. Have you activated it?

Got my Starlink package today

udatso:
Nice. The nearest to me I used was 13km. So I am hopeful yours will work.

Alright

lukfame:
I did complain about the plug getting burnt as well.

Concerning the extra cable, I'm sorry I won't be able to give you as Starlink wants me to send the router and the old cable back

No, there is no need any of the cables should still work as you may confirm. And the old plug will still work with the router perfectly, so I dont expect them to ship that except you complained it got burnt as well.

If you wont be needing the old cable since you got an extra, pleas elet me know as i have a friend in need of it

lukfame:
Good afternoon chiefs, I finally got a reply last weekend and they shipped the cable and also the router. The cable just got to me now and it's actually the one from dish to the router instead of the plug and the router hasn't shipped yet. Is there a need to replace the 75ft cable with the new one since the former wasn't damaged.
Can anyone confirm if the router will come in with the plug wire or should open the ticket to make my complaints.


Thank you

This is great, mine shipped today and is waiting for me at home.

Did they pack everything together or it came separately, I have 2 tracking numbers but only one package was delivered?

laptopsforsale:
Starlink up and running.

Payment was done SEEAMLESSLY using first bank mastercard linked to a Current naira account.

Thanks for the tips shared here

Oh, I think I saw that post too. His Starlink installed near the overhead tank. My mid told me this brother is from Nigeria when I saw the post.

ibawon:
I been see your post for Reddit.

I placed my oder for total of 456k on Friday, it's arriving between 4th and 7th July.

Nearest available point is 23kms away, nearly double yours, I am really hoping it work cos that's what I used in the end

udatso:
Nice. The nearest to me I used was 13km. So I am hopeful yours will work.

I know right but the excuse Nigerians keep brining up is that it's crazy cold out there. Yet people keep socializing in that cold with different form of recreational activities, e.g.lake skiing.

I am starting to wonder what socialization really means, maybe it's purely based on locality as you earlier pointed out.

ednut1:
https://www.nairaland.com/7606132/skiing-trip-blue-mountain-ontario weather does not stop socialization. I go skiing, ice skating, ice fishing in the winter.

Burna boy was in Toronto in February (winter), basketball games Toronto raptors was on through the winter, clubs, bar’s lounge were open etc. i just tire for these people lol

Well, you are right.

ednut1:
used carbon bike are still expensive. Mine is a budget one from China , Canadians don’t trust such brands they prefer the big name brands

I don laff tire, they keep saying cold and isolated without stepping off their front porch, going to games or getting involved in communities

Calitoscassius:
Most Blacks, Naigerians and carribean people don't like to cycle, they like to go to church, go home, seat at home cook, cook, cook, cook and cook, and eat, eat, eat i say eat, eat again and then sleep, next day up early to work and repeat.

I dont understand Nigerians or maybe its just cultures shock cos why would anyone want to socialise in brutal and unsafe cold when the sweet summer is there for that?

ednut1:
false . This is from last year i rode with a club through out.
https://www.nairaland.com/7819069/bicycle-ride-adventure-toronto-mississauga

I belong to 3 bike clubs and they have this same trip tomorrow. However i have other commitments so i did it alone. Its summer every one is socializing and flexing. Different hobbies dey find one to do. Shikena

My God, a bus has a bicycle carrier for passengers travelling with their bicycles

ednut1:
Bus and Train back to base

Lol, share a pic of your prestigious keke abeg

Sonnobax15:

Good luck bruh...

One day I'll try this here in Nigeria with my prestigious Keke too


Why didn't you queue with the cars? . If na Naija you dey na,na just to find one short cut and by-pass the border enter U.S,no time.

Damn, those brakes are lit

Its long holiday weekend in Canada ( public holiday on Monday July 1). Took an extra day to go on a bicycle adventure . Start point- border of Toronto/Etobicoke and Mississauga . End Point - Niagara Falls.

Solo ride but joined a group along the way.

2- Energy gels, Energy Drink, Dates, Chocolate and fruits
3- Bicycle

Nice ride.

I ride with my Domaine AL2 Trek bicycle on Saturdays and Sundays. It's made with aluminum cast frame and carbon fork.

Quick question, your bicycle is carbon right and is there a market for used bicycles there. I am looking to ship in sometimes soon cos buying a bike of this grade over here is super-expensive

I will cancel my preorder and do this then. Thank you

Update: I dont think there are any available locations nearby to me in Lagos State, so I used Mowe which is about 15km to me, and it instantly displayed the total due.

I will be making the payment and really hope this works.

udatso:
This happened to me before.

I first placed my order but it was showing full capacity that I have to wait. I chatted the customer care and they couldn't tell me when it would be available at my location. So I cancelled the order, placed another other but chose an available location closest to my place but used my home address. It got to me and I activated it without any issues.

Personally I am more confident dealing directly with starlink than any of their accredited partners be it jumia or konga.

Sorry, I quoted you in error. Thanks for the feedback though

Entanglement:
perfectly fine with everything!
And who told you I leave in ketu?
Never been to that place before

Did you end up making the order and Is it working fine in your area in Ketu?

Entanglement:
Starlink is now 440k
Una were dey sell for 800k to 1.2m
Otilor for Una ohh

Did you order from Starlink or bought from Jumia or Konga?
I am torn between ordering from Jumia/Konga for which I will be stuck with a more expensive roaming plan or rather join the waiting list (which entitles me to Residential, cheaper by 10k) for which I have no idea when it may get to me? Can someone give me a candid advice?

udatso:
My location in Abuja is showing "Starlink at capacity...." trash but I have been using it since may 10th without issues. If your device isn't already registered to kwara, then you can use it here in Abuja.

Can't wait to get mine

naijalodge:
no it isn’t, I already changed the location this morning..meeen starlink is just awesome

Hello guys,

I am planning to order this week but it's at full capacity in my area.

My questions:
1. If I order directly, how soon could it be delivered and will it work in my area nonetheless

2. If I order directly from Jumia, will it work in my location and can I still possibly get residential plan.

I am still confused and will appreciate if I can talk to someone.

Hi, is this still available?

naijalodge:
i've got a lagos registered starlink i just bought from someone who got it last year, its very neat, willing to sell it to a lagos residence since i don't stay in lagos so you can subscribe the regular residential plan, then i'll use the money to order mine and register it to my location since there's available space in the state where i stay. note that by this time tomorrow, i probably must have transferred the residence to my state meaning this offer might not be available anymore as u might not be able to go back to the lagos address...
