Make person use almost half a meter to buy internet equipment. Make him still dey thread softly? Na wa o
This mentality is the problem. If he paid 50K or 100K is that now reason for him to "thread softly"? My phrasing is intentional but I understand that fuel is 500 naira and everybody is just looking for what to be angry at.

Not because you paid 1million for internet means you should download a 100GB file you do not need or even want sef lol.

WHAT'S THE POINT?! Because you paid 400K?

I don't understand what you mean by using it anyhow. I paid 400k plus for the hardware and paying 32k monthly, soon to be 38k, and you want to tell me how to use it?
Bros, what I said is VERY CLEAR. If what you need is 10TB then by all means use 10TB.

I didn't say when you want to use it, you should not use it. No need to start listing how much you paid or didn't pay. Many ISPs have fair usage policy for a reason.

I'm not telling you how to use it. Use what you need. Not because it's "Unlimited" then it means even what you don't need you download 'just because'. What if Starlink has a 'hidden' cap or somehow you get deprioritized?

No need for aggression big bros. If you need 100TB, use 100TB. My phrasing is intentional.

If after what I have explained, you still don't see it from where I stand, I am sorry. I apologize. Use however you wish. Ma binu. Na me fok up.

I think I prefer to stick with the dollar payment too. The problem is, in the absence of an option to choose between USD and Naira, if the payment is quoted in naira and you use a USD card, you'll probably be charged like $44.5 or so for that 32k payment
Yep. You'll pay more. Currency conversion charges.

Better option is needed o. The user interface get as e be. It was supposed to replace DSTV in my house but even me I no dey enjoy am talk more of the rest of the people for house. I would pay more for reliability and an intuitive user experience.
I agree, the thing is just... Somehow. The interface is not great, you'll only be able to see everything well on iPad. On my TV you can't even see full channnel name lol

I have moved to a new address and my current address is waitlisted but less than 5 miles from my new address, I was able to set my location to that place.

Hopefully when I finally hang my Starlink, i will get reception. Pray for me 😭
@dustmalik it worked 😅

Initial test was 200Mbps+ but rain never stop since then. I never see pass 70/80Mbps since that yesterday morning.

Anyways it works sha. Using like this. The installation was so tidious. Baba climb water tank, then climb across 2 buildings. A whole thing.

I paid for one month IPTV subscription today from the link posted here. It's working so far but it's not worth it in my opinion. Most of the interesting shows don't stream. It will just be writing playback error. I think I will stick to streaming movies and series from websites like net naija
If it's that 3K own from those twoone people, I'm inclined to agree that it's kinda trash. Glad I didn't pay 1 year own. Error up and down.

FibreOne has been a lifesaver for me since I moved to Gbagada. Approximately 12k pere and I'm not worried about any FUP, Data caps or Speed throttling. There are days when speed can be slow or they have downtimes, but that happens less than 5% in a month.
FibreOne, when it works it works. When it doesn't... Na tears. Can't forgive those guys for keeping me offline for 60hrs mhen. After alot of dragging and pestering. They added 2days to my expiry date. After it expired in February.

That was the end. I got Starlink.

It should work. My current service address is about 8km from my actual address and totally outside of my Starlink hexagonal area, and it works fine. I had to use the service address because my hexagonal area has reached capacity.

Just make sure to use the nearest service address to your actual physical address, outside of your hexagonal area, and it will work.
I have done that already, just haven't been able to get someone to climb the roof. No roof access so it's a bit tricky. Should get someone by tomorrow tho.

Also, thanks for the info, I had hope that it would work, but just wasn't sure.

Can this Starlink be used to set up a cybercafe of 20systems?
Cybercafes are still a thing? Hopefully Starlink doesn't notice it's being used for commercial purposes and do something. Because there are business plans too. Not only residential.

you can update/switch your card on starlink. I was using payday before but I switched card recently to gotok. It's easy. The new card will now be the card used for monthly transactions
My friend has been unable to switch since. They have even sent him disconnection notification. He has tried all the possible cards. Payday, Gotok, etc even my bank cards. Nothing

I must pay every month for subscription ? I can’t choose to opt out at any point in time ?
I never really thought about it this way. I guess you mustn't as you can decide to not fund the card. If it's that kinda of card. But yh, in a way you must. I feel like there's a way to pause your service tho.

Mine went off when the rain went 'Gaga' and immediately came back when the rain subsided

I think heavy will affect it while it will work during mild/medium rain

My observation
Pretty much Accurate. Because I still see 60 Mbps while it was raining a few days ago. Spectranet never see that one even when all things bright and beautiful.

I agree. The need for 24 hours electricity is a huge factor. No power means no internet. As I have posted here multiple times...until the power situation in the country is resolved, the country will continue to lag behind. Everything runs through electricity. Constant electricity is critical!
If you have 450K to spend on Internet, you also have money to get a powerbank that will keep it on.

Amazing. So I’ve never been hung up on speed tests. Starlink is fast! The only thing available that is faster is my office wifi and MTN 5G. One is only for work and the other hardly ever works. Everything I’ve thrown at starlink, it has handled effortlessly. Still waiting for heavy rain to see what the experience is like but so far…great buy for me
When it rains, it pause.
