Yet they changed the currency on their website from USD to NGN and registered the business entity in Nigeria?

Let's remain positive.

Great a walk-in office
Meaning you can pay naira cash and collect your device

Correct me if I’m wrong?

Lannister360:


Did you just say "a lot" ?

My friend stop saying rubbish, you and I know that very very very very few young people in Nigeria earns that much so don't quote me and start defending the rubbish you just said please, it'll be very annoying please.

Don't mind him, I can boldly say Nigeria youths that can afford that isn't up to 10k out of millons youths.

Guy if you can't afford it then settle for the one you can afford. Trust me a blogger will go for starlink

Lannister360:


What is starling ?
Wetin this one de talk ni ?
Nigeria when people never see food chop na them de put hardware price for 268k, them never ready to do business.

Okay

Has anyone made the payment in naira?

Do they have a bank account to transfer to?

If payment is online via their normal channel, it will not work because it will be based on dollar not naira.

JUMO95:
if you are a working boi avoid this starlink.
you can be easily traced with this kind of information

Why are you warning them? So they can continue stealing and robbing people of their hard earned monies?

Inali:
What's starlink?

Something that will link your phone to the stars

Speed? 1TB?

NinjaXmetahuman:
well said.

I read starlink is planning to cap the speed at 1TB starting February this year.

That doesn't sound nice.

I prefer my 5Geeeeeeeee

litaninja:
Speed? 1TB?

There is no Data cap or trolling in Nigeria

This is Good news but not for the gboy because it's easily traceable and it's more cheaper

dustmalik:

This is true. At the point of payment, it shows the equivalent in dollars.

If anyone knows the easiest way to reach Elon musk or Starlink, we can pressure them to charge us in Naira, given that Starlink is now a registered entity in Nigeria, just like Netflix and Amazon prime.

you subscribe to those services you mentioned with naira debit card anymore.

Na wah for our government seriously, in this modern age they are still accepting a foreign country's internet service?
They will definitely use it to spy on the govt, and secondly they get you addicted to it and then they sanction you with it

aieromon:


I did not finalise the transaction after receiving OTP from my bank.

Which site are you buying from?

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.

Source: https://www.starlink.com/

Do you know if the network can be shared so two persons can bear the cost of subscription?

I pay 12,500 for Tizeti which has been trash lately ,I already placed an order for my father.

If they are in close enough proximity yes. Speed will reduce the further away from the router you are. Of course, you can hard wire and then start to experiment with connecting a switch to it and then a router to the switch.

Starlink better do 1200 for 3gig otherwise they are not ready for bizness

Which of the Nairas, the old one or Emefiele & buharis own?

i am getting this immediately .

rookidmart:


This is nice.

My quote in the linked thread refers:


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.

Can one resell the data to multiple people?

Thanks for responding. I actually meant sharing within the same compound.

Meanwhile, does it mean Starlink isn't mobile? What if I'm going to lodge in a hotel?

They disable the hardware if you resell access.

Wait till everyone joins the wagon and all that early excitement starts to fade away. Satellite datalinks are not optimisted for heavy traffic.

Space X will need to put more satellites in orbit in order to accommodate more customers and maintain user experience. This is where satellite business model flops

Well they do plan (and have gotten approval) to double the number of satellites in the coming years. Time would tell if the planned increases along the line (more than 42,000 satellites) would suffice.
Admittedly they do state that their target market is not everyone, just those in rural areas.

porthouse7:
not for people wey never chop, other options are available

People when never chop na over 90% for this Country, so na the less than 10% when don chop go patronise them ni? Like I said, them never ready do business for this Country.

oluwaseyi0:


Keep underestimating Nigerian

Nigerian are richer than they are willing to admit

If this stuff really click, you will be surprise to see it almost everywhere

If you know how many people have died due to hunger in this Case you will delete that your post, you think it's a joke? I guess you live in an ajebor environment so you think everyone is doing fine. Try visiting some states apart from Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt and see how people are struggling to eat once a day you'll understand.

10% is more than population enough for them, always aspire
