myspace:Na envy the wori am.... Mumu get mind they compare SpaceX to MTN Is that not iberiberism of the highest order. Our data here in Nigeria that is using switch, the network can decide to off ur data anytime any day anyhow without u using upto 30-40% of ur real data. 20 Likes |

fortunez1:No mind that guy MTN wey no dey offer unlimited data plans, but the OP is getting unlimited data plans on Starlink, if not for the stress and how expensive it is for now, I would have gone for it. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Get yourself a dollar debit card from your bank or a virtual dollar card (chipper is reliable) Bonzojoko: |

myspace: Hey bro.... How do people access this ? For example if I place one in my street. Will it be possible to share amongst 100flats in the same streets?? Wit different passwords? Can you also attest to the 50-250mbps that the claim? I am seriously seeking for the business part of this now. Thank you 5 Likes |

stanvesco: Yes you can share it but 100 people might be too much. You'd either deploy a mesh type wifi or have them use fixed outdoor access points or wire it directly to them. 6 Likes 1 Share |

LordReed: Wiring would be out of it for now. Imagine placing it In hostel and attempting to charge students a little fee per usage? You understand the direction I am going?? 2000 for a fair usage would sell very fast in naija. I want to key in early enough bfor the market becomes saturated. 22 Likes |

stanvesco:a maximum of 128 devices can connect to starlink router at the same time. The further away you are from the starlink router, the lower the internet speed. Also the more devices connected to it, the lower the internet speed if those devices are actively using the starlink internet. Starlink internet kit(dish and router) also needs 24 hours electricity to function just like DStv. No electricity, no starlink internet 16 Likes 1 Share |

rookidmart: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. 4 Likes |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by ModCaller: 7:17pm On Dec 19, 2022 |
stanvesco: Of course it's possible. Just buy router for each of those flats and connect them to the starlink router. The speed will be fractioned sha. Just do it wirelessly. But wireless will lead to some loss of speed and latency |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by Bonzojoko: 8:26pm On Dec 19, 2022 |
CSTRR:it depends if you are a heavy data user. Some of us use up to 500gb of data monthly. Non heavy data users should have no business with starlink internet 21 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by rookidmart: 9:03pm On Dec 19, 2022 |
CSTRR: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. 16 Likes 1 Share |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by Bonzojoko: 9:54pm On Dec 19, 2022 |
rookidmart:exactly my point. I also play games on pc and there is always an update every month of up to 20gb per game. By the time you update games like call of duty warzone, apex legends, Fortnite, halo infinite, overwatch 2, you would have exhausted over 100gb in a week. Installing new games can also take up to 40-60gb per game depending on the game. Let's not talk about streaming netflix and watching YouTube videos. I use over 300gb per month which is how life should be if Nigeria is working. Nothing can beat starlink in Nigeria when it comes to unlimited reliable internet with decent speed and latency. I will gladly subscribe to starlink internet if there was an option to pay in Naira at bank dollar exchange rate. I don't want to pay in USD with a dollar virtual card at black market exchange rate. That would be too expensive for the $600 starlink hardware kit 19 Likes 1 Share |

Initial payment is very expensive, given the dollar black market exchange rate. Otherwise, the monthly unlimited price is very cheap. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Kooldon:its very easy talk to people in your street tech friends etc, i and 4 other roommates are sharing 3mbps speed and we stream Netflix on 720p.... up to 2 or 3 streets can share one starlink which is the main joy.... infact most universities in Nigeria wont need more than 5 9 Likes |

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by Bonzojoko: 8:15am On Dec 20, 2022 |
Segun2222:the only way one starlink router can supply more than one street is by getting WiFi extenders or hard wire it to multiple 3rd party routers for which you will need to buy a separate starlink Ethernet adapter because the original starlink hardware doesn't come with Ethernet port. One starlink router is not strong enough to connect to devices far away from the starlink router. Starlink Ethernet adapter only has one Ethernet port so you will also need to buy Ethernet switch to initially connect to the starlink Ethernet adapter after which the other 3rd party routers will now connect to the Ethernet switch. Starlink hardware runs on constant electricity so once nepa takes light, the whole Street will lose internet connection. Also internet speed generally drops when many people are using it at the same time so don't expect the advertised internet speed of 50-250mbps(6MBps-31MBps) when many people are using it at the same time. 6 Likes |

Bonzojoko:wifi extender is very very cheap, bros you keep mentioning speed after i told i and 4 other share 3mbps through wifi, starlink run on power supply same as all Fibre connections here we use inverter and sometimes all this ac/dc PowerBank for a whole street to you use starlink just budget 800-$1k and service is not fully operational yet hence the slow speed 2 Likes |

Segun2222:you are right but what do you think the average Nigerian student will do when he knows he has unlimited internet? My guess is to keep on downloading anything possible. May even start selling downloaded games/movies 11 Likes |
