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.

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.

Thanks for this insight. I just placed an order and will pickup tomorrow or friday.

House, please i will need guidance on how to go from here...I stay in Ota, Ogun State so i hope capacity here isnt full like Lagos from what i have read so far on this thread.

How do i register for residential and what other accessories do i need to get (wall mount, ethernet adapter etc)

Hi Femi,

How is your Starlink connection going? Were you able to get the residential option?
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by Innocentab: 4:41pm On Jun 30
Please I have a question, is it possible for the serial number on the router to be different front the one on the app. Because I sensed an engineer has changed my router but I needed to confirm before taking step
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 6:13pm On Jun 30
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

I had 150+ ground level, up my water tank it never gets to 100... maybe give it time
Yes after some days it stabilized to around 120Mbps
One thing I noticed the speed is at its maximum in the early hrs of the morning but begins to drop as the nights gets closer
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by laptopsforsale: 3:16pm On Jul 01
Just got my Starlink. Couldn't bear another day of terrible network so I had to drive down to Konga Office in CV to get it. The size unnerved me. I never knew it was this large! Pictures and videos don't do justice to the size o

Just a few questions though.

The package contains the router, dish, AC cable and the long connection cable and manual. Are these all the package should contain?...no mind my question abeg, I just dey paranoid

Also, they showed me the PN and SN number (just very visible on the carton) which I would use to activate the device. Is this correct? I thought this number would be on the device inside the carton and away from visible view?

I stay around Mowe. Is it likely that I will get the Residential plan of 38k, considering most areas are now congested and only have the Roam plan of 49k?

If I register on Residential and need to move apartments, is it possible to change the address or plan?

Abeg make una advise me...I still dey the Konga office, in case I need to return am.... grin

I ordered my Starlink from Jumia and I reside in Omoku/Rivers State where I'm making use of the device.
Prior to mounting the device, at ground level when I did my speed test I got about 79 Mbps after mounting the device on a pole I was expecting to get at least above 100Mbps to my utmost surprise the speed dropped to below 70 Mpbs.

Please gurus in the house I need your help on how to troubleshoot the problem

I think this has to do with your positioning,
Check for obstructions too.

Hello chiefs. Good evening.
My Starlink router got burnt while plugged in.
Is there anything that can be done about it if i make a complaint.

Thanks

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

I replaced mine with the new one. The router comes with a new plug wire. You will also find that the old plug wire still works, it's only the router that got damaged.
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 2:24pm On Jul 02
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?

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 2:50pm On Jul 02
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

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
