How would that slow the network further?
These areas are already saturated, hence they have reached capacity. The only way more users can be added is when Starlink commits more resources to these areas or a bunch users move to other unsaturated locations.

As far as reliablity and pricing goes, it's far better than MTN
But the speed has dropped considerably especially during the day
Okay, but still gets the job done

But folks that uses the residential are much more stable than the roaming plan

If they do that, it would further slow the network down, which is already slow as it is.

I don't know if others are experiencing this. It takes about 10 extra minutes for connection due to searching for satellite. He don choke.

In locations like Lagos and Abuja, the difference isn't much these days.

That's not a capacity issue. Most likely, your Starlink's gps component is now faulty. Mine was behaving that way, I escalated it to support, and I was sent a replacement kit.

Well, may be depends on location in Lagos then. I still get average of 30 to 50mbps during peak periods of the day excluding evenings though.

When I tried to preorder earlier, I was placed on 2025 waiting list. However, another attempt to order to my location now says service will be expanded in 2024.

Hopefully, they will add more satellites cos Nigeria's internet demands is not about meeting needs of users in rural areas, the urban population are tired of cleaning up after major network providers and looking for easy way out

If it persists, open a new support ticket on the issue.

Didn't know Starlink was this generous. My subscription expired for over 2 months, they attempted to renew for me but failed. They didn't cut my service for these two months. I just credited the account some days back and renewed with 76k for the two months. I had thought upon expiration my service would be yanked off immediately

Nnaaa guys, sorry for posting here,
I just needed an active topic slightly related.

Iā€™m about you pay 150k annually for 1.5TB 5g router.

I guess my question is has anyone done this before, is it worth it?
My boss, sorry to bother you. Please you fit do me 2k for dinner?
