lhordspy: I smell a big big rat the two pictures were taken at sterling headquarters in America last year July. Adequate from starling. Did not mention anything about the speed and the course which is very fishy. Because at least in the other African country that trial it was 160 mbps 400 US dollar a month and the equipment was around 700 u.s. dollar. This one is actually a fish or a rat which is incomplete. I have not found anywhere on the internet which talks about cost of products and hardware delivery to Nigeria. This might be another fantasy like Amazon coming to naija. It might be another one like when they said it was coming to Angola and it never arrived Elon Musk starlink. How much did the government pay for this tweet |

lhordspy: This is the situation in Nigeria and the illiteracy of the people once they see another African country doing something they start pulling themselves. Let's start from Amazon Then we move to Sterling Then we move to Walmart Then we move to US dollar ATM machine. What happened to the Google data centre which was supposed to be complete in Nigeria not even started. It looks like one politician just sit down and start dreaming and the illiterate masses follow. Where is the equipment in Nigeria where is the test results is it a Twitter with which we don't even know which is going to give us the hard to result 1 Like |

Qtrpst4: Before you open your mouth or type something please use your brain if your brain is an illiterate brain try to get educated. SpaceX starlink is the cheapest form of internet in the world at a price of 100 US dollar for 160 mbps. If you want that same data plan from MTN they will charge you something like 300 US dollar. From the test results all over Africa it is the cheapest but no result has been done in Nigeria yet . The only countries South Africa Ghana and Kenya test results work done and equipment was sold a month later. It is limited order on hardware and equipment 100 to 200 per African country 2 Likes |

Bossman: You can choose to plan the one which is fixed you cannot move it with more than 100 m, or you can choose the plan which is fully flexible you can carry the dish wherever you like in the world even in the middle of the ocean. These are the two plants which are available In order African countries. The one which is fully movable you can put it on your vehicle's roof or caravan roof or boat or ship is about 30 to 40 US dollar more expensive in other African countries 1 Like |

Brian47: Who told you the equipment is about $700 and you will pay about 100 US Dollar in months for the non flexible option. The flexible option where you can move all over the world with it at a speed not exceeding 40 km an hour will cost 140 dollars for every month |

People jubilating over this are fools, at this age we should be able to manufacture our own high speed satellite, and not allow foreigners to come spy on us with their satellites |

lhordspy: Let's be educated the owner might have released that week because he is not the first time it has happened he did the same thing in Angola and it never took off. July last year he made a tweet in Angola that day will be the first in Africa and nothing happened. Let's be very educated where is the test result of the equipment. South Africa Ghana and Kenya have all done their test results and the range on speed is between 140 to 200 mbps but. 100 u.s. dollar a month. How can you just released a book like that with no backup evidence where can I buy the equipment in Nigeria no way |

You have to understand Elon Musk is a business person similar to Donald Trump. He makes a lot of wild claims and do not follow on them especially. He has been fighting for over 6 months with President Putin on Twitter. He has reopen Donald Trump's Twitter account. He has made a lot of wild claims I do not deliver. This looks like the story of the u.s. dollar ATM machines which was supposed to be in banks but are nowhere to be seen since 2020. Anything happens he just jumped on the bandwagon and truth about it |

Lukgaf: Be very wise in what you are getting into because what you reap is what you sow. This timely issue the government has been making noise about it since 2022 match. Just every time they will make noise to three months later you hear nothing next year they're a game making the same noise then you hear nothing again that is how it has been going |

I am officially said that this story might before 419. It looks like since 2021 the Nigerian government has been making noise about this starlink coming to Nigeria. Last year July Elon Musk made the same tweet Last year they claimed he has started operation and this year they're claiming he has started operation how many times does a company start operation. So today government narrative since July last year 2022 he has started operation the hardware's are nowhere to be seen. 419 beware

michoim: Instead of fighting ourselves on nairaland let us see even if the story is true. Because I can see big cracks in this story it does not make sense. He just looks like the Amazon story. When these people see another African country doing something they start making noise with nothing to show for it |

It's a satellite service. No, it won't pave way for cheap or affordable internet. Any space venture is many times more expensive than its terrestrial equivalent. Lukgaf: 1 Like |

They operate with small low orbit satellites so they are everywhere already. Just buy the hardware. You can use it anywhere you are. They don't need to lay cables anywhere. Nbote: |

It's nothing to be bragged about. The service is highly needed in Nigeria, so it's a good market for him. In South Africa, nobody will buy it. |
