lordwilliams21:Bro it's satellite tech, it can never go down or slowdown. It's what Ukraine is using now since Russia destroyed their Internet. SpaceX is the only reason Ukraine is in the war. |

You're comparing different categories of Internet service providers. MTN, GLO, AIRTEL, etc are mobile internet service providers. Starlink is a broadband internet service provider. You can't use starlink with your phone except through WiFi. The equipment are not portable. Only good for home and office use. The thing comes with satellite dish o. They are completely different niches. MTN, GLO, Airtel, etc will ALWAYS have their place. 10 Likes |

ModCaller: You are the only one that understands the difference in market niches. Peeps are commenting as if they will be carrying the satellite around. MTN an co are predominantly playing in the mobile space. And the larger percentage of internet access is on mobiles. 2 Likes |

martineverest: Í dont get really. For instance if you have many locations is it that u have to buy device for each location? is there a way i can use one device to cover for more locations even if it means having a higher subscription plan to cover them all? |

Relixy2k:TStv is a local product with no licence to broadcast epl matches, how will it defeat dstv? For heavy data users like us that pay over 50k per month for data, it's rip for mtn and the likes. You should note that I wasn't referring to 3k per month subscribers. 2 Likes |

Ournolly: Yes, you're right. I forgot to add those. It's a win for those establishments because they will pay lesser for data. |

Ournolly: Not sure its much of a gamechanger! Cos its too expensive. From what I gather, the NGN prices posted on the site are just for representation. Once you try to pay, I hear it will request for the USD equivalent. So In effect, the monthly subscription is almost N40k, as you will have to source your dollar at the black market, while the hardware costs is almost N450k. Those are not prices that are game changer prices. Besides if what you have meets your need, why do you necessarily need it. I have 10Mbps Fiber Optic and I can watch FHD with it for N11.5k. If I wanted 20Mbps, it would be N18k or so. So if that works, why do i need to cough out half a million naira of my hard earned money. And our gsm isnt that bad. i've watched matches on my phone at 1080p for the full 90mins several time without major issues. just the occasional drop in resolution now and again. 1 Like |
