Oya, let me add that for the first time since February of 2023 I used 2TB on my Starlink. All thanks to Gamepass. However, this month is almost half and we just dey drag feet at less than 500gb
Wow that’s huge. I’ve only been able to hit the 1TB mark twice since I started using mine since 2023. That’s the beauty of unlimited data. You will keep downloading until you eventually runout of things to download. These past few months, I hardly go above 800gb before the month runs out

I missed that news. That's great but I pity the loss of profits that will result from exchange rate differentials for Starlink
I believe it’s just temporary. Won’t be surprised if the new price finally takes effect by January 2025.

So, did Starlink step down on the new charges? I received a mail that I am due to pay 38k instead of the expected 75k.

I sprinted to my browser and the payment went through surprisingly?

Has anyone paid 75k or it's not taking effect today?
Already in the news last month that Starlink has suspended the price increase for now

Good afternoon everyone.
Please I’m not trying to derail the thread.
Has anyone made use of the LENOVO XIAOXIN PAD PRO 2025. The tab seems to have better specs than the Xiaomi pad 6 or Xiaomi redmi pad pro and it’s just under $300 on Aliexpress?

Bros I sabi wetin I dey talk na. I reside in Lagos, commute frequently to Ikeja. I have checked their coverage and I pass/ dine where they supposedly have 5g. It either doesn't show up or work. Average of 70MBps in Ikeja, where I live in Ipaja it's even worse, like 15MBps. Abegi, please anyone that has Airtel and has used 5g in Lagos, please let me know the area let me carry my a modem and try it. How can I have 5g router for 7months plus and I have not tasted it.

It has happened. I expected it, but this is too steep... Oboy! .. sad sad sad.

Standard (Residential): ₦75,000
Mobile - Regional (Roam Unlimited): ₦167,000
Mobile - Global (Global Roam): ₦717,000
I knew this was going to happen sooner or later but the price increase is really much ooo almost a 100% increase. With this, in 2 to 3 months time Lagos is going to have some open slots for the residential plan because I’m certain not everyone can keep up with this new price. Time for Airtel to aggressively market their unlimited plans in order to gain some Starlink customers over.

Year of service is typically the year you finished service.

Are you 100% sure about this statement? Reason I’m asking is because just above the nysc certificate number, the year everyone started their nysc is boldly written there.
Why write it so boldly especially at the top if it doesn’t represent the year of service.

Starlink is currently down. From the comments I’m seeing on X(Twitter) and Reddit, I believe it’s all over the world
Finally back online after over 20minutes. This is my first time experiencing such with Starlink. I actually liked the fact that they quickly acknowledged the issue on x and were quick to resolve it too

Phones / Re: Iphone 11 Pro Max: I Can't Hear Someone On A Call Except With A Loud Speaker by otis54(m): 12:17pm On May 12, 2024
BigDickProblems:
Experienced phone engineers, could you kindly tell me what the issue with my Phone (11 pro max).

To watch a video or play music, I can't hear anything (very low sound it makes) except I put the phone close to my ear or use a Bluetooth device.

Also, when I receive a call, my phone rings with a very low sound (just the same low sound when you play music and video) but I won't hear the person on the other side. I can only manage to hear them a little bit clearer when I turn on the loud speaker.

Today is Sunday, I can't go to a close by market, however, I feel I can get to know from you guys, before going anytime I'm chanced. Thanks in anticipation.
Have you tried cleaning the speaker grill of your phone. You can google ‘’how to clean my iPhone speaker’’. It’s a very simple process you can do yourself. If that doesn’t work, then you can take it to a phone technician but please look for someone qualified.

Bro, when did you buy your starlink and when did you report this issue to starlink. I am having thesame issue, but when I unplug and replug the cable like 5 times, it eventually picks. This happens almost everytime I switch off the router. I have to unplug and replug the cable like 3 to 5 times before it eventually comes back online. I have been suspecting that the cable has issues but its been over a year since I bought my starlink so I have been thinking even if I contact support, they may say I should pay for new cable since my starlink is over a year now. When did you buy yours and how long between then and the time you contacted support for the issue maybe I may still be eligible for free new cable too
Mine isn’t up to a year yet but you can complain to customer support. There are others who complained to Starlink regarding the same issue and they’ve had their Starlink for over a year plus, which they got a new cable all for free. So quickly message customer support, I’m sure they will surely send you a new cable

My Starlink went offline overnight and I’ve tried switching it off and on, disconnecting and reconnecting the cables at both ends (Starlink and router), I even tried resetting the router but I’m still offline. Whenever the router is trying to calculate orientation, it goes offline immediately and stays offline. Messaged support this morning, took all the necessary pictures and after a few minutes, I got a reply from support that a new cable has been sent to me at no extra cost. Through my Starlink account, I can see they are preparing the shipment.
Hopefully, the cable arrives as soon as possible. Starlink is really trying when it comes to customer support.
UPDATE

My new cable got delivered today (9 days in total including weekend) It took this long because the cable was sent from USA California and we also had public holiday in Nigeria. I called someone to help sign and receive the package from DHL. Connected the new cable this evening immediately I got home and my Starlink is back online.

Got ya! One other thing I should mention (for other cases) would be that if your Starlink was in the middle of an update and lost power; you'd be in a world of pain. Unless you do one of two things:
1. Unpug the router for at least mins or more, or
2. Do a reset
It happened to me, no be say, dem say! In my case, it would show that it was establishing connection, and then disconnect, saying the cable was unplugged or there was a faulty connection between router and dish. No matter how many times I turned it on and off, and replug the cable, nothing worked. I even waited and left it on for many hours. It didn't work. Until I unplugged it and let it stay without electricity for a while.

Well in my case there was no power loss because I make use of inverter. I also left it unplugged yesterday when I was going out and when I got back home in the evening, I plugged it back in but still the same.

There is even no need going up to the roof. If you check the Starlink app, Advanced and then find Debug data
You can see the "Cable ping drop rate" under Router submenu. This should be 0% at all times.
If it's greater than zero , it means there is a break in the cable and a new cable would solve it. If it is currently 0% with your old cable,
then a new cable won't solve the issue.
When complaining to support, part of what they request for is a picture of the dish and it’s surrounding area in order to verify that the dish has a clear view of the sky.
They suggested that I try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable at both ends (dish and router) which I told them I already did.
The last was pictures of the cable connection at both ends (dish and router) which I had to go up the roof again to snap that of the dish.

BadMaster:

Have you tried to detach and reattach the cable that goes into the dishy?
Had to go up the roof twice this morning just to disconnect and reconnect the cable for the first time since when I installed it up there. The cable issue didn’t just start today. My Starlink had been going offline for some time but usually once I unplug and plug the router back, it usually connects back online but today seems to be different. I made sure I exhausted all options trying to fix it before contacting support.
