Is that big money for data? When given that data you will be earning over a million?

Doing Yahoo+ abi. Guess you have nor travelled out before. Cos if you have, you will know that it's damn expensive

Ebubu3:

Every month $99

But in that one month it is unlimited download and usage.

You can download 1 terabyte film sef

Very fast too

Have you used it to know if it's fast.

41k for data


Say Wetin?

redcliff:


you are not mad, you are just not on the same level as others who can afford it.

How many people can afford N60k per month.

how much is Konnect per month? I know they are on Eutelsat network

Titusojar:
It's too expensive
I rather use Konnect, 6,9k for 20mb/s
One month unlimited data

heryyy:


Yes you can carry it everywhere and anywhere, thats the purpose of starlink, do you own research bro

I have done my research bro, pls give me a link where starlink is portable, which you can carry around for every day use. Eg carry it to work or supermarket like a modem.

Hard time for Cafe business

fabianiyobosa:


Unlimited data Fiber Optics connection where I live at 200Mbps is 8K per month when converted to naira.

Which service provider is that and in which country.

foolbuster:


If that happens competition will spring back up.

u don’t want it? if mtn can give beninoise that have 24/7 light Unlimited data for 20k almost same value with naira. why cant they do same in nigeria?

profmallor:
FG would swindle him, he should ask Branson of how corrupt any Nigerian Government can be. All those Elites has stakes in the Telecos and they wont allow him thrive. I am personally worried as his disruption would cut jobs no 2 way about it.

This is my only fear, it's going to be a welcome development for naija internet space, but starlink is going to cause a major loss to current investors, a lot of loss and lots of job cut

heryyy:


It’s a satelite wifi internet that works all over the country with no service/network restriction, as long as you can see the sky, the starlink wifi internet works, even in a very remote area of Nigeria, e.g Village people can watch netflix on 4k !, you can check youtube videos

For starlink you need a receiver, you have to get a device that receives signal to your modern and transmits to your device by wifi.

mtn making plans to japa. Elon musk is a crazy business man. he will come very cheap. kill other businesses then bring in the main plan.

what's the main plan?

LordofNaija:
Na to buy am open hotspot make my entire street connect for just 1k, per month. Sense no go kill me

you must be an Igbo man
this business sense is beyond

Ebubu3:



Lolz na only to make call we go dey use mtn do

Even call whatsapp call is there no more data off.

9gerian:
A very welcome development.

Data cost about 2 euros (less than N1,500) for 100gb in the EU and environs the last time I checked.

We are being ripped off, although lack of adequate electricity supply is the major excuse for that, especially now that diesel costs have blown the roof.

Only broadband is that cheap.

Odunayaw:
So because you can't afford $99/mo means there aren't people who won't?

$99 is simply operating cost to people who make money online not Netflixers

You're the one who needs to think

so how many people make money online in nigeria(shit hole) to make a company break even

you people will just sit at home in your basement and be typing nonsense online

StarFist:
$99 ??
I dey mad?

It isn't for you, man. Companies are looking for fast speed like this!

thebosstrevor1:

How many do you know? You too typing nonsense.

Ebubu3:


Starlink is far faster than swift

I expect inec and cbn to be using starlink

Oga, forget speed. I still stream videos smoothly on my laptop, phone and internet TV simultaneously with my swift network. What I'm saying is $99/month is way too much

BabalawoPikin:

You don’t know Elon.

Are Teslas cheap?

That price is not bad. If speeds are good and solid as advertised. I pay $59/month here for unlimited with Comcast here in the US. This is for 100 Mbps down/12 Mbps up. I always get the advertised speed.

Ebubu3:

Having unlimited data is one thing. However, having the uninterrupted electricity to really allow one to enjoy the unlimited streaming/data is another. Without solving the electricity issue, one can't really derive full benefits of unlimited internet.

YESSConsulting:


Which EU are you talking about please?
Please, stop misleading the people.
Even though WiFi is available in many locations like schools, some trains, etc, data from service providers is not cheap.

Don't mind him. Let him be there lie. Labara 3G is £5.

thebosstrevor1:

I know your type

Bad news for law enforcement. Now getting IP address ownership will require MLAT unless starlink stores data in Nigeria which I doubt. Chasing yahoo boys via ip addresses will now require musk's company to cooperate.

airsaylongcome:


I'm on FiberOne as well. But with Static IP which shoots the price above the roof.

They are ripping you off. I use "fibre" too and it comes with a static ip by default
40Mbps #21k.
Switch your provider.

Guy where you buy 100GB data for 2 Euro?

Perhaps, you are limiting yourself with your mind alone.

COMPAQ:


How many people can afford N60k per month.

i wont lie, you are right..not many. but there are some who can. especially, if the internet is the source of their income.

9gerian:
I repeat. This was a personal experience that I had in 2019 on a business trip to Paris.

No jokes 2 euros for 100gb was subscribed on new line that I was given by the host partners in Paris. I confirmed and was mindful of this fact because it became part of the main consideration during the business discussion about a project whose franchise was deployed easily as-is via the internet in France (and Europe generally) because data was cheap. However, the franchisee segment of the business couldn’t be deployed as-is in Nigeria because data was quite expensive, and would prove onerous to potential franchisees.

An additional issue was the electricity supply that would also increase operating costs. Only the online aspect of the business was eventually deployed (imagine!!!).

That is why my statement was clear about the last time I personally took note (2019). However, with rising energy cost now in Europe, the rates may have changed but the difference will still be clear even if it is a 100% increase or more, else all their tv viewership which typically runs on internet streaming would be worst hit.

The bottom line is that data is very expensive in Nigeria, and some of the government officials (NCC) have repeatedly tried to address it.

it could be an incentive for only new subscribers. That could be the case. True. but that is not the norm.
