Ayomipoe:
Ah nice!
I'll try Kuda and see. Thank you!

oliverwrites:
So I ordered my starlink today. I hope I don't have to wait one month before getting it.

Ayomipoe:
Have you gotten a delivery date yet?

oliverwrites:
Yes. Should be delivered today Monday 16 of October. I was thinking it will take up to one month.

Ayomipoe:
Was it delivered as scheduled?

oliverwrites:
No. DHL said yesterday but nothing. They emailed me today but still nothing.

BadMaster:

I hope you are tracking it? If it was shipped by Starlink Lagos, then it's possible your phone number is not included in the shipment details, so you may need to call DHL and also update the tracking details with your phone number. We have discussed on this issue with shipment originating from Starlink Lagos in the past.

What's the status of the shipment now?

Ayomipoe:
Mine has arrived. I called them tho.

oliverwrites:
It has arrived. Just got a call from my boy to that effect.

BadMaster:

Fantastic 👌

Ayomipoe:
It activated and is already asking for another 38k.
Is that normal ?
How is it calculated

BadMaster:

I believe this is a new development, because you are not the only one that has complained about this recently.

For those of us, the early adopters in Nigeria, we used it for free for at least 2 to 3 weeks before a payment statement was generated for our accounts.

However, according to Starlink, your 30day free usage starts counting once your kit is shipped. But, given your experience, we can see it's no longer so.

Log into your Starlink account, click on the 'BILLING' tab at the top. Now scroll down to the bottom left and show me what you see there, like in the screenshot below

oliverwrites:
I am now using my starlink. Thanks to you all. I hope it doesn't get disrupted by rain.

Also, I will like to know if it is possible to pay for like one year in advance? 1 year or even 6 months will work better for me than month by month.

ibawon:

No, also asked them some months ago. The best thing to do is to dedicate a card for it and forget the payment there. Also are you outside of Lagos, so we can see your speed test.

oliverwrites:
I am in Lagos.

On my worker's phone it is 64mps on my mac it is 23mps.

Still better than airtel's 30k per 10 days nonsense.

Ayomipoe:
LOOOL
I am guessing it is Airtel shenanigans that made you flee. Those guys want to send me back to my village.

Speed for me has been great between 20Mbps and 80Mbps. However, there are 7-9 devices on my network and everyone is doing their thing, no yawa. No obstructions for me(Yay!)
God punish Airtel.

oliverwrites:
Airtel has gotten me to seme border, he remain small make they push me enter porto novo ( I am Beninese ) but I dodge am with starlink.

I saw slot selling starlink to people for 500k. Hahaha. My current speed is 10mps

Ayomipoe:
That's weird. Are you sure you don't have obstruction ? I would have expected faster speeds.

BadMaster:

Make sure your dishy has a clear view of the sky, with no obstruction in view, especially to the north.

Also, enable the 5Ghz channel in the Starlink app. It's way faster than the 2.4Ghz, which is enabled by default.

oliverwrites:
WOW, I changed to 5Ghz and now 150mbps. Crazy.

georgee:

Na now u come

oliverwrites:
I have average of 130mbps this morning, I compared it to airtel and on airtel it is 900kbps highest. Whoever recommended airtel to me before did me bad.

No more 60k per month, no more 24k per month for dstv. That's almost 50k per month savings for me.

georgee:

60K per month airtel
24K for DSTV


You are now liberated
