Hello all, please what's the experience like ordering this Device from Jumia? Hope they don't send already registered devices? How long does it take to receive the device from them after payment?

Same thing (afterall Konga didn't manufacture it, they're only reselling).
You probably want to measure the distance from dish point to router point; should you need to get a longer cable. People have reported a default 50ft long cable. And please no free month; your card would be charged once router wakes up. The free 30days actually means if you don't like it within 30 days; return and get 100% refund. You might also want to buy the ethernet adapter for wired internet connectivity via an external router. Good luck.

Which ethernet adapter would you recommend or does it come with a great one? Also does it the kit come unregistered or registered? Is there any difference from ordering from konga and jumia ?

The position i intend placing the dish is kinda long I think to the router point

The Starlink kit costs #440k on Konga and according to them doesn't come with the complimentary 1 month subscription, while buying directly from Starlink, it comes with a month subscription and costs #456k.

Was the Konga rep correct? Who has purchase this from Konga and is using it?

Yes.

Starlink has a proprietary adapter and it doesn't come with one. If you need it, it cost 44k from their main website. I don't know about Konga. Buying from the website requires you to create an account during the process and the device will be tied to that account. Measure the distance if it's more than 50ft, you need at least the 75ft cable at 87k; or the 150ft (if so) at 110k official starlink prices.
Good luck once again.

Kit comes unregistered and easy to setup. The time to receive package depends on location (7 working days maximum).

zebszebs:


Did it come with a subscription of one month?

Bought mine directly from Starlink April 2022. I think it came with 1 month sub.. Can't really remember now

Do you mean sometimes the package might come with adapter and it might not come ? I thought therre should one standard for all customers. Also can you pls give me a direct link to purchase the 150ft on starlink official site? I can't seem to find it. Thanks for the responses bro

Baba you go buy me beer oh. Anyways, no the adapater doesn't come with it no matter the package. There should be one standard for all customers; you have to take that up with Elon. I am unable to paste a link, i might get banned by the bot.
Just search for "starlink shop" on Big G and then follow the first link. Mind you, you need to be authenticated i.e. have an account and you can only have an account by ordering for Starlink. So place an order first and we'll take it from there

i have tried kuda just now ..i didnt work.. i have tried gtb,zenith, acess, uba ,firsbank verve , chipper .. nothing works ..so i cant use the device i just bought ..is that not a waste of money

Ayomipoe:
Kuda works for me.

Hmm, that's weird.
I am not sure its the cards then. Guru's in the house, does Starlink shadow ban? Because I paid for my sub on Friday and it went through.

Where did you buy it from and where are you going to make use of it cause location might be an issue. Alternatively you could email them.

i got it on jumia ...because even to purchase from starlink website no card works

Do you have enough to cover the subscription on the cards you are trying?

Have you tried Alat by WEMA? If yes, then you need to contact support.
Also it's pretty cool to have extra "change" on top what is to be deducted.
Some people have had success that way

i have extra change ..over extra sef ...i have used alat by wema ..nothing i never try bro ..i don contact bank support ..contact starlink support sef dem say dem go get back to me

Could it be your location is congested?

congestion ? ..im no where lagos ..i can assure you starlink users in my area arent up to 50...apart from that congestion has nothing to do with payment

The card that works for me all the time is Providus Classic Naira MasterCard. It's issued instantly at the bank. The good thing about the card is that, even though it is denominated in Naira, it can be used to make purchases in dollars. The only sites/services it doesn't work on are those that specifically require a US billing address.

If I were you, I would get the card ASAP.

there is no providus bank in my city ..do they have a virtual card or something maybe i can open an account on thier app

I am not sure they do, haven't looked into it.

QuoteJust1nce:


Calm down sir. I just told you that my Starlink isn't bypassed and I also do 300+Mbps during non-peak hours. The same for many other people who have no external routers. We are at different locations and peak periods would differ. Also, If you're on Residential, you get full speed at all times. On roaming, not quite so. It's not a router thing; as no router on earth can make Starlink go past what its modem was designed for.

Improved range: Yes
Improved speed (in dead zones): Yes
More speed than what Starlink was designed for: No
Same speed without this router possible: Yes

Finally someone understands it.
Wi-Fi 5 routers have limit of 1gbps which is far above what starlink can offer... Getting a WiFi 6 with 5-10gbps won't increase what strarlink can give you at that particular location and time.

Your router choice will give you advantage if it has better reach than the starlink router or others. It just happens that WiFi 6 routers of today, some are having better reach tech. There are WiFi 5 routers with even great reach.

With my WiFi 5 I router I hit 360mbps and have far wider reach than native router

Good afternoon guys , pls I like to know the solar set up that can powered my tv , starlink decoder. , my lg boom speaker and maybe like three bulbs . For at least 24 hours or 12 minimum.what figure should I be budgeting for or is there a power bank that can only power my starlink for minimum of 12 hours , I would be waiting for your suggestion and ideas guys or those that have the kind of setup I want .

Of all these tries I no see you mention Ecobank.
After Gtb stopped working I moved to Ecobank and it always works for me.
The day Ecobank stops, omo I won't know what to do again

Same here.. I bought off jumia.. Tried over 10 Nigerian bank cards none seem to work... I just tire

zebszebs:
I just tried my Zenith bank USD card and it didnt work on starlink.com

If I purchase off Konga, how will I be able to purchase my subscriptions since major bank cards dont work?
