sonickay:Oya give us update oooh. Have you activated it? |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 10:41am On Jul 03 |
Yes, it didn't connect to Satellites for quite a while but then I updated my service address and it went into Restricted mode. 20mins later it went online and I was billed 38k for Residential. As I didn't prepare to receive the shipment within 4days, I had to put it on the roof of a shed where there is lot of obstructions. Highest speed I got was 63mps down and 23mps up which is quite good. When I move it higher I will post screenshots. udatso:

They are sending me a replacement, but the router will arrive month end while the cable will arrive before Friday? How? |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 7:09pm On Jul 03 |
Kee p checking the tracking code. I don't know how or who processed your replacement but I observed that they have started delivering faster than their shipping dates state, so your delivery date could change. Alternately, you can message support to fast-track the shipping for the Router on the ground that you are solely relying on Starlink and have something urgent to do with it in a week as you couldn't wait for their delivery date ibietela2: |

I placed an order for the Ethernet Adapter, I see it's discounted now to 30k. Can someone please recommend a Router that has VPN and can broadcast signal over an extended range (used preferably) cis Starlink's coverage is poor? |

xtremeidea: Bro, what of the starlink mini? Is it available and how can I place an order? |

ibietela2:I don leave am for the almighty. Thank goodness say I don book for residential wey go activate on the 12th. |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by xtremeidea(m): 6:23am On Jul 04 |
iebanehita: Not sure if it's available for our region yet. |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by udatso: 12:29pm On Jul 04 |
sonickay:Congratulations 🎉 Don't worry about the speed, it would improve. Mine started at 50 to 60mbps but now average 100-150mbps and it's just placed on the floor of my compound. 1 Like |

dastudent: The good thing is, even though its slow it still BEATS whatever MTN is giving me in this area... na steady light be my major problem. |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by ibietela2(m): 5:22pm On Jul 04 |
sonickay: Thanks, let me contact them |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 6:48pm On Jul 04 |
You are right, mine is placed on a low elevated surface for now and despite the obstructions I now get 80 to 150mbps. I also find it interesting that I could observe Starlink behavior while not at home (screenshot below). It's how I know who is connected and if there is power supply now udatso: 1 Like 1 Share

ibietela2: I agree...i average 24mbps on my Starlink, but it does far better than my MTN which I think was same speed or so. My Teams calls are clearer now and videos stream better 1 Like |

Please, is there a way I can increase the WiFi coverage of my Starlink? Network disappears when I am about 40ft away from the router. |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 1:27pm On Jul 05 |
I used an address at Lotto Bus Stop close to the police station, you can use that as Service Address and use your current address as shippin address To3i: |

You will have to get a Router, that's what I have decided to do odimbannamdi: 1 Like |

sonickay: Please, is there anyone you recommend? I have this MTN router though. Will it work effectively?

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by odimbannamdi(m): 5:06pm On Jul 05 |
georgee: Boss, do you mind if I also send a DM regarding this? |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by odimbannamdi(m): 5:13pm On Jul 05 |
sonickay: If it's the Lotto bustop I know that is just after Aseese bustop, it is at least 50km away from Palmgrove where he actually is. The difference in location is significant and he may have Restriction issues |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by georgee(m): 7:26pm On Jul 05 |
odimbannamdi:Sure.. |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by odimbannamdi(m): 8:07pm On Jul 05 |
georgee: Done. Thanks bro |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 8:45pm On Jul 05 |
Yes, it should since it can broadcast network odimbannamdi: |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 9:05pm On Jul 05 |
That's truly far. Palmgrove is too central,minimum distance with service is about 40km away. He could try it though, if it doesn't work, he could return the device and ask for a refund within 30days odimbannamdi: 1 Like |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by GoodBoi1(m): 6:56am On Jul 06 |
sonickay:I am trying to understand. Did you update the service address to lotto bus stop and then it worked? |
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by dunmorrix(m): 7:37am On Jul 06 |
Starlink only deducts 51 naira from my verve card how can I make payments in full. |
