It did and I find that interesting.

I got 365mbs at some point but it's gone down to 200+

On a norm, I get between 115 to 210mbs or down to 55 when the network is "bad".

Is bad even the right word to use for 55mbps

55Mbps is better than MTN sef... the first day I activated, I got 185+ then it dropped.
I wish they changed the dish too

I bought mine for 118k Computer Village

Good thing is the Router is a beast, I didn't even need to put it inside my apartment, I placed it somewhere outside my apartment and signal just full everywhere

Outside your apartment? dem no go thief am? Will look for a permanent position when the replacement router arrives because I want to pass the cable via ceiling, I did a replacement stand sef

You hired a welder, you wan bring down the satellite?

It's not even comparable, the consistency is the key, even if it's 30mbps. They even went far with outage reports

Bro, you can directly connect 128 to 254 devices. Na you go tire
RoddyStan:


Does this mean I can connect more devices than starlink limit?
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 5:36pm On Jul 09
Wow, mine was restricted until I changed the Service Address. I advise you to do that though.

So which location did you use when you shipped it, it was inconceivable for us to pin a good distance for you as nearest available location was about 35kms away to you

And share your obstruction and speed tests with us
GoodBoi1:

Yippee!!! I have received the starlink and activated it. I used an available service location about 23-24km from my shipping address since my location is "Expanding in 2025" on starlink website. It took close to one hour to connect, might be weather, and the app did not ask me to change my service location or show restricted mode. Now I am on residential plan, 38k has been deducted from my account. Thanks for the tip : smiley smiley smiley

I used a location in Lusada - Igbesa Rd, Ado Odo/Ota 100001, Ogun State. In order to get the location, I had to compare the starlink coverage maps with google maps. From my location I measured about 24km radius to closest available area in Ogun state which was in Lusada on google maps. I checked several locations there on starlink map and they were available. For now I just placed starlink on my verandah, the speeds are okay for 4k videos. Highest speed I saw was around 220 mbps. The speed fluctuates but overall it is okay since it is unlimited compared to MTN. I have changed my location to my current coordinates. I hope the preview invoice for next monthwill not change. Is your next month preview invoice still saying 38k? I saw that the invoice updates everyday.

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by sonickay(m): 8:53am On Jul 10
Wow, that's great. You should consider relocating the dish safely to higher grounds once and for all.

The speed is cool too for 38k per month.

My billing shows I am due to pay 38j next month since I am fully on residential

Starlink says I have an unobstructed view of the sky despite this small red patch.

I am considering moving it just a bit since I suspect a pole beside it must be the cause.

DataMina:

Yes after some days it stabilized to around 120Mbps
One thing I noticed the speed is at its maximum in the early hrs of the morning but begins to drop as the nights gets closer

What speed do you get between 6pm and 11pm?
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by frugal(m): 7:04pm On Jul 10
udatso:

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.

What speed do you get in the evenings? My fiber has become totally useless in the evenings.

I bought a solar panel but I noticed when I use it on my starlink I hear some news coming from my starlink router like it about to blow off. I usually off the router so it don’t burn off because of the noise. Please can anybody know why the sound is coming out from the router
Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by lukfame(m): 9:07am On Jul 11
Finally got my replacements and Starlink up.

Thanks

+234 816 073 7271 is her number

Here is a picture of the Router. I have also attached a screenshot from the Tether App for the router which allows you to see which devices are connected and manage the network from anywhere without being ohysically close to it.

That's very untrue. Starlink will be firing in serious rain and you wont even notice any drop except you keep doing Speed Tests

I bought an Ethernet Adapter from Starlink Store for 33k, it has two ports (one port for dish cable and one for ethernet cable which goes to your 3rd party router). It is selling for a discount at the moment and is delivered within 2-3days after order is made

What's your speed like, you have a very clear view.

I assume that blank space is the equator line where SpaceX cant place satellites
