My Starlink Review After Porting From Airtel Unlimited by Pastorjohn2: 5:47am On Aug 17 |
Hello everyone, I made a post on my review on the airtel 5G unlimited router. Let's just say the speed nearly drove me mad, There were times I couldn't use the router unless at night time because it was just too slow. It's truly unlimited but the speed is a joke. So last month I purchased starlink and it cost me about 440k on jumia with 38k monthly subscription fee and I must say, The speed is incredible! I experience an average of 200-300mbps and even hit up to 458mbps as compared to airtels 20mbps. I can download a 75gb file in 1 hour but I used 3 days to download a 100gb file with airtel router. The only major disadvantage is, If you don't have constant power then you have to use your gen constantly to power it and it's not portable at all. You'd have to completely unwire it to take it to another location and the data plans are very specific to your current location. So if I go from Lagos to Abuja, I can't use it in Abuja as I'd have to resub again for Abuja location. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it! My videos almost never buffer even at the highest possible quality. 91 Likes 14 Shares

PraiseGod4u: Most likely a location issue. I use the airtel unlimited 20 plan with an ODU and I get a seamless experience. Streaming, browsing and downloads in a breeze. I guess user experiences differ. Everyone should use what works for them. The most important consideration is that one gets value for money well spent. 76 Likes 7 Shares

All the 5g network in Nigeria na pure scam. How can you call a network 5g, and still be struggling at 60mbps? A real 5g network should average 1gbps. Starlink dropping 400mbps dey try. But I still feel that when they create their base in Lagos, Ogun and PH, the speed will improve and also fix the location based issues. Better 38k @ 400mbps than 50k @ 60mbps by Airtel. 81 Likes 7 Shares |

Pastorjohn2:So if am relocating how do I reconfigure it to the new location or shey na to buy another one. |
Re: My Starlink Review After Porting From Airtel Unlimited by BadMaster: 10:11am On Aug 17 |
Blitzking:That statement the OP made is incorrect. If you are on the residential plan, which I believe the OP is, you simply need to change the service address to your new location. You don't have to resubscribe simply because you moved to a new location. Though, you may not be able to change your service address especially in Lagos, Abuja and Kano as most part of the aformentioned states have reached capacity. With the kind of speed OP is getting with Starlink, I am 100% sure he is not resident in Lagos, Abuja or Kano, because speed in the aforementioned states have tanked as Starlink has become too saturated in the those states. 33 Likes 7 Shares |

I have been having good experience with the Airtel unlimited plan, I get the maximum speed of 20mps and router stucked in 5G mode except occasionally when it drops and comes back within minutes. The speed issue you have is location, I bet if you change location, your speed should improve. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Pastorjohn2: Is it humanly possible to use 800+ GB in a month? What are you streaming or downloading? Anyway, to each their own. The lack of portability is a big no for me... If I want to run an internet/media/cafe company, that would be perfect for employees at location. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

bdon123: I can't buy it until am earning serious money in dollars... If you are earning in dollars or competing with digital companies overseas, it is a good investment because I am sure after you use it, you can still sell it as second hand for that exact 400k (due to how the naira is losing value). This is after 5 to 10 years use,.that's naira. 13 Likes 2 Shares |
