Here we go.

What's your location? I want to believe you are either in Lagos or a place near it.
Lagos seems to have many starlink s making it difficult for s there to get the best of starlink. It's like in USA where the best starlink speed people get is 100mbps.

But here am I in Niger state, extreme end of Nigeria, getting 320mbps. Otis54

Your and card will pay the sub for all the starlinks connected to your like that of this my guy paying twice every month.
He tells guy using the other starlink to pay monthly into his and his card pays to starlink

This is not a good idea, unless they're all family or the Starlinks are being used for business purposes, so if issues arise, they can be resolved amicably.
Otherwise, the best thing to do is to cancel the service on your , and then the actual kit s attempt to order Starlink on the site. At the point of ordering they will be asked to indicate if they have a kit already or want to order for one. They should tick to indicate that they have one already. Then fill in the existing kit info.

The speed you’re getting is really impressive. Guess those of us in Lagos will have to make do with what we are getting right now. I’m not even complaining because the speed is a lot better than the swift 4G network(28,670 for 10Mbps) I was using before moving to Mtn 5G(30,000 for 300GB). I would have stuck with Mtn 5G if they had unlimited data at the same price range as Starlink but, alas, they don’t.

Spot on

You have a good point.
Just about the same reason I am keeping them.

For some reasons unknown, a starlink I installed at Ikoyi is refusing subscription. We have tried every card possible. The worst is Starlink have stopped Nigerians and Brazilians from having more than one service on one .

Anyone know how to sort out this subscription issue?

The speed is great, but who needs all that in day to day usage. I only enjoyed the speed when ing one game for my ps5 at 300 Mbps and it finished in no time. But I don't do much s. Mostly streaming and they use at just 10mbps.

The mtn 5g deal is nice though. With starlink highest I've used in a month is 500gb coz many used it then. What drinks most of my data is IPTV streaming since I stream all my TV, football and movie needs in HD. If the mtn 5g speed is good, then 30k for 300gb is nice deal.
Only problem was that I was in Abuja and mtn 5g speed was like 14mbps or even as low as 1mbps. What kind of 5g is that? How was the speed in Lagos?

You mean more than one starlink dish in one ?

Mtn 5G speed in my location (surulere) is really good, even better than my Starlink both in s and s. Here is a screenshot of the speed test I just did
But it’s not unlimited. That’s the only downside of Mtn 5G

For 5G, this is poor. 4G in my location performs better than this.

Where is your location?
Well it’s location dependent. That’s why I stated it that in my location (Surulere) that’s what I’m getting.
I just did something now. I moved the 5g router to my window and this is what I got
But I’m still going to stick with Starlink once this my Mtn subscription is exhausted. Unlimited internet at 38k with the speed I’m getting is a real value for my money with this our current economic situation

This speed is more like it.

I see.
But that's still a reduction in the mtn 5g speed compared to when it came out first and it was getting to over 1Gbps.
From your result, my starlink is even faster in , though slower in .

Shows that mtn quality is going down. This 5g speed you tested now is what a good 4glte should be achieving.

This is unrelated and I apologize, but I really would appreciate some recommendations.

Which bank's Naira debit card can I link to Google Playstore to pay for my YouTube Family subscription? ProvidusBank is killing me with their charge. The subscription fee is ₦1,700 but ProvidusBank charged me ₦2,669.73 & I'm sure it'll be higher next month as this has been the trend.

I’m sure it will still get even slower with time. Once phone manufacturers like tecno and Infinix starts adding 5G to their newly released mid and lower range phones, then just know it’s not going to be as fast as this anymore because by then almost everybody who owns a smartphone in Nigeria will be on 5G just like 3G and 4G

Did YouTube billed you in Dollar or Naira?

My Google was created in Nigeria and my subscription quoted in Naira (₦1700) and so I really don't know why ProvidusBank charges me outrageous amounts.

Change the bank card.

Yes

Difference between these two?

Stanbic IBTC

Unfortunately I don't have Stanbic IBTC card

I have finally paid with my access Bank Visa card but only 32k was debited from the card. How exactly do I pay for the remaining?

It means your area is at capacity.. When you filled in your service address on starlink's website, you should have seen the 'full capacity' message
The rest will be debited when more satellites are deployed to your area and your kits delivered

That's technically correct but not totally. I have fixed the issue by searching for wider location than my address...eg kubwa or Ikeja(instead of 2 Charles ade Street Ikeja or kubwa) so that it could acknowledge network availability then before completing the order I update the address with my exact address and it worked.

We have electricity at least 20hrs a day. Any suggestion on affordable power backup (maybe Small inverter)... I can use for the starlink?

I can confirm that Access Bank Card works. Just paid with their card now as well.

I just learnt that I would be needing router and it wasn't part of the accessories coming with my order

Please from where did you learn such?
The kit that is going to be delivered to you will include a satellite dish, a router, a cable and mount for the dish.

I just replaced the Starlink Router with Linksys WRT3200ACM Router using the Starlink Ethernet Adapter, and I can see immediate improvement. Speed went from the usual <20Mbps to ~160Mbps.
Next step is to delete the Starlink Router completely:
