Nice video. But I think most viewers here are not asking the very pertinent questions. You see sir, when making videos like this on testing devices, you should state the pros and cons of the device [e.g. in terms of cost, maintenance, speed comparisons with other network providers (not just stating the download/upload speeds), etc], so viewers can have an unbiased assessment of this device. Now I saw you connect the router to a power source. Does this mean that the connection goes off when power supply is absent? How feasible is this in a country like Nigeria with epileptic power supply? If this is so, then starlink may be ultimately a more expensive option because you will need 24hrs power supply for its operation, and the cost of maintaining such power supply in the country is humungous. Secondly, you never stated any cost comparisons and download speed comparisons not just with other major network providers in Nigeria but also compared to other starlink user countries. For instance, in countries like Australia the download speed for starlink is about 240mbps, in Switzerland it is about 378mbps, which makes that of Nigeria (you said you got 24-38mbps) extremely low or dwarfed. These are some of the stuffs I expected you to address in this video to make it a very comprehensive review, and give viewers an informed choice on which to go for. Thanks for the video anyways. It was somewhat helpful, especially seeing this to be one of the very first reviews of starlink in Nigeria. Cheers.
In the Philippines, it costs 2,700 PESOS monthly compared to PLDT FIbr with 200mbps at 1,299. If STARLINK will never get their price lowered, their business will fall. Only the few or rich that lives in remote areas/islands will get STARLINK. Starlink should consider lowering to 50% to underdeveloped or 3rd world countries.
Hello Thanks for the video. Please is the antenna completely outdoor? meaning can operate under the rain and sun? and is the subscription truly unlimited? the reason for my question is that there are other providers here in Nigeria that will tell you it is unlimited but when you exhaust a certain priority data the connection will become slower and slower. Can you shed more light on this? Thanks ones again.
Yes, it is completely outdoors. With Starlink, there are no hard data caps and traffic will not be prioritized based on content. Starlink has a Fair Use Policy to ensure that the service quality of the typical user is not negatively impacted by users who consume high amounts of data.
He did mention the Starlink dish needs to be mounted in an optimal position clear of obstruction to get the best speeds. His test was purely for demo purposes
@@sciencekingdom2322 actually a rural area is big an advantage with Starlink as you’d have no surrounding interference. What your forgetting is there could be other signals from all other properties/buildings around him creating interface. Resulting in his poor connection (stuff you can’t see with human eye like TV aerials, TV dishes, 4G/5G antennas, WIFI router signals and of course electrical frequency interference (the list can do on). So living multi-building area could be disadvantage to Starlink if that makes sense
Morning, I would like to order a starlink equipment but I would like to know beside the coverage if there is any regulations concerning the local authority in your country that permit the utilisation of the equipment.
What is the use of this device if it requires a monthly subscription? According to your comments, the subscription is more expensive than the networks in the country
Thanks for this video. one question - how's the range of router network? For now I use Spectranet which is installed in my parlour but the router network doesn't even reach my bedroom.
Thanks for the video. So I ordered mine in Abuja on Feb 4th, and the estimated shipping date is 2/13/23 - 2/19/23, which is a much longer time frame than yours, but it's still ok, however, I have one problem that I'm facing, and not sure if it's unique to my account or same for everyone in Nigeria. I wanted to order the ethernet adapter, but when I go to the "SHOP" page it shows "No products found, please check back later for an updated list." Did you have a similar experience when you tried to open the shop page?
@@OlashileAkinniyi Yes I can see the shop items today Haha ):. Thanks for the reply. Planning on getting the pole mount, ethernet adapter, and the 150ft replacement cable.
Hi, thanks for the informative video. I want to know the payment process. How did you order and detailed guidelines. Pls I want to show my pastor this.
That process of attaching it to an account is if you buy it here in Nigeria. I ordered mine directly from starlink website and an account must be created in that process. Also note that when you buy locally, you will be on a roaming plan in which the monthly charge is higher than the residential.
Yes, a monthly subscription of $43. With Starlink, there are no hard data caps and traffic will not be prioritized based on content. Starlink has a Fair Use Policy to ensure that the service quality of the typical user is not negatively impacted by users who consume high amounts of data.
Does the router come with a LAN Port? Just wondering how to connect the router to a switch box to extend the connection. I hate using repeaters/extenders via wifi
It has a separate LAN port adapter. You have to order for it. Best thing to do is check your needs and the location you want it installed..then you order everything once.
It all depends. This information is from the company - We are currently experiencing a surge in demand for Starlink, which is resulting in deliveries taking 2-4 weeks. We will continue working to get your order shipped out as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and for your support!
My MTN 5G is Faster😂😂😂... I hit a comfortable 800mbps during the day and upto 1gbps at night.. this is waste of money if you're getting bellow 500mbps.
@Olashile Akinniyi that's where the Starlink has an edge.. I pay 30k for monthly unlimited bundle... it has a 400gb FUP but still fast at 100mbps after 400gb FUP.. I downloaded my Fifa 23 with size of 35gb in less than 40mins.. MTN 5G is freaking fast..
Great review and unboxing...but I read somewhere today there was a downward price review of the starlink and its monthly subscription....I don't know if you can validate that?
@@OlashileAkinniyi thank you. How do I track it? I have used my order number but it seems not to display any meaningful information. I'm getting worried though
Fair usage policy of 1TB but even after that the speed is still fast. From 11PM to 7AM whatever you download doesn’t count towards fair usage policy basically unlimited from 11PM to 7AM
0 seconds ago Hi there! Thank you for this. I’m wondering if you’ve been able to pay for your monthly subscription since you purchased it. I have tried all types of cards( USD & GBP) but I still I can’t pay. Please can I know how you’ve been able to subscribe? Thank you.
Please for the residential router, how many devices can connect to it? I want to get one for my office...I tired ordering for the "business" router bit it keeps saying it's not available in my area.

Hello, I live in the village and I use solar power, my Starlink modem gets very hot, what kind of inverter do you think I should use for Starlink?
Actually the Router naturally gets a bit hot, just ensure you have something to make it cool
Good stuff
Wow 🎉
Morning,
I would like to order a starlink equipment but I would like to know beside the coverage if there is any regulations concerning the local authority in your country that permit the utilisation of the equipment.
They have License to operate in Nigeria
Good quality
Thanks for this great Video
nice one, so assuming iam installing starlink to be used for hotel with many rooms. how will i extend the service to all those rooms.?
Good even 40mbps it's a great speed
Nice
how did you pay for suscription in lagos, im not seeing the option in their service page
If you are a new subscriber, it is suspended for now. You won't be able to activate Starlink with Lagos and Abuja.
Did it come with a free subscription??
My own is not working since I buy it how can I get to there customers care
Call me, let me check with you +2348038130373
How can you compare it with what we already have on ground in terms of cost?
It is more cheaper in term of monthly subscription and service
What is the use of this device if it requires a monthly subscription? According to your comments, the subscription is more expensive than the networks in the country
Says who
If the dish is easy to place like that them nor go thief am...?
And also does the router have battery?
Speed is not as good as we expected. And speed should be equal everywhere on earth as it's satellite internet.
That is what most people thinks anyway, but do you try to check the reason it's like that here in Nigeria?
Please is there Starlink store in Nigeria because I want to buy but I don’t know where to buy it?
No, you can reach them via www.starlink.com
Thanks for this video. one question - how's the range of router network? For now I use Spectranet which is installed in my parlour but the router network doesn't even reach my bedroom.
75-200 feet. depending on the demarcations in your house
I believe he is asking about the WiFi Range
It penetrates wall better than other routers.
Simply get a D-Link Repeater that has a wider ranger and concrete mesh penetration.
Get mesh router
how much is the monthly cost?
$43
How do subscribers knows about good location
Just ensure there is no obstruction. It can pick good signal from anywhere in Nigeria

Nice video
But please how much did you pay in naira for it and what bank did you use for the payment?
I actually used my Dom account. But you can use Payday.
Not bad at all you are getting 50 down and up
The place you placed the dish is the problem with the speed because there's going to be a lot of obstruction there.
It's a temporary position. I believe I would get a better bandwidth if I eventually positioned properly. Thank you
Yeah, I think so too.
Your password can be seen, it is recommended that you change it
I concerned about mounting it. You know this is Nigeria, so it doesn’t get stolen. Can I place it in my balcony or must it be over the roof
I dont think it will be useful if stolen
@@OlashileAkinniyi maybe, but still one has to be careful. Can it work if placed in the balcony? Where did you place yours permanently
I share the same thoughts. A balcony might face a lot of obstructions from nearby buildings or trees so open space remains the best bet.
Find the best Starlink agency in Nigeria ?
I want to know how strong the stand is in case of strong winds
Can I use it on another location? Eg (creek) there's no address in the creeks
