Starlink Review in Nigeria - Before you buy! 

Thanks for your contribution. It's the 3rd week and my friend has not heard from Starlink. I have a couple others that are yet to get feedback from them regarding recent orders. So if they can work on responding to customer issues swiftly then we can confirm their good customer service.

@@izziboye That's sad. Although, I expected the slow feedback and all that but in the span of a month, I have raised 4 support tickets over a variety of issues and gotten feedback. The trick is to try and reply on those tickets everyday and give as much details as you possible can. Case in point, my first issue was a damaged cable. I logged the case on the 10th and got a feedback on the 16th. Maybe they should try this trick and see if it works for them

@@HenryEgonu Imagine asking your customers after paying such huge amounts of money to reply to tickets everyday so they can get a reply in 7-10 days. Its the way you sound so out of touch and don't even realize it for me. I saw your comments on twitter, and your reply to my own comment here. Because I didn't personally buy it doesn't mean 3 other people living in the same building as me did not. Testing other peoples devices does not make me less of a tech reviewer and it's quite obtuse of you to suggest that I need to first waste my own money before gathering objective opinions about something as simple as bad customer support for an expensive product. That said I really hope you are getting paid enough to copy paste these lies all over the internet. Nigerians are wiser now, we are not test subject for poor planning and terrible products. If it's bad, we will say it and there is absolutely nothing you will do about it. Have a nice day.

@@KaganTech well written bro. Yeah, you made some points here that seem valid. Unfortunately, you just had to bring in your own obtuse mentality that I am being paid for it. That's fine, that's your opinion though. To respond to your points sir, you said you are a tech reviewer and can't waste your money to purchase just to review. I guess that makes the likes of Izzi, Folasodu, quite silly to be wasting that money to purchase and review. Or you think they were sent review unit from the OEM to review? Whichever you think, this mindset here makes me wonder why I should bother to watch your review when you can't even take time to invest to review it over a period of time to actually put out a real non-biased view from a 1st hand experience. Case in point, Folasodu has gotten his for almost a month now and still putting his review together but you are quick to rush out a "review" based off of your "3 friends" who use it in the same building with you. That brings me to my next point, you also displayed quite a dull approach to your review. I mean, what will it take to make a research to see that this company from day one has no customer support number or email and relies only on support tickets. This has been their MO from day one and not just for Nigeria. But no, you were quick to say yada yada about customer service and all. I made mention of the fact they use a poor kind of support service but when they do reply, they achieve way more than any in Nigeria currently that have a customer care number and email. This is getting too long, but in summary sir, to be tech reviewer you need to have a balanced approach to things. Don't go off spouting stuff and sounding so emotional where you need to be neutral and present facts. Heck you even said one of your so called friend disassembled the device and fixed it himself. I think he's even a better tech reviewer than you are if indeed that happened. @izzi Boye, my apologies for the rant.

@@izziboyehi there we can confirm that Starlinks has readily dodgy customer service all over the world. Yes they replace items for free but the timing to get those items will leave you frustrated. We hear it’s worse in the Phillipines and Nigeria according to a review on Slaylebrity

Haha it's simple, you just tell them to go and buy it. One came to my comments on the video I posted on IG last week to say I've been paid by MTN

Chelsea come on now💀

​@@izziboye 😂😂 people sef 😒

@@zealcodes who are you talking to?

@kagan Some of the points you raised were wrong, and they were not made based off of a 1st hand experience as a reviewer. Which even makes it worse.

Still slow, probably even worse now

Thanks chief

Yes you can use dollars but Starlink recently made it possible to pay in naira, I paid my last subscription with a naira card and the rate was not even close to current black market rate but in the past I made monthly payments with my access bank dollar card.

Have you try any Fibre network? I heard their latency is very low with unlimited data cap for less than 12k. I contacted them but unfortunately, their service is not yet in my area.. You might get lucky.

It’s way better than MYN by a lot.

spark 9pro would be better sha.. depends on the chipset bro

@@hero-techreviews thank you

It's true unlimited. It won't stop working

Especially in bad weather.

It’s not hard to acquire and the difficultly in setting up was only due to the lack of knowledge/familiarity with the set up process.

Yea, I wasn't sure of that one that's why I said I'll confirm when I've used 1TB. Others have also mentioned exceeding 1TB with no throttle in speed, so that's great.

It’s very smooth, I’ve been using the network for the past 1month no issue.

It's very smooth for Streaming, 4k and more

I want to order mine in the UK, can I bring to Nigeria and use it here?

@@princess2121 No - dont do that. The antenna are region locked. You need an African continent antenna for the service to work in Nigeria

​@@shinene2433 starlink you mean?

Or you've watched MKBHD so much you decided to look for him in this content. How about watching without thinking about MKBHD? ✌🏽✌🏽

oh, ALAS he knows MKBHD @@izziboye . nice content BTW. cheer have a good day. you will do great things...

The streaming is 100%, the network is really unmatched unless you want to upload huge files.

No. It seems it is region-locked

Julia is there

You can get it from me for affordable price

Hello, I have 4 brand new Starlink devices for sale, I live in Ibadan incase you are interested.

Good day. Were you able to find a solution for this here in port harcourt?

Yes I got the starlink and it saved the day

Me too

Data allocated is where the issue is

@@Ekpes_boi really how do you mean?

@@hero-techreviews the data starlink gives for a month is what MTN will give for a year @85k to 90k

@@Ekpes_boi Sterlink only gave 1tb per a month, but you will have to pay for another sub whether you used it up or not. My thought.

Starlink only works where you've set it up. Unless you and your friend stay in the same house, you can't both use the same starlink setup

@@izziboye thanks

All pun intended

It's easy to use and install. Just download the app and follow the guide

You'll enjoy it actually. As long as you understand its limitations

Same thing here. But there is a degradation of service during rain but it hasn't been totally unusable for me during rains as many claim.

​@@HenryEgonu good evening Henry, what is the lowest speed you've experienced during raining?

@@emmanueligbadia4534 4 to 15mbps. It loses service if it the rain gets really heavy.

Thank you so much for the feedback sir. Please how long did it take before your starlink got delivered to you...

From?

Starlink

@@TheDonkuliano you use one?

Will confirm when I reach 1TB used.

@@izziboye ok. I am somehow glad starlink is getting poor reception in Nigeria which obviously isn't far fetched because of its limitations. I am happy because it means Nigeria will never experience starlink network congestion due to the low number of starlink subscribers. I just ordered mine yesterday. Can't wait to start enjoying stable internet outside rainy days. Mtn and Airtel network are also bad during the rain and there is no fibre internet option where I reside. Starlink remains the best option for me since I already own an inverter solar system

The congestion is already starting. I tried to change my location recently and got a warning that my current service area is reaching its limit and I may not be able to bring it back if I make the change. It could be a marketing gimmick to force one into adding the portability package to their account.

Definitely no congestion. Probably a gimmick

@@attah9633 I agree it's a marketing gimmick. USA had over 100,000 subscribers before they started having network congestion. I don't think Nigeria has up to 50,000 starlink subscribers currently. Unless they meant congestion in a particular area like Lagos Island. I stay at Anambra and I doubt there will be starlink internet congestion over here anytime soon

Bro, thinking of placing an order but am seeing $9 on the website. Where are the hidden costs and how much is the total order in usd?

I subscribe using the same card I used to purchase it. A GTB dollar debit card

Can one make payment with Naira card?

You should. I tested it with MK11, Fortnite and PUBG.

@@HenryEgonu thank you sir but the panel is working normal on raining or it should be taking in and out as she said ? Please answer us
