Starlink Doubles Subscription for Nigerian Customers – Ravenewsonline

Starlink has added major price hikes for its Nigerian customers, with roaming now 234 percent more expensive, despite the cost-of-living crisis gripping the country.

Nearly two years after launching in Nigeria, Starlink, said that it is hiking the price so significantly because of rampant inflation gripping the nation.

“Due to excessive levels of inflation, the Starlink monthly service price will increase,” reads an announcement seen by TechCabal.

Customers will begin paying the new rates for the standard residential and Starlink roaming plans from 31st October.

The standard residential subscription will receive a 100 percent price increase, from $24 to $48 with the 1TB soft-cap still included.

Meanwhile, customers that use Starlink to roam – allowing them to use the kit outside their homes and workplaces in Nigeria – will see a nearly 234 percent price increase, from $30 to $100 per month.

This is over R1 700 in South Africa.

The $100 per month cost for the roaming price in Nigeria now mirrors the pricing of Starlink roaming in Botswana, a close neighbour of South Africa.
