Launched in 2019, Starlink is a SpaceX satellite broadband network. About 46 countries have access to satellite internet through this service, which also has the global mobile phone service as an objective after 2023.
With Starlink, there are a few little aspects to take into account. Since the cable is a permanent part of the dish, you must replace the entire dish if it is broken. Speaking about the dish, it is an undesirable alternative in urban settings because it must be installed as high as possible and have a clear line of sight to the satellites.

Even though Starlink built their satellites to not pollute space once they have served their purpose, they could cause issues while they are still in service. Starlink intends to put 42,000 satellites into orbit, which is almost ten times the number of satellites that are now orbiting the Earth. This has raised worries about sky pollution.
Is Starlink available in Nigeria?
Yes, “Starlink is now available in Nigeria – the first African country to receive service!” a tweet posted on the official page of the satellite firm read.
How much is Starlink Nigeria?
Nigerians will pay $600 for the setup gear and a $43 monthly subscription, which many found objectionable.
