The project of Space X’s Starlink in Nigeria has commenced, as Nigerians who pre-ordered the company’s hardware have been receiving their orders and enjoying high-speed internet via satellite.
Nonetheless, Nairametrics can confirm that the service is available to only those who have dollar cards to make payments for the hardware online.
Nigerians who want Sterling X’s service will not be able to purchase its hardware. The company will only admit subscribers when the company establishes its physical presence in the country and starts accepting naira for payments.
Nigerians can purchase Starlink through the use of virtual dollar cards, the suspension of the service by providers such as Flutterwave and Eversend, has made it difficult.
