Innovative Starlink satellite dish and router setup for reliable internet access in Africa.

Starlink has resumed direct shipments of its internet kits to Nigerian cities after a seven-month pause due to regulatory hurdles. Alongside the relaunch, the company opened a new walk-in support office in Lagos, marking a renewed commitment to its biggest African market. High-demand cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt will now pay a $455 setup fee (which includes a $52 congestion surcharge), while other areas are exempt. The Starlink mini is also available for $210. With over 64,000 users, Starlink is Nigeria’s second-largest ISP and a crucial solution for underserved regions lacking reliable broadband. As local operations expand and regulatory issues ease, Starlink is positioning Nigeria as a springboard for broader African growth.
