Starlink, the satellite internet provider, announced that it will implement a subscription fee increase effective January 27, 2025.
New customers will be charged the updated rates, while existing subscribers will see the changes reflected in their next billing cycle.
With the updated pricing, the lowest subscription tier is expected to rise from ₦38,000 to ₦75,000, while the mobile global roaming service will cost ₦717,000 per month.
Starlink stated that the fee increase is aimed at expanding its operations and improving its infrastructure.
The company’s previous request for a price increase was rejected by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). However, NCC is now expected to respond positively to this adjustment.
Starlink’s email to its users indicates that the company is positioning itself to align with these anticipated regulatory changes.
This new pricing strategy could lead to a shift in the internet market across Nigeria, potentially impacting both consumers and service providers.
