Starlink, the internet company, has halted new orders for its residential kits in Nigeria until the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) lifts suspension on its recent price increment.
Regardless, Starlink still allows orders for its high-end Business Plan at the cost of N159,000 for a monthly subscription compared with the Residential Plan at N38,000 per month.
It recently announced a 97% price increase for its monthly subscription from N38,000 to N75,000.
For new users, the company also increased the Starlink kits (hardware) by 34% from N440,000 to N590,000.
The internet firm had previously suspended new orders in five major cities including Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt, Benin City, and Warri.
“We’re committed to providing high-speed internet in Nigeria and are working closely with regulators to make adjustments that will improve the customer experience.
“Until these changes are approved, we are placing new Residential orders on hold,” the company stated in response to an attempt to order its kits.”
