Starlink Installation in Nigeria

Starlink · supply & installation

Internet from the sky. Everywhere the cables never reached.

Starlink’s satellites deliver fast, low-latency internet to any roof in Nigeria — the estate fibre skipped, the village no mast covers, the office tired of 8pm slowdowns. Race it against your current connection below, then let us supply, install and power it properly.

The speed race

Pick a task. Watch the networks race.

Typical real-world Nigerian speeds from public test data — not brochure numbers.

Step 1 · What are you doing online?
Step 2 · The race
Downloading a 2 GB movie

And for video calls, latency is the real referee:

~40 msStarlink · smooth calls
~15 msFibre · smooth calls
~50 ms4G/5G · usually fine
~60 msFixed wireless · fine
~650 msOld GEO satellite · talking over each other
Where these numbers come from: Starlink measured as Nigeria’s fastest broadband in real-user tests, with typical downloads of 50–200+ Mbps depending on location and time of day (we race it at 100 Mbps); Nigeria’s median mobile download is ~44 Mbps (Ookla, Q4 2025) and typical fixed connections range widely. Every network varies by hour and location — the race shows honest typical speeds, not best-case marketing. Old GEO satellites orbit 65× farther away than Starlink, which is why their delay is unfixable physics.

Beyond the speed test

Reliability is where Nigerian internet is really won.

Speed is what you buy; reliability is what you live with. Here’s the honest matchup.

Connection Typical speed Latency Coverage What takes it down Best for
Starlink 50–200+ Mbps ~25–60 ms Anywhere with open sky Heavy storms (brief dips), power at your building Anywhere fibre doesn’t reach; businesses that can’t afford downtime
Fibre (FTTH) 50–500 Mbps ~10–20 ms ~10–15% of premises, big-city estates Road works cutting cables, area outages lasting days Where it exists and is well run — genuinely excellent
4G/5G router 15–65 Mbps ~30–60 ms Wide but uneven Evening congestion, mast power failures, data caps Light use, backup lines, renters
Fixed wireless ISP 10–50 Mbps ~30–80 ms City clusters Line-of-sight, rain, oversubscribed base stations Offices near a good base station
Old GEO satellite 10–50 Mbps ~600+ ms Everywhere Rain fade, and physics — the delay never improves Last resort where nothing else works

Built for your roof

What it changes at yours.

The honest recommendation

If your fibre is excellent, keep it.

We sell Starlink, and we’ll still tell you the truth: well-run fibre in a covered estate is faster on latency and cheaper per month. Starlink wins everywhere fibre doesn’t exist and everywhere reliability is worth more than the subscription — which, in Nigeria, is most addresses and most businesses.

And because a dish without power is a roof ornament, we install the whole stack: dish professionally mounted and cabled, router placed properly, and — if you want the full off-grid build — solar and battery power sized to carry your Starlink through every NEPA outage. One desk, one installation, internet that ignores both the cable thieves and the grid.

What it costs — indicative, July 2026

Starlink kit (standard, one-time)₦450k – ₦670k
Residential subscription / month₦57k – ₦75k
Business priority plans / monthfrom ₦159k
Professional installationquoted by roof
Starlink sets hardware and subscription prices and adjusts them periodically — these are indicative market ranges, and the exact figure is confirmed in writing before you pay a naira. Installation is quoted after we see your roof, mounting and cabling needs.

Spread it through the building

One dish on the roof. Strong Wi-Fi in every corner.

The dish brings the internet in; this hardware carries it to every room, floor, table and gatehouse. Tap what fits — it joins your signup request.

Home

Wi-Fi relay / range extender

The budget fix for one stubborn room — a plug-in relay repeats the signal past that one thick wall between the router and the back bedroom.

Indicative ₦25,000 – ₦60,000

HomeBusiness

Mesh Wi-Fi system (2–3 units)

One network name across the whole building — your phone hops invisibly between units as you move, no dead zones, no “which Wi-Fi is this?” The proper whole-home answer.

Indicative ₦150,000 – ₦400,000

BusinessHotel & restaurant

Pro ceiling access points

Commercial-grade Wi-Fi 6 access points mounted where coverage is needed — lobbies, floors, halls — each comfortably serving dozens of guests and devices at once.

Indicative ₦100,000 – ₦200,000 per point

Hotel & restaurant

Guest Wi-Fi with branded login

A splash page with your logo, voucher codes or free timed access, and — crucially — guests fenced off from your POS and office network. Wi-Fi that markets you while it serves them.

Quoted per venue

HomeBusiness

Building-to-building wireless link

Beam the connection across the compound — gatehouse, BQ, second building or warehouse — with a point-to-point radio pair, no trench and no second subscription.

Indicative ₦90,000 – ₦250,000 per pair

BusinessHotel & restaurant

PoE switch & structured cabling

The backbone for serious setups: one PoE switch powers every access point and camera over the same cables that carry the data — tidy, expandable, professional.

Switch from ₦150,000 + cabling per point

On these prices: indicative Lagos market ranges (July 2026) for quality hardware — the exact model and count depends on your building’s size, walls and floors, which is why the written quote follows the site survey. Beware of Wi-Fi quoted without anyone seeing the walls; concrete eats signal for breakfast.

Straight answers

Asked before every dish goes up.

Does rain affect Starlink?
Briefly, in the heaviest storms — you may see speeds dip or a short interruption during a serious tropical downpour, and then it recovers on its own. Ordinary rain and harmattan haze are no problem. Compare that with what the same storm does to fixed wireless links or the mast your 4G router depends on, and Starlink usually rides out Lagos weather better than the alternatives.
What happens when NEPA takes the light?
The dish and router draw roughly 50–100W and need power like any appliance — no power, no internet. That’s why our signup form asks about backup power: a modest inverter carries Starlink easily, and a small solar and battery setup keeps it running indefinitely. Internet that survives both the cable cuts and the grid is the whole point of the full stack.
Will I really get 200 Mbps?
Sometimes — and sometimes 60. Starlink speeds vary with how many users share your satellite cell and the time of day; real-user tests still rank it Nigeria’s fastest broadband, but anyone promising you a fixed number from a shared network is selling, not advising. Our rule: we quote the honest typical range for your area, and the speed test after installation is the receipt.
Is Starlink available at my location right now?
Coverage is nationwide, but Starlink caps how many users each area’s capacity can serve, and some high-demand city zones have had waitlists. It’s checked against your exact address — which is the first thing we do with your signup request, before any money moves.
Can I move the dish — to the village, a site, a boat?
Yes, with the right plan: residential service is tied to your address, while Roam plans let the dish travel. If you split time between the city and hometown, or run project sites, tell us the pattern and we’ll recommend the plan that matches it rather than the most expensive one.
What exactly does Wigmore provide?
The kit supplied, professional mounting (roof or pole, properly weatherproofed), cable routing and router placement, activation support, and optional backup power — plus a human on WhatsApp afterwards. You’ll pay Starlink’s subscription directly to Starlink; we make sure everything it depends on is done right.
