Starlink pauses new orders in parts of Lagos and Abuja over network congestion
- Starlink has paused new orders in Lagos and Abuja due to network congestion.
- Areas like Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and Surulere are marked as 'Sold Out' on Starlink's website.
- New subscriptions are available only through a waitlist requiring a deposit.
Starlink's operational challenges in Nigeria highlight the difficulties of scaling internet services in developing markets, particularly when faced with regulatory hurdles and economic instability. The company's pricing strategy and capacity management will need to be reassessed to regain customer trust and stabilize its subscriber base.
