NCC Tariff Hike Triggers Starlink Price Increase
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is expected to authorise an increase in telecom operators’ tariffs, prompting satellite internet provider Starlink to raise its subscription prices once again to N75,000. This follows a recent price hike by Starlink, where the basic subscription cost went up by 97.37% from N38,000 to N75,000, with the company blaming high inflation for the increase

The NCC had initially questioned Starlink’s price increase, stating it had not approved the move, which led the company to revert its pricing to the previous rate. This made Starlink go back to its old pricing. However, following months of lobbying by telecom operators citing financial losses and reduced investments in the sector, there are indications that the NCC will soon approve the first tariff increase in a decade for the telecommunications industry.

This expected price change is likely to help all telecom companies, including Starlink. Because of this, Starlink has informed its customers through an email that it will raise its prices again.

“These updates show our dedication to improving the systems that make your Starlink experience better,” the company explained.

With the new prices, Starlink’s basic plan will now cost N75,000, up from N38,000. The monthly fee for mobile regional roaming will rise to N170,000, and mobile worldwide roaming will cost N717,000.

The new prices start right away for new users. Current customers will see the changes from January 27, 2025.

In November, Starlink suspended new home internet orders in Nigeria. They said they needed to get approval from regulators and make some changes to how they operate. The company mentioned that they plan to start supplying equipment again across the country after they introduce new prices.

“We’re dedicated to bringing fast internet to Nigeria and are working with regulators to make changes that will make things better for our customers. Until these changes are approved, we are placing new residential orders on hold,” Starlink stated at the time.

The expected price increase by the NCC is part of larger efforts to fix problems in Nigeria’s telecom industry. Operators have long complained of rising operational costs and stagnant tariffs, which they say have negatively impacted their ability to invest in infrastructure and expand services. .
