Starlink temporarily paused the hike as a result of the backlash.

The company launched operations in Nigeria in December 2022, making it the first African country to access Starlink’s satellite broadband. The service has been lauded for bridging connectivity gaps to rural and underserved areas.
The NCC recently hinted at approving its first tariff increase for telecom operators in a decade, following months of lobbying by industry players citing inflation and operational losses. This development could further impact the affordability of internet services in Nigeria, where cost remains a barrier for many.
