Man switches to Elon Musk Starlink
@OloyeSomorin explained that he had always thought he was being cheated by networks or service providers in Nigeria because his data seemed to disappear so quickly.
He wrote:
"Before I moved to Starlink, primarily I used to think the traditional telcos are cheating me on data."
He went on to add that now that he is using Elon Musk’s Starlink, he is no longer sure if the telecommunication networks had cheated him.
He wrote:
"But now that I’m on Starlink and I see my voracious consumption, I’m not sure anymore."
He came to this conclusion after discovering the huge volume of data he used just in January.
His statement:
"I used 1.03TB in January alone."

He also shared a screenshot to back up his claim, showing the exact details of the data he used in January

"I think the HD IP Cams are the packet eaters. Sir, a lot of folks don't know what static IP or DHCP means. I would even assume you aren't broadcasting your SSIDs. So, it's just the average person's default thought and I can't blame people if their ISPs haven't been transparent."
@DefiWills stressed:
"For we that know more about tech. I can say there are some settings that needs to be done on your device so as to keep it from data background consumption. Since you on Unlimited then no need."
