@gvofeyii explained that he had put a password on his Starlink; however, he didn’t know how it became accessible to his neighbours.

A girl who happens to be his neighbour confidently walked up to his door, knocked, and asked him for the password of his Starlink, despite the fact that it is his apartment and his Starlink, which he pays for.

Speaking about the amount he pays monthly to enjoy the service, he added:

"Man, I pay 92k+ every month for subscribing.
"Of course it’s an issue if someone is tapping into it without my permission.
"If it was consensual or agreed upon, totally a different case.

"They have the notion of “shebi it is unlimited and he can’t finish it”, the boldness to come knocking is crazy and the fact that they probably figured the previous password from maybe things you say or things they feel you will use is even crazier."
