yeah thats my exact same problem in Morocco. It doesn't matter to me whether it's Starlink or a local ISP providing the service; all I care about is having reliable, high-quality internet. Unfortunately, ISPs here offer shockingly low speeds, like 1.7 Mbps for downloads and 0.3 Mbps for uploads. It's outrageous, but not surprising when you consider that these ISPs are largely controlled by the royal family. For instance, Morocco's three major ISPs-Maroc Telecom, Inwi, and Orange-are all tied to the monarchy. Maroc Telecom is state-owned, Inwi is controlled by the royal family's investment fund, and while Orange is 49% owned by a French company, the remaining shares are held by Moroccan investment funds, which are also heavily influenced (and owned by) by the royal family. It's incredibly frustrating to be paying 30-50 euros a month for such poor service.

Damn! Thats sad

There is a limit of 5 changes of zones on every antenna, period

I have same question Can he answer for us?😢

While you are in the roaming unauthorized country, you wont have connectivity until you go back in your approved country

voted this question also, I'm looking use startling in waiting list country in remote construction project area

Me too

As far as I know, Global still worked, and almost nobody had their Regional plan shut off from the previous warning. New video on the latest email: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMCAgduHtNXThmw.html

@@StarlinkHardware Thank you

سلام عليكم في المغرب مخدمش اقفوه انا عندي لكن مخدمش حتى كن المغرب الترخيص

Is it still working

I wouldn’t be remotely qualified to give you the reasons why they haven’t approved Starlink. Per the Starlink email, if curious, you should contact your local government for those answers.

The situation stems from the fact that powerful elites control the local ISPs, and Starlink presents a significant competitive threat. With Starlink, users can achieve download speeds of 100-200 Mbps, whereas local ISPs may only offer around 1 Mbps. Naturally, most people would prefer Starlink for its superior service. However, these state-controlled entities are generating substantial profits, potentially in the hundreds of millions (even billions), which could be at risk if Starlink enters the market. As a result, these groups may be obstructing Starlink’s entry to protect their financial interests. It's primarily a matter of protecting their revenue, even if it means limiting consumer choice.

It did

You could not renew it time ?

@@yvanbeguide9957 The account is in Kenya, on automatic renewal, but I am using it in Tanzania on roaming and Tanzania has not authorised Starlink. So I'm in the same category as the South Africans and Zimbabweans.

@@yvanbeguide9957 they didn't suspend the service end of April as they warned, so we thought we were in the clear, but once the current month's subs ran out, they did. So those still happily using it in unauthorised countries, be warned, it is only a matter of time.

Starting April 30th, no Starlink dish or service plan will work in unavailable countries.

@@StarlinkHardware I think there is a difference in what Starlink say and what Starlink do. I think you need to qualify that statement.

It would be difficult, and without it, Starlink will still know your location because it can use its own satellites to calculate the location.

Ocean access is restricted to the Mobile Priority service plan only, so yes, country refers to land areas only for Roam, as Roam will not work on the ocean.

Not as of today. Pending means it hasn’t been approved yet, so no internet access under the new policy, even on Global.

Good information. There is a lot of conflicting info out there, even from Starlink sources. I guess we will have to wait until April 30th to really find out how far these new restrictions go.

But they removed global regional on some accounts

They removed global roam plan on all accounts in africa to prevent them from activating it note.only accounts created in countries In africa has been affected

I’m using mobile regional they didn’t send me the message, I’ve two kits

@@muctarr1847 they didn't suspend our service end of April as they warned, so we thought we were in the clear, but once the current month's subs came to an end two days ago, they did cut it. So those still happily using it in unauthorised countries, be warned, it is only a matter of time.

Starlink will have to work with individual countries to get official approval to operate. Otherwise, service will simply not work in unauthorized locations after April 30th. I'm afraid there isn't a good solution right now for the short term. It's possible Global Roam might still work, but we will have to wait and see after the 30th.

@@StarlinkHardware I hope so, I bought it from UK and I used it for three months as mobile global. Then, I transferred to regional one. My country is on waiting list. I hope the global plan is still working there.

According to the email, no service will be available in neighboring countries that aren’t Starlink approved.

@@StarlinkHardware how can we reach them?

@@calculative1387 Through the Starlink app by creating a support ticket.

The problem I’m having

It can still be used in supported areas of Africa, just not in countries that still haven't approved Starlink to operate.

Yah, right, more likely Z govt wants a bribe to use SL.

Africa is not a country

@@MarcosWassem my friend there is a lot of African countries that not officially authorize Starlink now they won’t be able to use Starlink service. That what I mean I use Starlink with roaming service for almost 2years and now booom your service is restricted

​@mohammedly6850 that is a bad news to us, please let the starlink team wait on till a country discuss this to them, because we use to travel to desert spent 4 to 5 months before we got back, please chat them up they need to increase the roaming months we are Nigerians and we travel alot expecially our neighbouring countries...

So i can switch my plan from global to the normal plans no problem??

People are getting shut off in Belize this week.

No that wouldn't be possible without some advanced knowledge of the design. And even without GPS, the dish can locate itself using just Starlink satellites.
