See how much you will pay to use Elon Musk’s Starlink in Ghana

Starlink has introduced its highly anticipated internet services to Ghana, offering high-speed, low-latency connections that could revolutionise how Ghanaians connect, learn, and work on the internet.

Starlink’s technology relies on a constellation of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which enable faster internet speeds compared to traditional satellites, positioning Starlink as a strong competitor in the global internet market.

As of April 2024, the network consists of approximately 5,800 LEO satellites, designed to efficiently relay signals and provide download speeds that can surpass 100 Mbps in certain areas.
