I don't now about you guys but it feels like the token consumption have gone crazy after the last update not sure if it is a bug or not .

It used to consume so much less on the pax historia pro model like 0.20 or 0.30 $ but now it's like 0.70 to even 0.90 in one prompt (and that even on new games on other presets) to simulate events so the daily credit can't do much anymore for free users ...

Retour d'expérience Starlink Mini / Residential Lite à Antananarivo : Attention à la saturation de la cellule (4 Mbps réels) || Starlink Mini / Residential Lite in Antananarivo: The Network Congestion Trap (Real speeds down to 4 Mbps)

Bonjour à tous,

Je partage mon expérience récente avec Starlink (Mini + forfait Residential Lite) à Antananarivo (zone Ambavahaditokana / Ambohikely) pour ceux qui travaillent à distance ou qui envisagent d'y souscrire.

Le contexte :

Comme beaucoup ici, je me suis tourné vers Starlink faute d'alternatives viables. Les forfaits internet des opérateurs locaux restent hors de prix pour un service souvent très lent, instable et limité. Starlink semblait être la seule porte de sortie raisonnable.

Le constat actuel :

  • Promesse commerciale : Jusqu'à 200 Mbps illimité.
  • Réalité sur le terrain : Débits qui chutent à 4 Mbps / 0,7 Mbps, accompagnés de micro-coupures et de pertes de paquets récurrentes (conférences vidéo et lives impossibles pour le travail).
  • Même en début de cycle : Avec seulement 18 Go consommés, la connexion reste bridée/saturée hors et pendant les heures de pointe.

La position officielle du support Starlink (après 2 semaines de ticket) : Après avoir éliminé tout problème matériel de mon côté, le support a fini par admettre par écrit :

  1. La zone d'Antananarivo subit une forte sur-souscription / congestion réseau.
  2. Sur le forfait Residential Lite, la dépriorisation est tellement sévère à Tana que les débits s'effondrent à quelques Mbps, même hors heures de pointe et même en début de cycle de facturation.
  3. Aucun délai de résolution n'est garanti (ils renvoient vers le déploiement futur de nouveaux satellites ou suggèrent de payer plus cher pour passer au forfait Residential standard).

En résumé :

On se retrouve coincés entre des FAI locaux aux tarifs exorbitants pour une qualité médiocre, et un Starlink Lite qui sature complètement à Tana faute de gestion de capacité.

Est-ce que d'autres utilisateurs de Starlink à Tana (ou ailleurs à Mada) subissent ce même bridage sur le plan Lite ? Pour ceux qui sont passés au plan Residential classique, est-ce que ça change vraiment la donne malgré la congestion de la zone ?

Merci pour vos retours !

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my recent experience with Starlink (Mini + Residential Lite plan) in Antananarivo (Ambavahaditokana / Ambohikely area) for anyone relying on it for remote work or considering signing up.

The Context:

Like many of us here, I switched to Starlink because local ISPs offer exorbitant prices for equally slow, unstable, and capped services. Starlink felt like the only reasonable alternative for a decent connection.

The Reality on the Ground:

  • Marketed Speeds: "Up to 200 Mbps" unlimited data.
  • Actual Performance: Speeds dropping to a painful 4 Mbps down / 0.7 Mbps up, accompanied by constant micro-disconnections and packet loss (making video calls, live streams, and remote work nearly impossible).
  • Even at Cycle Reset: With only 18 GB used on a fresh billing cycle, speeds remain choked both during peak and off-peak hours.

Official Support Response (After a 2-week open ticket): After ruling out any hardware or local Wi-Fi issues, Starlink Support officially confirmed in writing:

  1. The Antananarivo cell/area is suffering from heavy network congestion and over-subscription.
  2. On the Residential Lite plan, de-prioritization is so aggressive in Tana that speeds collapse to single digits, even off-peak and with minimal monthly data usage.
  3. No timeline for resolution is guaranteed (they simply point to future satellite launches or suggest upgrading to the more expensive standard Residential plan).

Bottom Line:

We seem stuck between overpriced local ISPs with mediocre service and a saturated Starlink Lite network due to a lack of capacity management in the region.

Are any other Starlink users in Tana (or elsewhere in Madagascar) experiencing this severe throttling on the Lite plan? For those who upgraded to the standard Residential plan, does priority access actually fix the issue despite the congested cell?

Thanks for your insights!
