Starlink will be available in Uganda starting 2024. Costs are expected to be at around UGX 360,000 ($100) or $50 per month. But the dish cost will be at about $500 just like it is in Nigeria.

Hello,
Thanks for the article. Any idea when and if Starlink will be rolled out in UG and the costs?
Thanks

Definitely recommend MTN. Best in the business. Not a day has the network dropped

Hello Mugeni.

The Good news is that you’ll soon ditch Ugandan telcos, Space X will roll out Satellite Starlink Internet early 2022. But for now, we can recommend MTN Fiber since it’s the new Hot deal in town, With Mutungo as your area, MTN Fiber could be having coverage there. Also, Zuku Fiber which is also unlimited could be covering Luzira areas, so, check on them, these could be great options.

Thank you for this great article! It has provided a lot of the insight I was looking for.

I am looking for a reliable ISP in Uganda, one that offers; high speeds, stable network and low latency as I make several VoiP plus video calls daily and great customer service. Could you please make some recommendations? Ideally it would be an ‘unlimited’ package as I use 7-10 GB per day (210-300 GB pm).

Unfortunately, I don’t live in a high end area of Kampala with fiber optic access so options like Simba and Liquid won’t work for me (live in Mutungo Biina).

Africell just closed shop. Smile Uganda disappointed me a few years back when the internet would go off for weeks on end and customer service would go mute too. Have they improved now?

My budget is 300-400k pm BTW. Would really appreciate some pointers.

Many thanks,

Mugeni
