Alghanim Industries has announced that they’re now the official distributor of Starlink’s satellite internet in Kuwait and across the Middle East, North Africa, India, Turkey, Pakistan, and more. For those not in the loop, Starlink offers high-speed, low-latency internet that works through satellites, making it perfect for places where regular internet can be spotty or completely unavailable.
This is pretty big news. Although our internet is pretty fast here, our latency is terrible. Latency is the time it takes for data to travel from your device to a server and back. Basically, it’s the delay you feel when you’re trying to load a webpage, play a game online, or join a video call. Lower latency means less delay and faster responses.
According to the Sama X website, there will be four packages to choose from:
Sama X Personal 500GB
Sama X Personal 1TB
Sama X Personal 2TB
Sama X Personal 5TB
All four packages promise speeds up to 350/40 Mbps (download/upload), and 20-40ms latency. The difference between the four packages will be the bandwidth.
The rollout has already started across the region. According to the Starlink website, the service is currently available in Bahrain, Oman and Qatar. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are pending regulatory approval, while Kuwait will be available this year. Exciting!

Just send them an e-mail asking them to immediately contact me when they start their service. Can’t wait this is exciting!
Their website looks quite old world and basic
How much will this cost?
no price listed just a contact us if you’re interested button
There was a time when I would have been so excited about this. But now, I can’t trust Musk, and I low key hate him.
PS> Your Samax link is broken
fixed it thanks
Local internet is expensive compared to rest of the world. Star Link is great but not cheap. It will be much faster & more reliable but for a pretty fee
Please fact check if Alghanim Industries is in fact, official distributor of Starlink in India. I have my doubts.
If you think Alghanim Industries are lying you could just reach out to them directly and let them know.
eww
Anyone get thr price list yet?
It’s not yet available in Kuwait
