| MTN Hynet Issues; Please Help by PGON(m): 7:19am On Aug 30, 2012 |
I subscribed for Mtn hynet 512kbs two days ago. Wimax network strength is ok (75-80%) but the connection speed is absolutely poor. maximum speed on download is 60kbs. this speed is affected by other activities on the system like opening pages. once a page is opened the speed goes down to 30kbs, 20kbs,10kbs, and so. it is like the two systems currently on the network actually share 60kbs speed. Is mtn 512kbs = 60kbs. I have tried severely to reach their customer care but kept getting failed request. Have anyone used this service before? I need to know what is happening. |

Its called shared burstable bandwidth. Your link is shared by more than enough users. When there are less users online u could experience higher browsing speed. To say the truth 60kb is 2 poor. Mine flunctuates btw 100kb-150kb for normal browsing. For video, i see burstable speed of 150kb uplink and 450kb downlink. Fair enough |

From time to time, There is no difference in the download rate. i can't even watch live movies online. i still do wait and load. In Accra we use 256kbs for all the systems in the office. multiple downloads and video streaming is really very fast. Here in Nigeria 512kbs cannot even allow me to watch live movies or download applications. it hurts really bad. |

The truth is the ISPs lie about the capacity of bandwidth they can deliver. Dont be moved by the 3G, 4G nonsense they peddle all over the place. From information i gathered, mtn has less than 40 wimax powered base stations in lagos. A lot of locations are not covered by mtn hynet, but i learnt they are working on expanding. For me, they should stick to their traditional voice calls instead of dabbling about aimlessly. Maybe u should try other WISPs in lagos, their service i m sure would be preferable but a bit xpensive. |

I really appreciate your help. At least i have someone reasoning on my side. Those guys (MTN) are just after money, scamming people with services that they cannot provide. Current download speed is around 6kbs to 10kbs with just two systems connected. I was hoping that this weekend will be different, it turns out pretty bad. Can you imagine i'm trying to download a 3.36GB file, estimated time for the download to complete = 5days 2hrs rubbish. (it's been downloading for about 26hours now) After this month... ... i have already paid. |

Mine is 63kbs maximum collective download speed (all files). no open pages or any other thing going on, just download Subscription = 512kbs |

Why not upgrade your subscription to 1mbps or 2mbps? |
| Re: MTN Hynet Issues; Please Help by PGON(m): 7:52pm On Sep 11, 2012 |
estateng: Why not upgrade your subscription to 1mbps or 2mbps? I presume that you didn't read the early conversion before making your post. I paid for 512kbs and all i get is maximum of 63kbs. Give me reasons to upgrade. |

One thing u guys don't understand is: the kpbs or mbps u see is not kilobytes or megabytes per seconds o. Its kilobits and megabits per seconds (bits, not bytes). So, don't expect to see urself downloading at 512kbps coz u paid for 512kbps. And remember, the general browsing stuff comprises of both upload and download which shares whatever bits u have initially. So for u to get kilobytes or megabytes per second, be ready to spend (A LOT). 1 Like |

For more information about conversion from kilobits to kilobytes, visit: http://www.matisse.net/bitcalc/?input_amount=512&input_units=kilobits¬ation=legacy 512kilobits/sec = 64kilobytes/sec |

We know the difference between kbs and KBs,thank you. FYI;MTN promises 512 kilobytes not kilobits.y |

it happened to me when i was using unwired 4g i paid for 512kps and i couldn't even open a yahoo mail page then when i upgraded to 1 mbps ,it was much better ...512kps could fluctuate as low as 10 to 100kpbs instead of 512kps pad service and the 1mbps could fluctuate as low as 200 to 600 sometimes instead a 1000kbps service .it is just an economy where you need to make things work when you know that things are absolutely not workin. 1 Like |
