i know just wanted to use it to benchmark for when they finally deploy the glo1

P.S. how can you tell when a company is using subsea cables? i know you said from the traceroute or speedtest but i still dont get how you do it. . .

tomcat:

indeed you can do it via the tracert from the command prompt, and see what kind of ping you are getting but there are simpler ways as well:

1. open your command prompt and type: ping www.yahoo.co.uk or any other site in UK (i always check with UK). If the ping is between 120-350ms it's fiber optic. If the ping is anything above 570-600ms it's satellite, as signal needs to travel all the way from here to the satellite and down to earth again.

As far as i know MTN 3g has switched traffic to main one.

2. Easier still: go to www.visualroute.com and go to livedemo. In there chose a server, normally i chose one from london UK, and then press start, it will show you all the hops that the traffic is passing to reach your computer, in most cases you can even tell which internet wholesale provider they are using.

Commissioning doesn't necessarily mean it would start operation. . . . they might still be setting up!!!!!!!!

netotse:

@puskin
In engineering, setup is a world apart from commissioning. Usually, commissioning comes after installation and what we call the commissioning tests. . .to all intents and purposes, (from an engineering standpoint,) a project should only be commissioned when it's working.

flyuche:

when glo1 really starts "business", i will let you guys know. right now forget all the nonsense you read in the papers.

4llerbuntu:

na wah o, see matter o, inaugurate, commision, test, NA WETIN!!!!!

why all this drama over just another GADDEM CABLE? no be person don launch mnths ago without all this drama?

sorry to say ehn, this free awareness program on NL had better cease till its actually working b4 we reduce to insulting each other here o!!!!

we will figure that out ourselves as well, Smiley the thing is who can safely predict when that will happen

my friend, i prefer to have a discussion about when glo-1 will be connected something that will change internet map and prices for good, rather than posting in useless threads on how to cheat on mtn, glo, zain 3g, how to find piracy software and all sorts or rubbish that this forum is lately filling up with.

. . . . .Where is ur sense of humour

. . . .and who told U that I don't know wat I said. My statement is only referring from a political standpoint.


I don hear U, shebi nah. . . . . EPCI - Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation. . . . ehn!!!!!!! we dey there now.

smanuel:

Why don"t you guys call it what it is. FBT. Technique. I have read this forum. Its like an inside joke among quite a few elites. Any novice can read this all day and not have a clue what is going on. MTN, GLO, ZAIN are all reaping everybody off! Not just a few. For every person have paid above 40$ a month for Unlimited bandwidth to these telcos, they deserve FBT knowledge.

samir101ng:

N.B glo don start N15 per min calls to all networks. I had to turn my room upside to retrieve the sim. Loaded N500 got N50 bonus. I don park my other lines now.

Djcn:

Pls any links for that info

samir101ng:

Am so sorry but i don't have any links. I have a friend who works in their sales department. He  activated my line for me. I think you dial *100*something# and send yes to confirm. I have been using it since yesterday. Its a newly launched promotion aimed at beating etisalat in the market. I dont even think they have updated their website yet. I promise however to post the instructions tomorrow morning by God's grace.

NB. Yes, am in Abuja now and i can confirm that glo has an EDGE network. They don improve from GPRS (abi na 2.5G dem dey call am). Where are all the people shouting about how improved glo 3G+ was ? Me, i never see 3G+ ooo! Am currently at Zone 6 behind Military Pensions Board. Abeg, prove this doubting thomas wrong.
