Hello friend. You are very correct. Most operators,users, engineers etc.are makimg the same mistakes.
We are no different.
The generally accepted unit of measurement for speedtests is kilobits per second.

I'm afraid yours is the sort of misinformation guys fall for. There is no generally accepted single unit of measurement for speed tests, friend.

Test sites and others either set a convenient unit as their own preferred defaults which remain constant no matter the throughput (e.g. Mbps at speedtest.net, which a user can change particularly if registered,) or base readouts on the class of speed. With the latter style, fast.com provides kbps if one's throughput is under 1 Mb/s, otherwise its output is in Mb/s; IDM, on the other hand, defaults straight to KB/s (8Kb/s) if under 1 MB/s, and jumps to MB/s (8Mb/s) if over. Still, testmy.net tries to present at least two of the units of measurement per test.

With the above reigning scenario, misinformation - some in fact deliberate - w.r.t speed test results, are not likely to go away any time soon. Those consumers who love themselves and value their hard earned money, should just try to arm themselves with correct, non-distorted or misrepresented information regarding products they buy into.

Actually, it's kind of a truth troll post. That screenshot is legit. It is however not a Nigerian network.

Thanks very much

Stop chasing their customers nau.

Don't mind him jare. It's just that you will only get 3Gb

If they have strong signal in your area, it will be decent speed, hopefully cos na per head ntel matter be.

4llerbuntu is being sarcastic.

I am hooked on their unlimited plans, I think long and hard at going back to plans where I have to be counting how much data I use and I feel like fainting, LoL.

Anybody using Spectranet unlimited plans? What's it like?

So far so good, this is my second month of using NTEL, location is Port Harcourt.

oyb:


i am presently on spectranet unlimited. 18k/month [they gave me 1k discount]
2-3mb/s

their fup is for the unlimited is 100gb - after which they will revert to the same 512Kbps / 60kbps -

not sure how much i have downloaded so far - maybe around 50gb. the real acid test is what happens after 100gb

connection was a little flaky in satellite town yesterday - but its back now.

now i'm being throttled to 100kbps after exceeding fup

Am about to get an OUTDOOR ANTENNA for my Ntel modern as signal is fluctuating @ my place .How much speed increase do I hope to get?

do they work? the last one i got did not work

The signals were badvor it couldn't see the sim?

18k....100gb of uninterrupted good service is not a bad deal.

i was getting the same number of bars as the normal antenna (was using the swift device not mifi)

maybe the antenna wasn't set properly

those external antenna things don't work jare

It would seem that Spectranet is ntel's most direct competitor.

Maybe Ntel should take more than a cursory look at spectranets offerings.

I have repeatedly, even in a call they made to me yesterday, advised that they provide a monthly heavy user data plan. Still nothing. I cannot understand how they expect a user to pay for three months upfront.

Spectrnets throttling is still usable, even if annoying ( no u are approaching fuplimit warnings and a waste for heavy users ( I went through the 100gb in one week.)

The bonus is on Ntel to provide a competitive service.

What about the free night browsing. Are you still able to use it?

purplekayc:

plug antenna, then screw it tight, is there a special way?

The unlimited gold plan has no free night browsing.

It is a capped 100gb plan which degrades from 3mb/s to 100kb/s

WebPages and YouTube still appear to load fine however.

That's why I prefer the 12,500 own
You get 40gb plus extra 40gb plus 1000 Naira.. Then at night you get 1.3mb/s (midnight)
In summary for 11,500# you get
80Gb + free night browsing (1-7am at 1.3mb/s or lowest 1mb/s ) which is what I am using
It's far better than 100gb for 18k
