oyb:I've not been able to get up to 200kb/s since yesterday that I subscribed, even 100kb/s is a problem. I've restarted my mifi several times, just to see if it improves, but it has all been futile. I was one of the first persons to get an ntel SIM when they started out on April 19, 2016, at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja. I got mine the next day. I remember very well how much I applauded them at the time, given the speed I enjoyed back then. The state of ntel network is now very shameful barely a year later. I'm very disappointed with ntel. |

4llerbuntu: Not unless he or she is on windows 10. In that case, its not necessarily the modem calling home but telemetry in windows calling microsoft. ofcourse Telemetry only works when it is connected so that doesnt explain the part of his 1gb disappearing.. Oh well what do i know?? i am just an SE. |

Swift Networks is as unstable as ever. And it fluctuates a lot. Swift in Lekki-Ikota- Ajah , is a mess. First screenshot of 0.28 Mbps speed is a test I took over an hour ago. Second one of 1.77 Mbps is one I took at midnight . It may go down again after midnight

dsunmade: Installing glasswire may help you also need to note that a lot of manufacturers esp chinese have bundled all sorts of covert spyware in their systems huawei for instance, is affiliated with the chinese military. last year lenovo was busted for installing some sneaky software within laptop firmware, such that reinstalling windows made no difference. you maybe onto one of those manufacturer shaming scandals if you can track down exactly what is going on. |

soloqy: Totally no..even if the swiftng box is unlocked the device might not support the LTE band of Ntel |

moonraker: The modem was switched on but all other connections, wifi and ethernet were off. So, all data used up was by the modem and not by a computer's OS. The data usage was monitored by one of the mobile network's apps. I will appreciate if someone else can carry out this test to ensure consistency. It will be nice to have Ntelassist's input since he is an engineer and the ZTE router is one of their products. Posted the issue on Ntelassist's other thread with no response. |

moonraker: The bolded is the part i don't get. and telemetry sef won't consume 1Gb in a month unless you are beta testing and committed to uploading every single log ever generated on the PC. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by 4llerbuntu(m): 9:00am On Jul 26, 2017 |
dsunmade: did you check the telco data counter if it registered the 1Gb as used on your line? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Ativ: 9:08am On Jul 26, 2017 |
4llerbuntu:The router data counter also registered but it was about half of the 1Gb. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by moonraker(m): 9:09am On Jul 26, 2017 |
4llerbuntu: Sorry boss, what i meant to say is that Telemetry wont work unless the client PC is on and connected to the internet... Telemetry is capable of sending that amount of data, boss, trust me.. But this is irrelevant cos both client pc and modem are switched off. But like Oyb stated, it might be some kind of rogue software doing some background shit. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by 4llerbuntu(m): 9:59am On Jul 26, 2017 |
Ativ: yeah, this confirms what i said earlier that it's reading uploads and downloads as one and multiplying them. that modem is doing 'keep-connection alive' on steroids best look around the device management page. might be there's some setting there that you can turn off/on that'll help. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by mrdan(m): 11:10am On Jul 26, 2017 |
Ativ: Hi, hope no one else is connecting to your modem that you are not aware of, maybe someone has gotten access to your modem and is using it without your knowledge. I'll suggest you change your wifi access password and check. Also is your modem unlocked to other network, so you can try with other networks and confirm if it does the same thing. |

I doubt there is any LTE network in the world more frustrating than ntel right now. Some 2G networks seem to be faster even. A total waste of money, if you ask me. 1 Like |

After a service outage over the last one week or so, ntel services returned to my crib along the Lekki axis yesternight (intermittent) and through today so far (rock steady.) The steady D/L is just about 10mb/s (attached) but, hey, I'll take it, especially as it's in line with the new D/L speed policy, and provided it remains rock steady. (I had exchanged quite a couple of email messages with the ntel help desk a couple of days ago.) I'm on the N12.5k monthly limitless plan. Good luck, crew! ........ P34c3 ..... ...

Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by JayJayGee: 11:53pm On Jul 30, 2017 |
Please i need suggestions on which 4g ISP to go for with unlimited plan with the following in mind; 1. Relatively cheap 2. Fast network and stability 3. Fast speed even after reaching fair usage * as i would be using it to download pc games and streaming PS Now which requires a minimum speed of 5mbps and would be my main reason for subscribing unlimited on 4g |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by kfrosh: 9:09pm On Jul 31, 2017 |
Who else is experiencing this super slow speed from ntel. It has been making sense not until this morning where the download speed drastically went down. Is it not truly unlimited like they have made us to believe. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by bisiriyuahmed6: 11:23pm On Jul 31, 2017 |
(1) help Is there any easy way to Check my spectranet LTE Data account ? (2) How faster is Ntel Network (signal) in Agege Lagos ? which I want to use it to download 15GB Videos |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by PoisonedOne: 4:20am On Aug 01, 2017 |
I finally bought another sim yesterday after they frustrated me for one without registering the sim I bought September last year. I got home and got it set up, it worked for about an 2hours (though the speed wasn't that great, but manageable) and then stopped. I've a full bar at home so I don't know what the problem might be. Anyone have an idea of what I can do? I've restarted the mifi several times. |

4llerbuntu: Blood of Jesus No wonder they can't expand beyond 3 states and their services is dead poor. This country is truly corrupt. Kai, over 70billion. Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Users of ntel, take note oh... |

I remember reading, from credible sources at the time, that Mr. Ayeni single-handedly donated N4bn to President Jonathan's campaign in 2015. Here's a link to some N2bn of it... http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/173602-nigeria-2015-governors-skye-bank-chairman-others-donate-n21-billion-pdp.html It should probably be better on the long run that ntel goes into receivership, to avoid a total collapse. ........

Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by kfrosh: 7:52pm On Aug 02, 2017 |
12k5 for 1 month. It's going fine now. It was actually extremely slow that day I posted the post. Guess it was just one of those days of bad network. vanchi: |

kfrosh:so no throttling after the 3gb cap? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by kfrosh: 9:20pm On Aug 02, 2017 |
I don't think so; in less than two weeks of activation, I am sure I have used close to 30 gigs. I still download till date. Seems not to be super fast like before but I can attribute that to poor network for the past few days. Live streaming and the rest still go smoothly. vanchi: |
