Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by rawdpiper(m): 7:38am On May 24, 2018
I think Swift Merit has a speed cap on it........

Now I have access to two swift devices
(i) A swift runner with a SIM subscribed to swift merit
(ii) A swift router with a SIM subscribed to Swift Essential(comes with 30GB, no unlimited bonus)

When the unlimited time kicked in for the swift merit, I plugged the runner and started downloading, noticed I was not getting top notch speed, was getting speeds between 500KB/s - 1MB/s, occasionally 2MB/s I disconnected from the runner and connected to the router to confirm if it was a general issue. To my surprise I was getting 3,4,5 MB/s easily from the router but had to disconnect from it because it didn't come with unlimited plan.

Thinking it was probably the router that was getting a stronger signal, I took the SIM from the runner and placed it in the router and I was practically getting the same speed from when it was in the runner. Returned the SIMs back to their default positions and I was getting blazing speed from the SIM subscribed to the swift essential....

That led me to thinking if there's a speed cap on the unlimited plans.......

Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Don't you think it would be cheating to be downloading at 4-5MBs for 6hours per days and 19hours on Sunday using 3k subscription,
Would there be need to buy Essential plans.. wink

At 3k 1MB is very ok as long as it's stable..

My subscription is 7k, 18GB 18 hours, 6hours free unlimited night, I do get over 2MBs in the night with that you can do 18GB in 2 days..
Note: the 2MBs is from a poor Network, 1or 2 bar at most..

If it's capped it's still very ok

Yh....I understand. But the thing is even the 1MB/s is not stable, it mostly hovers around 600KB,700KB. And it's a full network, three bars. Is your 2MB/s stable?

Is your 2MB/s stable?

I was talking about VoLTE, not getting ntel network to be stable.

By the way, i've come up with a faster, better and simpler way to get ntel working on Xiaomi devices, and it works on all miui roms, whether on sim 1 or 2. I'll make a video and post it.

As far as i know, it only works with Qualcomm SoCs and it must be rooted. I think your device's SoC is not Qualcomm.

So because I want to get 10 + 12gb I will refresh for almost 2 days

You get 1Gb for N500 on Pulse and it gets doubled to 2GB. If your sim is selected for double data all you subs get doubled. Well, if your sim ain't selected, you could trick the system into selecting your sim.
1. Send DOUBLE to 131 as a text message.

2. Send PROMO to 131 as a text message.

3. Then, Send FREE to 131 as a text message.
Didn't work bro they don't double the pulse data
Did it work for you?
If not kindly stop sharing unverified information without stating that it's unverified!

Ntel has always been shit one time i subbed earlier this year i couldn't open a single page throughout.
It got a bit better recently and i subbed again then it got worse. YouTube is mostly decent but downloads are at 300-600kBps ish on good times until you reach their cap of 4gb ish and then speed goes to shit levels less than 100kBps.
I think I'll get a swift sim and jump on the 3k plan then combine it with something else.

This thread was helpful. Peace

yh. me too. Was getting the same speed, I even had 7MB/s at a point but it was for a brief moment. Was generally better than yesterday.

Though it's fast. If you had used a normal data plan(no promos attached), you'll probably be getting 5MB/s. You get what I'm trying to say? I probably don't know what I'm saying sef grin grin conspiracy theory
