I don't do unlimited plans. Although, I use an average of 150GB every month, unlimited is an overkill for my needs plus I don't want to deal with that throttling nonsense.
Seems these days most of the unlimited plans na scam. Lol, I remember using 230GB with N3,500 in about 5 days on Ntel back then.

It depends on your service provider. I don't experience any throttling but my monthly sub is expensive but worth it for me.
I think the price range for truly unlimited internet scares people away and the ones who offer cheap/affordable unlimited internet will throttle you.

Seems I've used 400GB plus this month alone, I don't download anything, Just streaming 4k/8k movies/videos.
You just have to make sure you get at least 20MBPS to really enjoy it.

No data Cap
It's smile, swift, spectranet and NTEL.
Price is relative, as it is per device. But the highest is 7k
MTN too dey, much higher at initial* setup, but monthly is 5k.

You will not understand and I can not say all of it here obviously, that's why I say DM

The cost of true unlimited is really expensive. I presume you are on Swift wttx plan, prolly the 25mbps plan and that's some money there.

You're right, 8k is far from smooth depending on the length of the video, but 4k is easy on multiple devices. Although 8k on YouTube is highly optimized for streaming.

It's about 4-5mbps. And yes, it's unlimited and no FUP but your speed will not exceed 5mbps. If you can deal with that, then you are good.

He was generous to set me up with a dedicated free configuration file for my swift network that works with only one device, fair unthrottled speed when downloading 3-4 MB/s and truly unlimited

Enough for 720p movies, no buffering streaming via my Cocotv app

Does anyone here use a mifi for Netflix.
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Bossman(m): 3:03pm On Feb 04, 2022
I have used my MiFi with a GLO/MTN sim card in it for Netflix a number of times when I was visiting. Watching netflix on my laptop though. Have not tried it on TV. I had no issues with the connection itself. However, it does zap data of course. Honestly, these streaming services are best enjoyed when data is not an issue.

Mifi - Huawei E5573

yeah, i use both glo and airtel huawei mifis for netflix streaming on my laptop very smooth on 480p.[sd]. i use it on tv too but the streaming is not as smooth cos its 720p[early hd]. hence i use a router that allows sim for Netflix on tv, 720p is stable, 1080p sometimes(latenight, early morning).

Okay bro, thanks for the info.

I'll get the mifi type you mentioned.

But, I'm also curious to know if 480p resolution looks good on a (your) laptop.

There is clear difference between the MTN mifi and normal phone network.

If there isn't network in your location, there isn't.. even the mifi can't help you..

Such a shame for an overpriced piece of shiit sad

Yh...
Not a premium setup obviously, hence the bandwidth, But it's okay enough for you and serves you.

But I warned you against it.

I have tried well over 9 networks, spending over 300k in the process to discover the best network for gaming..

I am using Swift for now, not the best, but serves my purpose for now.
