At a high level, at least that's how it works here in the US, the cable will be run to your house, there will be a box outside your house that you will connect to to run it into your house. Then that cable will connect to your cable modem/router.

Gurus in the house, how does fibre broadband work? All those cables being laid underground how will it connect to your phone or devices?

I don't know if TIZETI works there. How ever if they do na headache. If you want unlimited Internet. I think Starlink will be the best for now or you can go for Konnect

You get a cable to be connected to your router inside your house, but the router will be powered by electricity then you can connect all your devices to the router...

The thing is, they won't deploy to your area or estate because of you alone. What they do is to, first of all, gauge the interest in their service in an area. If there isn't enough interest, they won't deploy their service there.

I once enquired from MTN on what it would take to deploy their fiber service to my estate. They told me that, at least, one hundred household has to show interest.

Airtel "5G" unlimited. It's supposed to be 20mbps but I hardly ever get above 10

10 Mbps is more than enough for any household unless you want to download Big files.
How much and what router?

Got mine from shopnig https://www.nairaland.com/7823712/free-airtel-5g-router#125483073

You can also walk into any Airtel shop and make enquiry. The device is free if you pay for a months subscription

Right now I am generally tired of all these ISPs. Looking towards trying starlinks.

For the dotmac, it got so bad that I had to tell them to dismount the radio and give me my device. They have been trying to get me to connect ever since.

No way to discard it. Just keep it as scrap grin grin. E fit get use one day.
Where was your location you used dotmac? Abuja?

Just got the Airtel 4G smart box with Unlimited 20Mbps. So far so good, as you posted it's like 10Mbps which is sufficient for my needs @20k and it's moveable anywhere coverage is.

They said 5G box is out of stock.

I sent mail to airtelbusiness@ng.airtel.com, and their affiliate called 2 days later.
I confirmed again and again, if it's true unlimited and there is no Fair usage, though i don't do heavy downloads i don't just want data to stop in the middle of the month, the representative confirmed its true unlimited no cap or fair usage
I was sent the SIM pack details went to register and made a 20k payment on the website, for the 20Mbps Unlimited plan.
and they sent me the Device.

Okay, thanks for the info. I am just wondering if the 5G device may be available at their main offices around the country. I will check at their headquarters where I am.
Could it be that they have decided to issue the uncapped plans with 4G router and not the 5G router, given that the highest speed is 60Mbps? So they just tell customers that 5G router is out of stock?

They might be out of stock for real, even third-party resellers are out of stock, 5G is not even everywhere and most only do the 20MBps which is worthless having a 5G device.

It depends on your location. This is what I get with mine. And it's truly unlimited. Have dumped my mtn 5g since using this. Am hoping MTN will jump on this unlimited wagon soon.

Have been using it for 3 months now It's unlimited, its speed capped not data/volume capped. I stream netflix and watch live matches with it, the only issue I have is the ping/latency. When gaming online especially evening period it lags. For me MTN is better in this regard

So does that mean the device is for free once you pay for a months subscription? Cos I can't where you referred to the price of the 4G router.
