1 bar and 30kb/s for the last 12 hours.

serious effup.

instead of facing their infrastructure they are wasting money on advertising to bring in more users to an unstable network.

All these complaints about NTEL every time.

Is it only NTEL that offers 4G LTE service in naija. undecided
You ppl should realize by now that NTEL is not ready for biz.

i have been through swift, specranet and ntel.


they all have their bad days.

for the past two days someone has been struggling to email me a file. he uses swift and he says the best he can do is send it lat at night.

the saving grace of ntel has been highlighted repeatedly - no cap. at least one has the hope that when they are working, the 20gb of downloads will be downloaded. not the story of spectranet where you will be downloading with caution and cursing when non resumable downloads break.

all of the providers are effed in their own ways.

if i recall, smile is the most expensive of the lot in terms of cost/gb

i just checked their site - they have unlimited premium of 19,800 [unlimited data from 12am to 6am]
unlimited lite - which is not defined

that is even crazier than spectranet who are charging 10k for 'unlimited' from 1am to 7am.

I use SMILE and I subscribe on a monthly basis. Their unlimited plan is 19,800. They have this fair usage policy: you browse and download at their highest speed for the first 100gb after that the soeed is reduced to 2MBps

on their website the unlimited plan at 19800 is free midnlight browsing - the unlimited lite is not defined.

True that. Around 2.45am, it picked to 1.1mb/s (finally). So I spent the time I should have been working nursing my downloads to completion (very weird behavior with openload; sometimes the downloads will just freeze)

Am forced to use GLO 4G LTE faster, better and cheaper........ i will dump my Ntel till further notice

I guess I have to do same. NTEL had been frustrating the past two to three weeks. This month's subscription is a total waste. Unfortunately they don't seem like they will compensate customers.

What band is GLO 4G so I know if it'll work on my unlocked spectranet Mifi E5372
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by 4llerbuntu(m): 1:49pm On Apr 07, 2017
Today the experience is that one line has been fluctuating all day.

whilst my personal line has been working fine.

i even swapped the sims in both devices to see if it was a device issue, but thats not the case.

therefore in the same location my own line in my Mifi is working (DNS issues as usual so its intermittent), whilst the other line inside Ntel router has not worked at all today. the data connection keeps going off and on every 5 secs.


make my sub sha finish make i fokoff

Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by DeLioncourt: 2:30pm On Apr 07, 2017

Ntel is of no use for now. Glo is ok
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Alsayer: 6:39pm On Apr 07, 2017
It would've been nice if they actually responded to complaints rather than pretend that everyone is satisfied with what they're getting.

Despite their poor services, to recharge sef na wahala, Ntel throttles speed i think after using 3g or 6g/day, afterwards It becomes xtremely slow.

i suspect that is the case. they have some threshold after which your data will be throttled.

It is.
Before, they throttle d speed i think after 10g/day, but u stil get 400kb-600kb via idm download, browsing n streaming still remains super fast,
But now it seems they "over" throttle d speed, cos u only get 20-30kb on idm, browsing n streaming becomes very slow.
