Since MTN stopped double data on my sim I decided to look for an alternative. Oh how I miss MTN 4g.. incredibly fast and I use to get 20gb with 5k, 44gb with 10k which I normally finish in 3 weeks but the speed is insane.

anyway I remembered I still had an ntel sim with my unlocked modem... I threw it away when the speed was unbearable. luckily i found it after thorough searching, subscribed for the 2 days plan and was impressed at impproved speed. So decided to do the 1 month unlimited plan for 12,500. Its been 2 weeks now and I'm impressed. It serves my whole house, about 7 devices and there ha been no complains. Speed is not as good as MTN 4g but still decent. At least I was able to update my battlefield 1 for ps4 which is around 7gb. I started downloading by 1am and by the time I woke up around 7am download was already complete. I have not experienced any throttling either, streaming youtube at 480p is breeze, minimum lag at 720p (at night no lag). I think Ntel have improved at least in my area, I get just 2 network bars but download speed is around 4-7mbps during the day with ping of around 100ms, but from midnight speed improves to around 15mbps with ping of around 30ms. I have used 61.5gb in 2 weeks and still going. Speed is not as good as MTN 4g but I must say it gets the job done, now I don't have t worry about downloading or streaming.

Lol, a lot of people left their shitty network. But I won't lie I'm enjoying the speed now. Good for heavy users, not so friendly for non heavy users. I don't download unnecessarily but I might end up using mor than 100gb this month. That's awesome.

Like I said I don't know. I have not experienced any throttling, I stream all day but normally download from midnight when the speed is faster. I downloaded files worth 8gb in 1 night and by morning speed was still normal.

Those are most probably standard, regurgitated responses, and may not mean much.

If I'll harzard a guess, I'd say those CS interface guys probably know little of the technical adjustments that are probably being made behind the scene presently, now that ntel is obviously trying to regain/maintain some level of relevance in Nigeria's Internet data subscriber-space.

Whatever, ntel, yours truly is still sitting on the sideline. Good luck, and you better work much harder to get more of the type of positive posts such as greenhulk has made on here within the last 24 hours or so.

Nope, I do normal browsing, youtube streaming, light downloads during the day. The heavy downloads I do at night. I use an average of 2gb everyday when I'm not downloading. I understand some people abuse these unlimited privilege by always looking for something to download everytime. I do download but no useless downloads.

Read through just about 60 or so of the posts made immediately before/above yours; that should give you a pretty good idea already.

MTN is using Visafone (CDMA) LTE license, with dedicated frequently and channel.

Their is expected to be faster than other networks.
