Bros! I finish that their bonus data...In their life, they wouldn't try that double data thingy again... infact, schedule my PS4 to download another 48GB game while i am at work.

Anyways, swift seems to be the most stable around my end (Palmgrove/Onipanu side).. Fast enough to handle what i need to download sha..

Hahaaa......Sharp guy.
Youre like me too. I do most of my downloads and online gameplay at night. Cant afford playing Fifa online then the network will start fooling, thereby making the gameplay very terrible.

After switching round all mobile networks looking for fast and reliable data services, a friend introduced Spectranet to me in January 2015. It was the best Internet experience I've had since I was born. I was the king, I could do all I needed to do and the kids could stream their animations and educational videos. I was the most reliable when making Skype video calls. If you come to my house, I don't offer you water or drink, I give you wifi password.
Despite having just two bars of signal around Durumi area, I streamed videos like they were stored on my tablet or laptop.
suddenly I became an apostle to spectranet. In fact somebody in the central area nearly cursed me once on Facebook for praising spectranet. His honeymoon oerios was over! I never knew Spectranet has a honeymoon period for everybody and every area in Abuja.

My/our honeymoon period expired January 2016 when they started their double offer promo. From that time, despite my steady signal strength, I have been using about only 2 or 3 gig out of almost 40gig I have every month. It became so poor that as bad as Glo network was, I preferred Glo data cos spectranet would not even open a page on a browser talk less of using VOI calls or streaming videos.
If you need to open a website now, you better start boiling beans at the same time, you page will open when you are done from the kitchen.
I went round my area asking apither subscribers and they all have the same story to tell. I mailed their customer service and an engineer was sent to my house and area. He confirmed that their service was no longer optimised there just like those people in the central area .
I have tried on a few occasions to subscribe again but I ended up wasting money every time. I tried Smile too but their own data costs an arm and a leg.
my options now:
1. Unlock the wifi device for a more customer friendly broadband provider
2. To give out my wifi device for free.
3. Seems as if I will try NTEL oh

Have you tried ipNX?

Worked in a company whose ISP was IPNX.... To tell you the truth, they were whack. They had to switch to SWIFT TALK which i think is a subsidiary of SWIFT networks. For the swift, they were paying around 300k every month for a bandwidth of 4MB/S for a month.

Spectranet customer care has informed me that their 'unlimited' night download speed is capped at 512kbps.



This is not on their website or policies.

When I started the service in April, I was getting 1mbps.

Dubious baggers.

Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by Gargoylesmiles(m): 11:58am On Jul 29, 2016
I have been a Swift user since 2012 and I haven't seen any reason to change to any other network up until now when Ntel popped up. Swift I will say has been relatively consistent and met my needs but i just hate how am restricted data wise. This applies to all networks anyways.
For me the catch is speed and the package.

Since Ntel has promised an uncapped data for N10k/month with their current speed then i will likely settle for that once their network coverage improves in S/Lere. If there service is not onsistent, I will stay with Swift.

To get out of owning too many ISP devices I went ahead to get a generic 4G LTE router, TP-link MR6400 so that I wont buy any network router again as far as 4G LTE is concerned. Just throw in my 4G SIM, configure APN, subscribe and then viola am online. This is my internet short to medium term strategy for now. Long term will FTTH, fibre to the home from hopefully ipNX (or whoever comes up) when their cable comes close to my abode or when i move close to them (whichever comes first) smiley

Wow! whack? I have been with them since 2008 and had also tried different networks in different locations in Lekki, Lagos none compared to ipNX network.

Their downtime is the lowest I've experienced so far, currently in my office in Lekki we use ipNX, my boss and his wife who were both born and brought up in the UK even testifies to their super network.

I'm in Abuja, so you can just get in touch with me for the unlocking. Meanwhile, if your device is that E5172s-925, NTEL won't work on it, but other devices are fine. And finally, NTEL is the king now....even as far as KuchiKau after Masaka....where I stay, it's damn blazing. grin cheesy

Woah, thats nice to know. I hope they upgrade quickly and give S/Lere fantastic service. I had a flickering one bar and it was blazing fast.
Looking forward to when I can boast of 3 bars on my modem. Speedtest showed 13Mb/sec as at the last time checked. Swift has not crossed 7Mb/s since i started using it.

That's nigerian style , it explains why people rush new products cos the producers lower the standards.

Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by alstacs(m): 2:47am On Aug 01, 2016
I also forgot to add that one other evil with Spectranet is that if you allow your subscription to finish before you recharge your account, then you are OYO. What is wrong with them giving you access to their website to allow you recharge and subscribe? You have to look for another Internet source to do that.
I had sent several mails and called their customer service to tell their bosses to correct that but dem nor just send

@op . At least they are trying compare to other ISP provider. Its not easy operating ISP , most of them go on CAPEX and OPEX to optimize operation. Although money for service should be the priority . Perhaps Stick with them instead of jumping from one to another. Had once worked with them and i did supervise all the equipments/machinery that was brought in and they are very good at what they do . Spectranet LTE is super rich .
Stick with them ke, haba oga? A nor get shares for that company fa? I tried to stick with them twice after they kept calling me to try again that they had worked on their system. I ended up wasting 10k twice. All they ended up doing was reaping where they didn't sow.
When I say slow, this slow is an unusable slow. I mean it when I say you can't open a page on the net for most parts of the day. As bad as glo is, I'd rather stick with glo
