Visafone Internet Connection! Any Hope?

Has anyone here subsribed to visafone's internet connection services, especially the broadband category. Please share your experience with us. I'm certain many would like to know.
Thanks.

Seun, whats their coverage like  in Lagos?

Virtually every internet is ok when its first launched in nigeria. Imagine using free internet in the United states with a capacity that can carry up to 5-7 computers in a nigerian cybercafe. What a world we are living in nigeria.

I agree with echie007 because i use reltel too. It has not given me any problem so far.

 Visafone Internet, umh well to be sincere, I was using that of a friend before so I decided to get mine because of the speed then, The speed was superb so I got their AirCard for 12k and paid for the day surfer (8am - 9pm). At first the speed was okay but later I started getting 1x service instead of Evdo service.  I took the AirCard to another friend's place to confirm what the problem is as in maybe its due to my location. It worked really fine there. So the bottom line is their service is very active if you are in Evdo service area but if the reverse is the case, _{Oyo lo wa}
  I was using my own AirCard on my desktop computer with the help of a CardBus Adapter. I decided to go for the AirCard instead of the USB modem because of the USB modem is quite expensive, it goes for 25k. I want to sell mine because I'm not in their Evdo service area.

Hey, I want to buy your visafone, call me 08033334439

I think that reltel wireless is the best for now because i use it and is very fast.

I use RELTEL, the speed is 230kbs. I pay N10,000 monthly subscription for 24/7. I've no complain.

The reason why you guys think RELTEL is the best now is because there are not much people on the network. Just wait for people to start migrating there, then you will know its the worse of all networks. I once used RELTEL and i got mad one morning and sank the phone inside a sink. Its because there are no traffic on the network thats why. Starcomms still rules for now even if they have their own bad side, but its widely use and a little effective, don't know about Visafone.  I would love to know more about them if they are effective, but from what am seeing now, the cost is too enormous.

You are so right. I've used starcomms evdo for over a year now. Up till the beginning of the year, it was ok. Now all of a sudden, you can actually cook, eat, sleep and wake up before a page opens. I have resorted to waking up in the early hours like 3am in order to get any decent work done on the net. Promises, promises they all make, all we pay for is shakara.

When the network is good! fine but when it's bad it causes. hmmm  what were you all expecting??  manage it like that, at lest it was not like that before abi 

Any Idea if Visaphone have support for express card slots?

i use GWL wireless connection and it is very slow. i use the 6pm - 7am thingy but d connection is so bad that u can only browse for like 4hrs in the supposed 12hrs slot.
its so annoying. i need a change but in which other ISP wil i take solace

Reltel wireless dial-up sucks,  don't know abut its broadband,  don't wana even try,  dey r so disapointin

I subscribed to the Visaphone internet about a month ago and i have had a terrible experience. I live on the outskirt of Ikorodu, so my choice was highly limited and i wanted a broadband service. Starcomms signals are strong here but their evdo service does not reach here.

There are problems with visaphone, too numerous to mention, but here are a few.
The broadband (evdo) service is non existent, most of the time it is the 1x service that is on, once the evdo lights up, you download stops until it changes back to 1x. It seems they are still test running the evdo. I Thought that it was because of my remote location that made evdo service impossible, so i took my laptop to their saka tinubu office to try it out. Still i could not find evdo service, Although the 1X was faster as the signals were full, also i met a lot of people with the same complaint. To me it is daylight robbery for someone to pay for broadband and get dial up.

Also their signal can go off any minute, in fact where i am, the signals fluctuates so wildly, that you have to log in again due to service disconnection.

The most annoying one is even if you have full signals, the service would enter dormant mode and until it leaves the dormant mode you download will be suspended.

Then the customer care is non existent, since i do not have a visaphone line, when i tried with my MTN line, i was told my waiting time would be 36mins, i immediately cut the line and resign to fate.

The verdict is if you do not intent to do any serious work beyond sending email and chatting, then you can manage visaphone, but if you intend to do serious work then visaphone is a no-no.

Finally, the state of service delivery in Nigeria is getting from bad to worse, be it internet, Light, transport, water, everything. we pay exorbitant prices for mediocre services.

If you need the best in speed and price go for starcomms Evdo now!
