So has anyone here jumped on the Visafone EVDO bandwagon? If so, I'd like to know the following:
1. What's the maximum download speed like for the 600kbps package?
2. Is there any monthly bandwidth cap?
3. What is the latency like?
4. When connected, do you get a proper public IP address? Or are you behind a NAT?
Answers will be appreciated. Thanks.

visafone has broadband, it's very fast and reliable. the 1x is also good.

just a side-talk, visafone is owned by Jim Ovia so u should expect them to integrate a lot of IT stuffz. So even if their internet is not very good now, expect them to improve in the nearest future

I have been using Visafone in calabar for the past month with 24hrs services but I have lost 15days of no network due to Nitel strike. If you are in Lagos or Abuja , they are not the best but for the eastern part of Nigeria, they still need some time to set up their own network. I believe in the next 3 months, yes they will be good all round.

sometimes i wonder, is there anyother alternative than having to go out through SAT 3, ?
I thot Globacom was a SNO, and they should have their own Fiber optic cable, out of Nigeria,
no wonder internet in nigeria is CRAP, the issue is most of the ISPs have a very good internal network structure,
but the main problem is getting to the internet if they have to depend on a solitary point, the point is obviously going to get congested.
also i think MTN has a fiber optic cable around africa, why can't they just use it or something, believe me, a fiber optic connectivity is way better than a VSAT, trust me when i say that,
