Haven't tried the Silverbird one but Tetrazzini wasn't so bad. Its ended? Huh Shocked

When did you start using swift gamine? I notice swift kindda draws you in within the first 3 months with decent services. Afterwards, you are on your own.  Embarrassed Tongue

Don't believein the super speed adverts from Swift through Zoom networks,if you need a super fast network,it aint as cheap as they are offering,we are all sharing bandwidth that explains the fluctuation.we don't have the super highway pipeline in Nigeria,this networks claiming 200MB in 2Min's should be sued!

most naija services are over hyped and over priced.  one would have tot paying in advance would reduce the prizes.

Never believe what's on print (and on screen too)  Grin

but Gamine, this one you're saying swift is wack, na wa o. maybe i'm close to base sha, but i get speeds btw 30-60kb. but it doesn't seem too stable with my Xbox. Could upgrade the dashboard but it tails of on the heavier updates. what would you suggest? My uncle's DOPC is gathering dust faster than i breathe.

I have been using Swift for close to 2 yrs now, their service is very poor during peak periods(morning-evening) and very alright in the night and on Sundays too,(you can achieve speeds of upto 50-80kbps on the fly). They always telling me they would improve  cos they annoy me during peak periods ooo.Most ISPs dont allow you go close to your CIR not to talk of your Commited Burst esp for shared bandwidth.
   But asper Internet services for naija,Swift are trying shaaa. Tongue

all this hunky junky advert is just a HYPE, I use IPNX at home and in the office, for  now their service is a bit okay. but the dream of having 1meg download or more cannot be achieve until we have fiber in this country,  so dont believe any advert.

hello nairalander why not try starcomms Genie Izap I use it and I think it is ok. Also the recurrent monthly cost is also affordable: 9am - 9pm N7000, the download speed is between 33 - 40kbps.

I was at the Swift Hotspot location in Silverbird Galleria today. The free trial ended today.
I have to say that I was really impressed with what I saw.
I was downloading 3 files simulatenously each at a speed of 120KB/s.
Sorry I couldn't get a snapshot but the next time I'll be their I'll get one and post.

After the free trial, 30 minutes will be sold at N150 and 1 hour at N250.

I have to say its one of the fastest wireless network so far and I hope it spreads across more cities in Lagos.

Whats the average download speed of MWeb in KiloBytes per second?

The average Swift Hotspot download speed I got was 300KB/s or 2400Kb/s.

I must first of all appreciate the landers that posted this topic, well I apologize to those of us who did complain of swift services but the fact remains that in trying to upgrade out services,things may not work out for some clients but it really would improve.

I use this opportunity to assure our client that the speed would improve and you would notice it in no time meanwhile the hotspot is not just speed but a super speed browsing,I encourage everybody with wifi enabled gadget to try it

I would drop my official email address for you guys to contact me if you have issues with your browsing- tufot@swiftng.com.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve,I remain loyal to our client.

Average speed is 225KB/s and I don't believe that Swift bit. Thats what I was using before I changed to Mweb. Smiley

Swift Hotspot is a location for wireless internet browsing. You go to the Hotspot locations with your Wi-Fi enabled devices like laptops, PSPs, Phones, etc and browse. Its like a wireless internet cafe.

I think Swift will deliver the promised speed. They have there own Fibre laid to this locations and also use point 2 point microwave equipment. as such the Network bandwidth is assured. I heard they don't have issues with Internet bandwidth as well. just an Inside Info. Sort of close to the guys that makes the policy Wink

Its simple maths really, (for those dat paid attention in nursery school)

a) Customer device to local hotspot wireless access point = 54mbps

b) Hotspot location to swift office = fiber (>100mbps)

c) swift office to internet over fiber = maybe >100mbps


a + b + c = GREAT SERVICE!!  Cool

i tried d silverbird service and i culd watch a movie frm start to finish without breaks ( while eatin lunch too)! dis is far faster & better dan any sleazy cybercafe.

SWIFT CONTINUE D GOOD WORK!! Grin

 Shocked 518KB/s is equal to 4144kb/s in real bandwidth. Now i haven't seen anythin faster in naija even with Mweb.

Lets always try to give kudos to pple that are doing d right thin. Somethin good can come out of naija afterall (if they can keep it up),   Grin Cheesy
