Best Home Internet Service In Nigeria?

do u  wen your tmobile sim in naija wile roamin on mtrn & glo?

I'm in Ibadan and I know they have Multilinks and Starcomms,I'm currently using Starcomms 24hrs Internet services which is 10k a month I will give it 40/100 because I manage to get 15kbps out of it using accelerator, Evdo is not yet in Ibadan. My questions is since we launched Nig Sat2 before it break down in space what is the satellite purpose and the fibre-optic framework been lay all over the country?

i hail Nigeria o we should change our logo to that of the snapping turtle, we are just too slow on everything and we don't even know it,

All the above are just lies and deceit. End of story
Except for a few people here , most of my people just trump-up some "technical data" that they themselves dont even understand!

I believe Nairaland is meant for "sharing and education" but what you read mostly are borne out of pure ignorance (that one is even blissful!), and crass greed!
Stop comparing Oranges with Grapes, they just look alike but are very different.

Let me say here, and boldly too, until Nigerian houses get equipped with the "Plain Old Telephone System (POTS), like we use in those days of "NITEL Landlines" (with all those useless wires hanging over the pole  though, those wires should have been buried underground anyway)
, we will never enjoy anything close to broadband Internet.
How can you call some lousy 50Kb/s (KILO BITs!) broadband internet? What kind of stupidity is that?

Ask our friends from U.K and U.S or anywhere in Europe where they have broadband?
Its a minimum of 1MB/s (1MEGA BYTE  => 8bits = 1BYTE, 1024BYTES = 1 KILO-BYTE, 1024 KB = 1 MEGABYTE)

So, we are saying minimum/cheapest B/band is 8,192 KILO-bits/second (i.e 8X1024), now compare that to our "VERY FAST" 50KB/s!

If you look at British Telecoms (B.T) and other landline providers elsewhere, we are talking of 7 MEGABYTES PLUS internet Broadband!
, and ask them again, no one can or will ever achieve those speeds without 'POTS' LANDLINE. (Q.E.D)

Instead of Nigerians putting more pressure on our Rulers, our NCC figure-heads at Abuja, to ensure that we revive the very efficient Landline (using a combination of Optic Fiber and copper cables, like Globalcom was doing) we are all here trying to justify the rubbish they are serving us!

Wake-up ma people, Ghanaians were once refugees here before we drove them away, now they have all this "rocket-science", like stable power and B/band internet. Stop yapping about how u can "send-Email, Browse or even chat" on that snail-internet that you use your whole salary to service every month  . Someone up here told about how he cant open E-mail for hours! I tried updating my Anti-Virus for weeks, imagine?

Broadband is for "heavy-data delivery" like VoIP, Video calls, CCTV Remote Monitoring e.t.c,

No wonder unemployment is very high: No NEPA, No Broadband, No Telephone lines (GSM is meant for "mobile or emergency calls only so, dont start puffing! ), go figure-out the rest bro, am out of here   

yep, all I have said is true, all those stuff they are saying on thier website got bypass dunno how though,even better  if you text WEB to 441  you get 5 day pass for £2.50,for some strange reason, my IP says London and so is my Location even though Im roamed fru MTN,roaming charges are not applying I dont know why,it only applies when you make or recieve cals plus text too  but its free to recieve text,and yes its packet data plan which is web n walk, its connected to my mobile  dunno why is saying that on thier website though

wel, I dunno  bout any other networks,but I know only bout Tmobile  cos thats what I have had the xpirience with, you will neeed aa GPRS/3G activated phone, make sure you get the setting in the US before you come to 9ja, ie you are able to brows with your web n walk in the US on the mobile you intend to use and its GSM based, thats all you need to do, Im in Nigeria at the moment  and this is what Im using in replying to this post, its not mega fast as you would get over there but I managed to use it to update my windows Xp laptop in full, so its  still Ok download speed is something like 5MB takes between 20-25 mins depending on traffic, but I gues while you are in 9ja  you are not gonna even get the titme to do film and music download, you will be too busy with the girls and guys having a  beer  lol anyway, anything else holla.

For the non-tech person,  or perhaps anyone else,  the true test of a broadband connection is if it carry voice AND s treaming video with very limited/minimal buffering. This IS the true test of a highspeed connection. Some can carry Voice relatively well, and video with some degree of  streaming, and this can be acceptable.

Nuff said.

@ p1 your right

wrong, its infrastructure that is the problem,

internet in togo, benin republic, ivory coast, cameroon and senegal are a lot faster and cheaper than naija, why, infrastructure, copper network
