How Is Swift Broadband?

Does any body use swift broad band  in lagos?
How is it? Any thing you wish you knew before getting it?
Cost nko? Basically i want the "unda gee gists"

well, we jut got signed on (3 weeks) and it's been very swift, we're located in Ikeja,

don't mind udoh zone! Swiftbroadband is the best for now,because we're using it in my office and is very ok.

Advantages.
1. Faster.
2. No network failure.

Disadvantages.
1. You have to pay them before the due date or else they will disconnect u.
2. Reconnection fee is #2,500.00

I think *faster* is relative. For someone who uploads websites and downloads huge files, it may be different from someone whose greatest *geeky* job on the internet is attaching a 1mb pdf file to email .
And whats with the 2,500 naira reconnection fee? Thats absurd. They aint seen competition yet.

Thanks people,

I went to CTO yesterday , spoke to two other internet providers

1. IPNX had a good package ,  I don't need a mast in my house  ,  but they have a maximum download of  6GB per month,
2. Directonpc did not have a price list for me to compare.

3. Another option might be Starcomms EVDO.

Anybody has any experience with these other guys?

I presently use starcomms dial up , 

       First Swift doesnt give a "dedicated" 384 Kbps. 384 Kbps is a shared bandwidth.

       Secondly, I don't know how u tested ur link to get 50/15 but i know even on their worst day, u can "NEVER" get that from swift broadband. Use 2wire.com speed test and wow yourself.

       And thirdly, "slow" is relative to what u use the service for. Use it to upload a web site that is heavy, and it will be slow. please Ur experience is peculiar to u.

       I dnt use it full time but have use it to download Programs, watch videos and listen to song at "swift" speed.
so if anyone wants to try it, go for it. Besides, they offer one month money back guarantee.

Oh nooooooooooooo, many of you guys are getting it wrong about SwiftBROADBAND  from Swift Networks Ltd., one should not forget that no ISP can be perfect, but meet one's needs  one way or the way. What I realise is that too many people have used many networks. They have become "isp harlots" and have behind their mind negative experiences before subscribing for a new service after the disappointment with the previous ones. I can confidently say, the best  and slick technology any modern Nigerian can fall on is SwiftBROADBAND . When it comes to deployment, there are two options, the Indoor and the Outdoor Wireless modem which is the ultimate solution depending on the proximity to the base station where the wireless signal is received. The beauty of the indoor is that of a plug and play so can be deplored immediately by oneself so far as u are not a network phobia person who wants everything done and cooked for you, all you do is sit and browse, sometimes sites that are detrimental to your own computer system.

Anyway, let me set some facts straight, SwiftBROADBAND  does not charge any reconnection fee, one has his own style and package to manage. Swift does not claim to offer 384kbps as claimed by some one as the minimum speed, if you read closely the ads, it is shared and very flexible terms of service. There are dedicated packages and also the service is a prepaid one but Swift Networks Ltd. has very large heart to deal with clients.

What we cannot take away if the difficult environment in which we find ourself in, the people we are, very difficult and always want things to be perfect while we are not perfect in doing our own things. But the we must all strive to get there for all to have his/her money's worth, so definately, there is a meeting point.

I personally think and believe SwiftBROADBAND  has much more to offer and surely the near future, those on board and yet to join the family of SwiftBROADBAND users  will have something good to cherish and be proud of. Remember, internet is the growing to become the total way of life and one cannot wish away the fact that you need not just an internet service but an internet solution in totality without restrictions. Watch out for more.

To all SwiftBROADBAND cherished customers, the sky is the limit, so much is in the pipeline for you.

@ Elizabeth

ur testimonial on their service is interesting, where is ur office, i could come do a speed test and compared it to other service provider that we install for clients, maybe there's something about Swift-Broadband I ain seen yet,

Babe, so if u feel I need to be convinced about ur 'love', Buzz me, send ur address to my mailbox, could come and rip ur network and see what it is, u r enjoying!!!!

I use SWIFT in the office (Victoria Island) and home (VGC) and have some information about them. They have their bad days, but I will still recommend them without any hesitation. I find them quite ethical, in that they stated clearly to me that the 384Kbps subscription I have is a shared service (they have dedicated bandwith service plans which they usually do not advertise). I also love their money back guarantee which demonstrates confidence in their ability to match their promises (Nigerian companies are bad at this). IPNx is untested in mass broadband deployment, while DoPC and STARCOMMS' EVDO have serious ongoing reliability challenges. I also used SWIFT to create Wifi at home and office which EVDO may not allow you to do. I understand that they will launch their Public Switched VoIP service which will provide their subscribers with simple, cheap and reliable calling plans to both domestic and international destinations. I can see a Nigerian Vonage in the making! Sign on to Swift, at least you get your money back if not happy!!

heard swift is good but you can also try 21st century. works well in a lot of places

Oga Seun, do you actually hit that limit on starcomms? If you do, I bow!
