@infosmart

is it possible to get a 3G etisalat signal with a 3G 7.2 Universal modem b/cos i have been using etisalat on it for about a week in 2 different areas but what i get is just GPRS signal. but with mtn its 3G complete signal.
i was wondering if it is peculiar to etisalat network or maybe their is no 3G signal in these areas.

I would suggest it as wireless broadband service. It’s a very reliable service that is offered by several different providers. I too use the same in my office and it works well.

Re: The Best Internet Connection To Use? by RDbusiness(m): 11:58am On Nov 18, 2011
i will suggest Globacom to you as alternative to etisalat both companies have the widest coverage of 3G network in Nigeria, though all network in Nigeria are not reliable.

This recycling of threads are a tad boring.
This issue has been over analyzed.
Anyway, it depends on your location.

@dozie you need to subscribe to at least the 200MB Bundle on etisalat to get the 3G service, if you do the normal 100MB or u're using the 15MB then u'll still be doing EDGE, so just subscribe to the 200mb package, it's just 1000 naira now, and after subscription your sim automatically becomes 3G enabled, so even if u don't subscribe and u want to us the free data, u're forever on 3G  grin
Re: The Best Internet Connection To Use? by greggng: 1:11pm On Nov 18, 2011

Re: The Best Internet Connection To Use? by COMPAQ(m): 2:13pm On Nov 18, 2011
@dozie, if you staill have just EDGE on your device even after you subscribe to a bundle, just take out your battery, leave it for a few minutes and put it back on and you'll see constant 3.5G.

infomart:

What is the best internet connection to use? that is quite a difficult question to answer.

One cannot categorically say that one internet service provider or the other is the best out of the several ones we have in Nigeria because they all have their limitation and the government of our country are not interested in protecting its citizenry.

In considering the internet connection to use, one has to consider quite a number of factors which will be able to guide one on which connection to use.

These factors ranges from the cost of acquiring the modem, cost of paying for the internet service, availability of 3g service close to the individual, the speed of the internet service etc.

Cost of Modem, formally the cost of modems in Nigeria was so expensive but thanks to competition among the sector, at least the cost of 3g modems have now being reduced a little to between N8500 to about N13500, but the challenge is most of the internet service providers restricts their modems to their networks along and so whenever there is a network problem you get stuck. The only way to overcome this challenge is to UNLOCK THE MODEM AND MAKE IT ACCEPT ALL NETWORK. To unlock your modem and make it universal to accept all networks call me on 08034897371, then you will provide me with the imei no and model of your modem, after unlocking i will send you the unlocking code to your mobile phone. what you now need to do is to put another network sim in your modem, connect it to your pc and it will request for the unlock code, which i have already sent to you. after inputting it and clicking on ok the modem will become open for all networks.

Cost of Subscription, this is where a lot of Nigerians has the challenge. it is one problem to get money and acquire the modem but it is a more challenging issue to constantly pay for the subscription so you could always access the internet whenever you want. The subscription cost for most of the internet service providers ranges from N5000 to N15,000 monthly which is not easy for one to constantly pay. In this respect means have being device to assist people to surf the net for either free or to surf the net with N500 for straight six months. You can call me 08034897371 for details on this.

3g service, for you to enjoy internet service you will need a 3g access. We have two types of access, the edge and the 3g. The edge works like a phone but the 3g has a very high speed.

Most of our service providers modem has 3g modems with a browsing speed of 3.6Mbps but you can get a universal modem with a browsing speed of 7.2Mbps from me at a very reduced rate and it has the following features

3.5G/3G HSDPA Universal USB Modem
*7.2Mbps maximum downlink
*Works with MTN, Zain, Glo & Etisalat
*MicroSD Slot (Can be used as flash drive)
*SMS Capable
*Phonebook functionality
*Compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7
*Plug & Play (No CD Driver required)

With this it takes care of the lapses the normal 3g modem by our service providers has.

It is also very important you find out if there is a 3g service where you stay or which of the internet service providers has a 3g service where you stay. This is necessarily because if you have a 3g modem and stays where there is no 3g service, you cant enjoy a 3g speed but an edge speed which is about 236kbps.

Speed of the internet service providers, this is important but most times we cannot determine this easily but the most important thing is if it is a 3g modem it helps to enhance the browsing speed.

Therefore in all, I advice if you have not bought a modem yet that you should go for a universal modem which i can provide for you and if you already have a modem from any of our network service providers it is advisable you unlock it to accept all networks to remove the barrier of limitation. I also unlock modems so you can call for that also.

After acquiring the modem then you can contact me for browsing for free with your 3g modem and mtn network i.e. you don't need to pay monthly subscription

In all you will enjoy unlimited internet access and do what ever you want to do.

call me on 08023525720

stay cool
Men, all this grammar, when you could just give us the best service to use and the reason behind your answer. simple

Although they all disappoint at one point or the other. There are some that are manageable: MObiTel & Swift also Starcomms.

True, I hardly have any downtime when using Cobranet, with cobranet What You See Is what You Get, if they tell you they're offering you a speed of up to 800kbps, that's what you get, period. Please don't even try starcomms.
Re: The Best Internet Connection To Use? by otokx(m): 5:32pm On Nov 18, 2011
Whatever you do for now do not go near starcomms.
Re: The Best Internet Connection To Use? by sylve11: 5:54pm On Nov 18, 2011
I hate glo back in the days, but now they are my fav when it comes to internet. have tried airtel though it's a better companion to mtn. etisalat is ok too. cool
Re: The Best Internet Connection To Use? by jaysay(m): 6:29pm On Nov 18, 2011
@dozie, Yes, you can get a 3G signal from Etisalat with a universal modem as long as you have 3G signal at your end.

@poster of question. There's no best connection. Your closest to best is to use a universal modem and switch to the network that works well per time. For me, for now, Etisalat offers the best speed. I got up to 2.88Mbps download speed using speed test this morning.

I hope this helps. ;-)
Re: The Best Internet Connection To Use? by onchefx: 6:41pm On Nov 18, 2011
