Apparently we are supposed to be throttled to 512kb/s, but this is clearly not the case.

512kb/s = 64KB/s.

What time?
What do you mean by 10gb large for 50 GB?

You should simply visit the link posted - if not already. While there, further poke around.

The real problem with Ntel is not the data volumes or even throttling sef

Its the piss poor QoS and spotty coverage around Lagos.

If you were throttled to 64kbps on a network that is working very well, you might find it usable. And that's the truth.

Remember when unlimited Visafone blackberry was still a thing. It had max speeds of about 200kBps and it was usable. Then useless mtn had to spoil a good thing


But when you are competing with evil spirits for 64kbps and only getting 10kbps with very high latency and constant drop outs.....

Then downtime in the region of 50% of the time isn't helpful.



The part I find really weird is how there's no off-peak consideration. So if I use the 3gb at 1a.m. I am left with 64kbps till next midnight.


All said, you guys on the network are MVPs sha. Hope you enjoy your money.

You know all this customer care, most of them don't know much about the product and service their company render, it will be best to verify from another one..
If truly it's not capped..i will be very happy
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by miki2014: 8:29am On Apr 25, 2017
I have barely used up to 200mb of data today, yet for some reason, my speed has been capped at 60kbps all morning. Customer service says they're looking into it.
Is there ever going to be a day without issues from ntel?

What is wrong with ntel self? It's like rhea want to lose all their customers. If they'd kept the throttling to 200kbs people go fit manage small. 60kbs is like begging customers to switch to other networks.

it should be like 512Kb/s or 1Mbps

There will be teething problems but Ntel should rise to the occasion. It should not be business as usual the Nigerian way.
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Zukoslim(m): 7:28pm On Apr 25, 2017
I was at Ntel office today at Marina. To ask more about the night plans, the lady could not even explain the available data plans, not to talk of knowing fair usage policy or data cap. She kept nodding her head to everything I asked

I doubt if their staffs are using Ntel or know what we are complaining about

Too know. ITK. What am saying is that they should throttle between 512 and 1mbps.

Has anyone jumped on the bandwagon yet of the new Spectranet Unlimited speed 18k/month offer depicted in the attached images?

https://spectranet.com.ng/promooffer.html

Please share your experience(s), if any, with respect to its usability, stability, and maximum sustainable d/l speed(s) in Lagos.

My current ntel sub expires before April 30, and I might just jump on this new Spectranet offer if justified by experiences that may be shared on this thread or elsewhere.

Thanks, guys.
