That's the problem, I want to swift but they aren't available in Port Harcourt where I reside. It's a real bummer.
Bummer. Use spectranet then.

Spectranet is perhaps the fastest LTE network I've used. (YMMV, but I've gotten upwards of 7-10MB/s across different devices)
The problem is that their "unlimited" night plan is capped at 100GB or so, then the speed is throttled drastically to 512kbps or so.

So they are still doing this rubbish . that is why I left them in the first place.They were throttling during their free period. Fk them.

It's been a while. Downloading 150KBps on normal sites. But google drive gives a max of 400KBps. Streaming on YouTube is very ok.

And yes their unlimited plan is truly unlimited. I mean i have used about 80GB within the past three days but that slowness is my problem. I have to settle for downloads that uses google drive to get up to 400KBps. Every other sites is just slow when downloading. kiss

Apologies for this... Have you tried during off peak periods at night? Maybe 10pm?

Have you tried placing the mifi close to the window? smiley

Yes, nothing i haven't tried, same speed. Looks like they throttled it to 400KBps.

Was only able to achieve that download size because it's from google drive

I'm thinking of getting a mifi when I get back to Nigeria next year. Trying to decide one with coverage and speed. I shuttle Lagos-Asaba-Ph-Enugu frequently. Does any of these networks cover this area ? Someone with good knowledge of these things should please advise

Same thing. Not more than 400KBps on downloads. Tried it in different locations within Abuja, same speed, even on full bar.

I am sure it is throttled to that speed.

I did enjoy it. 130GB in one week is not bad. Just the speed that is the problem. My system has been on for a week now, poor machine must have swear for me cry

Yes, sir.
However, although Swift is not as fast, there's no data cap that i Know of.

Swift is not as fast as Spectranet? I'm hearing that for the first time.
