SolomonGrundy: Which data plan do you normally go for? What can you say about the experience. |

nani667: The 20k (130G) should be enough for a residential plan, just Netflix, YouTube and Instagram. Or what do you think |

toluxa1: How fast is the network, what's the average Mbps you've gotten so far, also which package do you normally subscribe for? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by SolomonGrundy: 3:52pm On May 18, 2021 |
Bigsteveg:I normally do 10gb sub. I've really enjoyed it. It's very fast. The only down side is the battery, it does not last. |

SolomonGrundy: With constant use of Netflix, YouTube how many days can 10G take you |

Bigsteveg:I don't use it for streaming, so can't say in that respect. |

Hi guys, has anyone heard of Ip-Express, it's an isp company located in Magodo here in Lagos. They offer unlimited plans also. |

Has anyone tried Swift new fixed wireless service? Is it worth it? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Alienwarfare: 8:27pm On May 25, 2021 |
Psychodavidovic: I have used up to 1tb in a month before with the 25k unlimited plan so I don't think they is a data cap. The issue is speed. Whenever I used speed test it shows over 4mbps BUT my download on IDM and torrent can never pass 500kbps which is very annoying I've even reach out to there support they sent someone but the person didn't do shit. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Dam5reey(m): 10:39pm On May 25, 2021 |
Alienwarfare: Exactly you can do up to 1TB with time.. 4mbps translate to 500KBps now around 5mbps or 550KBps.. For me it gets the job done with time and very good for YouTube or Netflix |

Alienwarfare:they're just finding a way to avoid overloading their infrastructure. You can try out the swift club plus plan |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Alienwarfare: 1:42pm On May 26, 2021 |
Dam5reey: Do you plan on going with there fixed wireless option? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Alienwarfare: 1:55pm On May 26, 2021 |
purplekayc: Is that the plan you are using? How is the speed when downloading? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Dam5reey(m): 2:21pm On May 26, 2021 |
Alienwarfare: Yes, I believe it will be more stable as the mentioned in their Email listing.. and cheaper @19k instead of 25k but not mobile I don't take it out either. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by purplekayc(m): 7:30am On May 27, 2021 |
Alienwarfare:am about to start it. I used the one month sub the last time and I never got up to 1mb/sec |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by walcolm(m): 11:54am On May 27, 2021 |
Alienwarfare: Why the f are you still using Swift? Why not buy an unlocked router that takes a sim card and subscribe to large data packs from the GSM network with the best coverage for your area? First, It gives you freedom should you decide to relocate from one area to another and the coverage strength changes Secondly, you can share the same data package with your mobile devices when you go about your regular day...the big GSM guys now allow data sharing between multiple lines |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Alienwarfare: 12:39pm On May 27, 2021 |
walcolm: It will be too expensive. Where else can I get 1tb for 25k and the sim is already in an unlocked mobile router. I'm just waiting for fiberone to come to my area. Their plan looks very good. 1 Like |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Psychodavidovic(m): 1:00pm On May 28, 2021 |
Alienwarfare: Turns out 4mbps is actually 500kbps. They are just using the 4mbps to get people to subscribe for it. They also sent someone to me who didn't do anything as well. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Psychodavidovic(m): 1:05pm On May 28, 2021 |
walcolm: No other ISP in this country has a truly unlimited plan with nearly the same coverage as swift. None. The speed is slow quite alright but the peace of mind in doing just one monthly sub in that month is something else - regardless of how much data you use, it still lasts you 30days. Other ISP like MTN, Airtel etc might give you 500GB for 25K which looks like a lot, but if you're a heavy user, you might actually end up use that in just 2 weeks and have to do yet another sub. |

is anybody in this group considering spaceX starlink when they launch end of year in Nigeria as they promised? I have already booked the $99 deposit on their website starlink.com fingers crossed..... |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Alienwarfare: 3:22pm On May 28, 2021 |

I found this on swift IG page but their support can't tell me anything about it.

Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by walcolm(m): 8:23pm On May 28, 2021 |
hancock: dont you guys think it is too expensive? with the value of the naira depreciating at the drop of every hat and the upfront outlay of $500 and annual cost of $1200....as much as i love everything Tesla, this seems too expensive |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by walcolm(m): 8:28pm On May 28, 2021 |
Alienwarfare: what's the point of having 1tb that you can't use up in 30days because of the slow speed? i agree with you the price point is very competitive but if i cant get more than 500kbps, i will be permanently pissed oh btw, i have used swift in the past and i had to switch from them because of the exact same problem we are discussing here. if 3 - 4yrs ago i moved because of the slow speed of their network and in 2021, the same issue is still existing on their network, the data cap is not enough attraction |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Psychodavidovic(m): 3:26pm On May 29, 2021 |
hancock: I was thinking about this but i have just one issue. The router from the YouTube video seems to only work with direct power - no light and it's not going to work. I hope the one for the Nigerian market comes with like a small power bank or something. |

Is tizeti better than swift nowadays? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by walcolm(m): 11:03pm On May 31, 2021 |
Psychodavidovic: A power bank cannot supply the amount of power required by the system...you have to have either solar or generator supply when phcn strikes |

walcolm: Wahala. With the electricity situation in this country, if that is the case, I won't be buying it then. |
