No one is saying the Hynetflex is slow, I only said the plan is a scam.. Nothing unlimited about it.. I get 35mbps regularly on it.. and Get same with my normal MTN internet SIM card.. Dey both give the same speed. It’s plan that’s a scam..

Meanwhile I am a gamer, thought that since Hynetflex is a router, it will solve my gaming issue. Which is to av a NAT type that’s not strict..

NAT type 2 or open Nat type if you use Xbox
How far for gaming did Hynet make any difference for you? I use my mobile hotspot and I'm considering getting the Hynet. As for changing Nat type have you tried the settings people recommend online?

Abeg compared to using your mobile as hotspot is there any speed difference?
Non… MTN Hynetflex is by faaaaaar MTN biggest scam.

No difference btw the speed it gives and what your Universal Modem or Mobile hotspot gives..

The unlimited is also a scam as u can do nothing with the 512 kbps

Your location is the main thing. Both my mobile phone and hynetflex router gives similar speed (5MB/sec and above).
Also, one thing I have observed is that Internet speed differs from SIM to SIM. I put another sim in same router and speed was terrible. But there are 2 sims that gives me incredible speed here, I don't joke with those two sim cards.

That's serious o. I wonder why people are still flouting it as insanely fast if there's no difference between the speed it gives and speed your mobile hotspot gives. Thanks though, you saved me from a world of regret.
I just need something for stable ping for COD Warzone. What area are you at and how's the Swift like? Comparing it to the Hynet you used, what's it like?

In my search for how to make my network stable for Warzone I stumbled upon different APN settings. Normally, the APNs settings were meant for speed. If any of the APN is slow I bounce to the others, and for some reason different APNs have different speeds.
In connection to your case, I noticed one of the APN changes my NAT type to Type 2. That aside, what Swift Plans do you do?

Like seriously, Location is underrated. I now begin to realize why so many Game Streamers move to different cities just to get the best network for their games.
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know, the fact that there's zero speed improvement with the Hynet.
For the sims is there a way to know the one that would give better speed??

Don’t get me wrong pls.. My speed was fast with the Hynetflex, as it’s the same speed with mobile hotspot. which means it makes no difference with the “flex” and also means that MTN network is good at my location.

For a gamer like me, speed was not enough.. MTN and other Mobile network have firewalls that affects gaming.. It makes the network strict.. This way, it’s tougher to connect to other gamers.. Especially on game mode like CTR Nitro fueled , playing with Nigerians on FIFA 21 (it doesn’t affected normal online gaming), among host of other games..

Swift is good at my location, luckily for me.. It took me spending over 200k, and trying host of different sim cards

Ntel
Spectranet
Airtel
Glo
MTN Hynetflex
Normal MTN sim
VDT
WiFi.com (Tizeti) luckily I got refunded

The only network I never tried is (9mobile)

Of course the Fibre cable providers wasn’t an option as my location didn’t permit that.

I av now found peace Sha

Okay. How much did the Swift cost? And how'd you get it?

I will advise you ask for friends or anyone you know that uses Swift, take it to your crib and test the download and upload speed..

If the download speed after 3 test is above 5mbps then you are fine.. Upload should be at least 0.4kbps…

I get about 20Mbps with my swift tho


Will add you up as soon as I get back home from work ..

Lol, another person thinking of buying the Hynet. I was just like you until Bastardson talked me out of buying it two days ago. Read our previous comments here or ask him directly. However, from what he said: There's no speed improvement with it (comparing it your 4G mobile) and it all depends on your location. As for data plans there are better options and considering if it eats up data faster, I gathered from someone else that the 25K sub (200GB) finishes in under 1 week of watching just 3 Netflix movies. Although I find that unbelievable.

Lmao, imagine giving users Floated data, MTN be Thugs. Okay, I've sent you a message on WA. So, Flytime hope you can see this, Hynet can be considered a scam.

I'd recommend the same one that got recommended to me: Swift. However, before you buy SWIFT try and test how good their network is in your area or ask a friend to lend you their modem so you can test it in your house.

Hi guys,
I currently use FiberOne in my area and no complaints!

But sometimes, it goes down for extended periods... Up to 3days sometimes.
I'm looking for a 4g Sim deal that I can use as backup on my router which will kick in only when FO goes down.

Does anyone offer an "always on" package where you pay for just what you consume. As I don't want to be paying monthly/yearly for data I would barely use

Cheers guys

Which one is floated data again?
But why are these companies doing this? All of them do it... Not just mtn. Why isn't the consumer protection doing anything about it??

Oh, I meant floated data as in it's inflated. You are given 100Gb when in reality it's actually 50GB or less. As for why they do it? Well, why not? There's no one calling them to book, more profit to them at no cost whatever. Also, we've got to realize that there's no MTN, AIRTEL, ETISALAT or GLO, all we've got are Networks that mirror each other in exactly everything apart from the bandwidth they broadcast with.
Furthermore, those who are supposed to aid Customer Protection have long since switched to Provider Protection. That's why I still say it till today, Ntel in their heyday was the best network.

Good morning,

I’m a US resident hoping to travel down to Nigeria to spend 2 months.

I intend to work remotely from Nigeria and in need of super fast, reliable and uncapped internet in Nigeria.

Cost is not an issue, I just need an internet that won’t let me down.
