For smart users u can get 40gb from mtn for 10k. Yes its not unlimited but unless u run an office where network is shared among many users, then 40gb should be enough for an average user at an incredibly fast speed. If u really care about unlimited then ntel is the best solution. Last month I disnt even use up to 30gb on my ntel, it was slow espeially for streaming and most of the times I found myself using mtn. I love streaming a lot, ntel sucks at streaming. I play ps4 online, ntel WILL NOT CONNECT TO PSN, so for me its no longet worth it paying that 10k when I can get 40gb with 10k from mtn.
i think mtn hynet does unlimited
you should have done a 2 day testing before full subscription
ntel is a new service and hence still rolling out

Ntel have been around since April, they are no longer new. I've been using ntel for the past 3 months. Service was good at start but has been gradually getting worse.

5k gives u 10gb plus additional 10gb for device bonus. 10k gives 22gb plus 22gb phone bonus that's 44gb for 10k. Just dial *131#. I currently have 23gb and I'm going to subscribe another 5k for 20gb before they review their data plans by Dec 1st, or if possible just do 10gb for 44gb so I can accumulate like 60+gb before the review.

my question is was it stated categorically that there would be a price review Abi Na hoax. All I see and read is they will, but no actual statement.

Get the Alcatel Pop4 plus, it's 36-38k on konga and does 4G on all the GSM networks including Ntel. It only spectranet and Swift that it doesn't cover.

Thank me later..... Cheers

Good question, I can't say for sure but it's standard practice for network providers to lock their hardwares and have the WebUI customized for them alone.

They get discounted rates from manufacturers when they do that, than buying open source devices.

Just my thoughts sha oooooooo.... Cheers

Don't think so.

if i had known this earlier, i would have bought it [was 31k at the time] it is powerful , dual band and has usb 3.0. after a whole saturday of searching pc village, i eventually bought a tplink modem at 45k. the thing vex me no be small, but i didnt want to be locked to a network, and i didnt want to have to deal with these dubious modem unlocker hustlers.

The NTEL router is too expensive to be locked, was 36 but now 45. I was pissed. Rocking my unlocked swift router sha, cost me so much less
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by eraly(m): 3:06pm On Dec 02, 2016
I wanna ask a question from those of you using all the networks 4G. Did they lay those cables along ur area? Cos I wanna knw if its important for them to lay those plastic/rubber cables b4 d 4G network can be available in a particular location?


Why am asking is because I went to mtn's office here in ilorin around september/october and asked one of dia staff/officals wen dia 4G is gonna be live here in ilorin. D guy told me b4 January 2017 ending. I den asked if they av laid dia own cable along d state (cos then, laying of those cables was going on), he said No. That they avn't laid any cable. D guy told me Glo ws among those laying then. I dnt ask me any question again n since then av bin 1darin if its possible for them not to lay those cables.

Pls som1 with knowledge abt dis stuff should educate me. Thanks


Pls forgiv my ignorance

Neck breaking speed but wait till it gets congested. I can confirm ntel is congested with the rate they sell devices and the way people unlock modems these days to use ntel. Ntel will get better with competition but they are slow with expansion, quite a number of old mtel/nitel base stations are wasting away.

For me sha, I've succeeded in reducing my workplace monthly internet from 25k per month for 125gb to 10k per month for unlimited Internet


Well said.

I still get a consistent 20-23 Mbps on 2/3 bars on ntel (from its former glorious high of 40-50 Mbps.) Plus, it now streams way better. My problem is that it drops out in my crib for about one hour, about twice a day, at unpredictable times. Sometimes, a drop out coincides with power failure. At other times, I just need to restart the modem or invoke the Airplane mode.

Overall, I simply fill in the drop out periods with Glo's LTE data (about the same speed in my area.) That way, I can now cover a whole month of 24/7 LTE service, as needed, with not more that 12.5k. So, I really wish ntel continues this way - at the minimum.

Ah, seems you've posted this in several threads. Not too cool. For what my response is worth, I have already responded to it in one of the Glo Speed threads where I first saw it.
