What data cap does the trottling begin and what 4G service do you make use of now?

TBH i no longer have any idea.

at some point they said they have stopped throttling, and as u can see some other people say they have fast speeds so........

i use Glo 4G right now

Google's DNS goes down at times too.....
Dam5reey:


If you know how to do that, go ahead
DNS 1 8.8.8.8
DNS 2 8.8.4.4
I used my phone, I do not have any idea just downloaded Dns jumper enabled and connection was normal usually 10-15 Mbps

I noticed only Youtube was working fine at this speed without DNS, so I downloaded DNS jumper select google dns sharply

I'm in Yaba, never got a call for them despite complaining severally about slow speed. Which part of yaba are you and how's the speed?

Is it just me or is ntel running a promo, got a call from their customer service rep and i was given one week free internet oh, and the thing is flying like no man's biz, according to them after it expires if i decide to renew for the one month bundle, i get another one month free.... Are they for real? Location is Yaba

there's nothing wrong with anything other than ntel.



i've said it here before, ntel works great with youtube, no matter how bad the service is. even with the 60kbps i get, it does 480P youtube very well.

everything else is wack.



fun fact, this weekend i was able to lay my hands on another ntel sim. tested both from friday night till this morning

i loaded my own sim and tried both on the same hardware at home, same tarrif plan, the unlimited monthly.

my sim did not top 100kbps no matter what i tried

the other sim was getting 200 - 300 kbps, fluctuates sometimes to 1 Mbps. in the night the second sim consistently did 900kbps - 1.3mbps


at least i've been able to clear my doubts for sure now about my line


I've asked them severally if there's anything wrong with my line and they said, they even said they discontinued FUP but I'm not seeing improvements

Am at Onike behind Unilag back gate, the speed was good while it lasted, YouTube blazed without a glitch but the buffering on Mobdro and Kodi just killed me. So am still on spectranet, who by the way have been misbehaving of late ESP within the past 48hours. These networks are beginning to really piss me off.....

Enjoying my swift merit plan.
When torrenting, I get speeds of 3mbps-4mbps steady. I've only had one bad day so far and that day the highest speed I got was 500kbps.

Just got an NTEL sim today and decided to use it on an unlocked Spectranet MIFI branded E5372S-601

Problem however is . . it connected once around 4pm and all was fine. MIFI battery died; so had to charge it.

Since 7pm till now it has refused to connect; even with 2 bars network; I still drove to town, where I had full network (5 bars)

Yet, it refuses to connect. Just shows connecting forever.

I used apn: "ntel" (without the quotes).

Pls help as my subscription is running already and have not used it for even an hour.

Check attached pics

Since it worked before, then it's not a serious issue, check the APN settings ensure all is correct,

Restart the Mifi and try again..

Even mine is connecting without subscription...
