mare23ayo:I quite agree with you that one needs to pay for premium services. However, I think 5k for 5Gig is rather unreasonably expensive in the present day Nigeria. Smile isn't the only one with good network fa. I Skype for 2 hours non stop on Etisalat too (when their head decide to correct) |

alstacs: So boss, what actually went wrong? Was all your preaching just a hype? |
Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by alstacs(m): 3:06am On Aug 04, 2016 |
Preaching about Spectranet just a hype? I had never used an Internet service as fast a it. A friend from south Africa visited me once and updated two Iphones, a Macbook and an Ipad within a few minutes; all together. He had to ask me if I manufactured WiFi in my house ni. It was quite good till they became powers and principalities, collecting monthly allocations without any work rendered. |

I got a mail from Spectranet after I frankly told all their customer care offers that I had ported and I wasn't ready to waste money again. I also directed them to Nairaland to assess their popularity and appreciate the bashing on them here. They kept telling that they had escalated my displeasure and complaints.

Following that mail. I got series of calls again from very courteous ladies from the Spectranet customers service assuring me that the network issues in my area have been addressed and I should try them. I subscribed to the 4Gig for 3k and I was happy I did. I was on Skype for 2 hours without a break. I update all my outdated softwares. is it possible my first love has come back home to me? Or I am just being deceived to subscribe again so that they can break my heart with maximum impact? 1 Like |

alstacs: What's the speed like now and which location(s) did you try it? I learnt they reviewed their prices. |
Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by alstacs(m): 11:22pm On Aug 11, 2016 |
ollah1: Speed is still good oh. Unfortunately, I can't present an objective speed test but I use Skype a lot and my children too stream educational and entertaining cartoons. These two are still running fine. I've been afraid everyday to see the network return back to the dark ages. Data plans were reviewed but they appear unreasonable to me, if they want to gain back all those who left them for Ntel, Smile etc, they should have more attractive data offers. Gaduwa Estate area. |

Guys, can any Ntel user summarize how you perceive the network? |
Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by Nobody: 11:39pm On Apr 16, 2017 |
Gargoylesmiles: the good days are gone ntel has unresolved performance hiccups, but more importantly, the smartphone unlimited which is the package most of us buy is no longer unlimited. it has a daily data cap of 3gb. once you pass 3gb, you get 60kb/s connection. if you're not a heavy user all well and good, until its time for netflix and chill and you're in netflix and boil 2 Likes |

oyb: I bought their SIM and decided to test first by subscribing for the 2 day plan (best decision I have made in a while ). I was throttled to 60kb/s from the moment I started browsing, speed only increased slightly at midnight and I could not even browse some minutes after 12am. The next day I could only open Google related webpages and that's how it remained until the sub expired.....thrown away the SIM already. |

Hello all, Has anyone here tried Glo 4G recently? I know it can be finicky every once in a while, but for the price I think its cool. I just did a speed test and here's what I got in Warri. What's more, I'm in a horrible network area. Give it a try - you get 10GB for N2.5K NB: I do NOT work for Glo, I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Just thought to share.

Jabia: my experience with glo is that they are too erratic. even within a 10m radius, you cannot get a steady signal . 2 Likes |

Scam of the century. Funny tho you can still watch Netflix and Iroko on it. droopyd: |
Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by droopyd: 11:24pm On Apr 19, 2017 |
Gargoylesmiles: Ntel redeemed themselves a little today. Got a voucher for the 2 day data bundle as compensation for the network issues. Speed is good so far, streamed the entire Barcelona vs Juventus Match without much issues and just finished downloading the Windows 10 creators update (started the download after the football match). Seems like torrent downloads are throttled though. |
Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by okonja(m): 11:03am On Apr 20, 2017 |
droopyd: Can you drop the coupon here for us? |
Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by Nobody: 11:22am On Apr 20, 2017 |
droopyd: creators update is 3.8gb or thereabouts [64bit] good luck |
Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by droopyd: 8:34pm On Apr 20, 2017 |
okonja:The coupon is not re-usable, already tried |

Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by Gargoylesmiles(m): 5:10pm On Jul 23, 2017 |
droopyd: So what network are you on now? I switched to Ntel finally as they are the only ones giving me unlimited as I can manage in Naija (price and speed). |
Re: Spectranet: The Honeymoon Seems Over In Abuja by alstacs(m): 11:16pm On Oct 14, 2017 |
Gargoylesmiles:And is their Unlimited actually unlimited? Spectranet has a some unlimited plans but I later discovered it is capped at 100gig after which they drop your speed to something cannot even open a page on the net. Airtel too came out with with their unlimited too. The stories na d same |
