Only the spectrnet Wi-Fi (E5573s-606)can work with glo.l bought the one of mtn yesterday search available network can't find glo 4G when I try the one of spectrnet it was there so look for E5573s-606 unlocked.

Thanks, I've indeed seen it previously posted on here that the E5573s-606 supports Band 28. Is it the one (or one of the ones) currently on offer by Glo? If not, which specific model of MiFi is currently on offer by Glo?

So, i bought two mtn MiFis yesterday. I didn't get to use them yesterday, but this morning when i tried to check the data balance on both of them, i saw only 10gb. To be precise, 10240mb.

I plan on taking them to their office this morning, and demand that they add the remaining 10gb. Did you experience this?

LOL grin SO 10GB disappeared on it own. did u check it in their office before leaving?

No, I didn't. I went back to complain though. They said they would resolve it within 24hrs. I'm not going to let it slide. They must give me my 20gb.

oboy this glo 4g rocks mehnn.... just too fast.
I noticed that Glo 4G doesn't work when the APN is set to glosecure on the E5573s-606 mifi. In fact, only gloflat works with Glo 4G on the mifi. Could you try it out on your Alcatel and give me feedback? I just want to confirm if it also applies to phones as well. Thanks.

I see. But i tried out earlier today and it didn't work. In fact, Glo 4G signal disappears completely if anything but gloflat is used as APN.

That means that it works differently on phones. By the way, I envy how good reception is at your location.

Re: Glo 4G LTE - First Speedtest & Review by eraly(m): 3:07pm 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

Short answer: No, a Telco does not have to lay cables before delivering 4G/LTE services. Telcos can — and do — use existing 2/3G signal or WiMax masts that have been equipped or upgraded to deliver 4G services.

More answer: The cables being laid by Glo are made up of Fibre Optic lines/wires. Fibre Optic "wires" are very modern, ultra high efficiency but relatively and individually thin strands/wires that can each transmit hundreds or even thousands of times the signals which the old, traditional telephone cables were capable of doing.

A simple illustration showing traditional [TV] Cable (left) vs Fibre Optic cable

Morals of the story: Glo is already positioning itself to deliver ultra high speed services in a cost effective and efficient way to most areas of the country, and in a short while, if you asked me.

Those are my own layman's understanding of fibre optic engineering for data services. A professional at it would give a better narrative of all I've written here, and would probably be much more accurate. So, YMMV.

Good luck.

Glo is trying these days, I was having problems with their 3g at particular place in delta for over a year and this month I call their customer care and complained to them, they promised to get back to me. A week later I received a sms informing that the issue has been resolved and actually I now have a stable network inside the house unlike before

Thumbs up to glo, thats wat we call customer care
