was expecting much more from glo's 4G network


location VI lagos

amazing

Johnpaul2k2:
amazing

For where?

That's the speed on MTN 3G

MTN dey average 35Mbps... Confirm

amazing

What is amazing here? This is normal 3G on Mtn.

See MTN LTE on a bad day. On a good day it is between 30-40mbps.

It also depends on which side you woke up in the morning, or how many colanuts/gworo/orogbo you've had in a day, lol.

Seriously, it probably depends on when, what day of the week, and where you are with respect to any of our networks. (Besides, Fast concentrates strictly on streaming, no fluff, if one reads their philosophy. Speedtest by Ookla is usually less conservative.)

The attached are also with Glo's 4G, same day. And my transit time is not even the best...

My upload is so poor, it is very annoying
Had to switch to my Glo to upload this photo

my 4G LTE glo sim has never gotten LTE signal. Thought it was a sham.

Probably because Glo LTE band 28 is very uncommon. Your device most likely not support it.

I use an iPhone 6 Plus. GSMArena states this band as being supported.

I see. Have you upgraded to iOS 10? Apple added support for Glo 4G LTE on iOS 10. So, it's a requisite.

Yup on iOS 10.1. I'm beginning to think they gave me a dud sim.

Can you take a picture of the sim and post it here? I'll be able to tell if it's a 4G sim or not.

That looks like the 4G LTE swap sim. Did you swap your old sim for a 4G LTE one?

dustmalik:

Yeah I did. But have had issues ever since. When they call it rings for a few times (mostly twice) and then cuts saying "number not on the network" etc

I see. Maybe you should take it to their office and make complaint. Or get a new 4G sim.

dustmalik:

No, it doesn't
Still praying Glo adds one more band

iXavier:

REDDEVILS1:

Oh No!

I meant that I switched to Glo 3G to upload the photo

Glo is really foolish for using band 28,since people complain alot about thier speed,they should have brought faster.bands,only few phones are compatible with band 28,MTN has the best LTE but their stingy attitude........

Band 28 is only uncommon, not that it is slow.

Horebzy:

boss is that the GLO Bolt modem?

dustmalik:

I didnt say its slow but when compared,MTNs 2600mhz band beats glos 700mhz,also Band 28 isnt compatible with many phones as i said earlier,does tecno w3 and infinix LTE phones have band 28?

wunderkiind:

It is the E5377Bs-508 4G "MiFi" that was recently discounted and sold for N5k.

I think the "Bolt" is a 3G "Stick modem," but I haven't handled it.
