is this 8k their monthly charge for their 24hr internet or is the monthly charge different? and wat is this montly charge like?
Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by sayso: 10:34am On Nov 30, 2009
that stupid moderm must come down to 1k,after all it enables you access to their data switch which is what their sim card does for voice switch.
Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by Suntemi(m): 10:38am On Nov 30, 2009
But most phone no be 1k naw
Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by DualCore1: 10:44am On Nov 30, 2009
sayso what gives u access for both data and voice is ur sim. Not ur phone, not ur modem. Mtn doesnt care what u use, a modem, a phone, a jack, a sim to brain chip, a biro. Its not their problem and it never will be.

N8,500 is to purchase the modem
The charges are:- 30 days charge (24hrs/day) - N10,000 for 3G

O boy, all this guys wey dey 3g areas dey enjoy oo. Here in Minna, 3g is still a dream we're hoping will come soon. I have used the MTN Package of 3gig limit twice now and not one did i use up to 300MB finish before 1 month. The tin dey pain me seriously angry

What use is the data modem to me in a Non 3g area
Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by NnaNna4(m): 11:04am On Nov 30, 2009
febr dis year i rushed to pick a modem from mtn and they said 26k. As naija guy i drew back i just know it wil come down.

at another time i went to get situatn report in kad precisely i think they mentiond 16k.
I stil maintain. no wahala shebi cyber full everywhr.

At another time it came down to 12k

Now i m hearing 8.5k

The question is; why is d price rushing down like this in the same year?

well i will provide some clue.

othre netwks are beginning to compete seriously

just recently zoom finished their promo in wh they sold fr 10k with 90ays free access time.

And with narrival of Glo cable connection via water from uk, they ve been threatened to slash price.

I know by this time next year may be 2.5k
Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by toluxa1(m): 11:10am On Nov 30, 2009
i agree wink
Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by mrofficial(m): 11:15am On Nov 30, 2009
After all, the modem does not allow me to browse. Sh*t, you still have to load your sim.

MTN and marketing strategies . . . they are never the losers.

Na free?

It's better i buy the one that I will only make monthly payment, so i can download anything. Instead of buying 200MB 400MB.

guys please abeg, how fast does it play videos like does it buffer for long
Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by lynxnoon(m): 11:53am On Nov 30, 2009
on 3G speed it doesnt buffer for long. . . maybe secs wink
Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by texazzpete(m): 12:06pm On Nov 30, 2009
You Folks keep taking it up the arse with these 3g broadband providers. Data limits are the ultimate FAIL. I switched to Starcomms and routinely download 3gb in one day. As long as MTN et al have their puny data limits, they'll remain inferior to the evdo service providers. What Use is a fast Internet connection if you can't download stuff?

dragnet:

Wrong. . .d fact that its called a 3G modem doesnt mean its strictly 3G . . . It got both Edge and Gprs capabilities.. . . . So if there's no 3G it wuld automatically switch or u culd do it manually via d pc interface. . . .the speeds prof was refering to are Kilo[b]Bytes[/b]/s

I know


dragnet:

. . .the speeds prof was refering to are Kilo[b]Bytes[/b]/s

I see


dragnet:

[s]Your modem is only useful if you are in a 3G coverage area. [/s]

Don't get me wrong here. That expression is a metaphor, not the literal meaning. The meaning of this in this context is that your modem will be very slow if you are not in a 3G coverage area.

@Dragnet, this is exactly what I mean by that metaphor


toluxa1:

You can now see that the so called 3G modem is useless if you are not in a 3G coverage area.


Dual Core:

my n95 is over a year old, has streamed a total of about 670gig and is still alive and kicking. your modem activity on your phone didnt kill it, something else did.

If using multiple functions kill phones, mine should be dead now cuz as we speak i am using it as a webcam via mobiola, as a wireless hotspot via joikuspot and its connected to my home theatre via usb and ofcourse its charging.

@Dual Core, you are the bomb. My 11 months old N70 has streamed just 50GB and I feel I am over using it. That means I am just starting.  grin grin grin . I must stream 1TB on it before I consider buying a modem.  grin grin grin

Jeezzzzzzzzzzz!!! 3Gig in a day? Thats very cool. It aint bad atall. Can you help me download a 3Gig file on one day? Its a contract and I will pay for it.

Can you as well tell me more about the evdo service providers. How much do they charge per month? Thanks
Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by lynxnoon(m): 12:24pm On Nov 30, 2009

Its because of people like you that MTN has to put a data limit. Haba! 3GB in one day! What da f.uck are you downloading like that. They call it Fair Usage Policy. If you're downing 3gb in one day and i cant download 1GB in two months then that is unfair. After all, you'll download those stuffs, delete, download again, delete.  angry wink
