Whats up with starcomms?! since friday 16th april the service has been horrid! the link connects but browsing is so slow or it dosent browse at all! IS THIS THE END OF A GREAT ROMANCE WITH STARCOMMS??

yeah right, i use starcomms, and the connection times out every now and then, even to chat sef na wahala, upload site wahala

Where do we go from here? Multilinks is bad , starcomms is bad, mtn is bad, zain is bad, glo no way. Everyone one them as one problem or the other.

NA WA O! In fairness to them they've been outstanding! never really down (just occasionally) and the outage usually doesnt last for mor than an hour. I hope they havent actually joined the bandwagon "Mass Marketing and No Service delivery" cause i cant just imagine who to try next!

You guys are right however, from many of my clients' experiences in the hands of MTN, Zain so called 3G fast internet (which they acquired without consulting me). I recommended and got them Starcomms which they have been using with little complaint. I think it depends on (1) on their server administration (especially the RADIUS servers) when trying to see that some bad eggs are not perpetrating fraud, (2) server upgrades to accomodate more subscribers (and I must be sincere, deploying new network servers can turn problematic at times), and (4-last but not the least) their uplink internet providers (I mean the saterlite uplink) which can (though rarely) develop issues.
All in all, I still find starcomms the better as I could comfortably use it on my wired and wireless networks. I strongly believe a word or two dropped at their website could let them know that while we understand their efforts, these hitches are there.

i think multilinks is quite stable now, though they were eratic some noths ago. i ve been using it for the past one month. Hope they will keep it stable.

HURAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY, MY BELOVED STARCOMMS IS BACK AND KICKING! Phew!!! that was a close one already worrying bout being forced to buy one of those horrid modems that crap your time and gobble ur dough!

I hope we are talking about EVDO not 1X?

@webgenius, the truth is ur EVDO coverage is really quite poor, i actually have both a izap evdo device and a 1x device and ive noticed the speed is almost the same, when i checked there coverage on there flyers apparantely there was no izap coverage in my area and there selling the device in that area! Any way i the plan i subscribe to is the same cost for izap & evdo so am not really mad yet, cause even the ix speed allows me to download all my heart desire!

Webfx,You need to have a large heart. 1X and EVDO are incomparable. EVDO is miles faster and better, though more expensive. If you have to download large files, then you will appreciate the difference. You may want to check if other networks with broadband have coverage in your area eg Zoom (ZOOMBLAST), which IMO is the best at the moment.
I think 1X should be banned in Nigeria, absolute waste of good money. Broadband for ever!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was just peculiar to me.My browsing experience yesterday was totally horrid,had to abandon my PC.

same here i could no even open 3 Nland pages at the same time. i jus VEX go play my xbox. as i post iam using my beloved opera min

Its unfortunate that Starcomms is like this.In Port Harcourt, Starcomms network is frustrating and disappointing.They use to be the best but now they are the worst.
