I have the MTN mifi Huawei E5573. Unlocked it at Computer Village Ikeja for 2k

I have also have a ZTE unlocked Mifi chairman.

Please enlighten me, what is the difference between both of them?

Wawu sim, is their bonus giving sim card..

Sent my brother to get the ntel Sim and they've been giving excuses of no network since last week so he's been unable to even get me the Sim.

MTN? Lol, thought they were the worst at browsing.

greenhulk:


When it works its fast. At least with unlimited data I can easily stream Youtube @480p with no problems, sometimes even at 720p. Downloading is decent, no complains. And Netflix works just fine with no buffer at good quality. But no network comes close to MTN when it comes to raw speed. That thing streams Netflix at freaking 1080p or even 4k. Watched 1 episode of El Chapo with MTN at 4k quality.. but na my data suffer am sha.

Wawu sim is their promo sim, 1k for 1gb plus free 12gb, 2k gives u 24gb I think.

The classic sim doesn't have such bonus but u can enjoy unlimited data for 17k5 1 month or 3,750 for 1 week. The wawu sim is promo so they can decide to end it anytime. Also its a way Ntel attracts more subscribers which unfortunately have messed up their network and now they have thousands of subscribers that have paid for data but data not activated. The funny thing is some people are saying give them time because they feel its cheap. yes 1k for 12gb is cheap, but what of us that pay 17k5 for 1 month? If this was MTN I know what a lot of nairalanders would be saying right now.

Yelutide:
ntel is not dead. waxing valiantly in Lagos, PHC and Abuja. My advice, dump the sim and get another reliable network sim stable and fast in your location

He is right about zapping of data, in fact the data usage on my phone with the data I get doesn't tally.
Disconnection is now a normal thing and their site is always down.

12gb for 1k? I think they are still okay.

Really? Wow...

That means they're just crap because if they were really trying to get customers they would ensure that there is customer satisfaction.

Still think I'll give them a try tho, cuz who else offers such cheap prices.

NTEL has become useless. I have been using it for more than a year, the service is going from bad to worse. I pay for the unlimited bundle monthly - 17,600 via quickteller. Its either u are browsing at a speed of 0.6MBps or network disappears for 2, 3days.

Customer service has gradually move from high to lowest, no reply on social media channels, etc. I'm feedup already, gone are the good old days. Anyway I will be porting to NGCom next month.

All the best to people that wants to remain with NTEL. The truth is that NTEL is dying, an investor is needed for its to survive.

Some people won't still get it no matter how much you explain to them @greenhulk.

Two weeks ago i saw so many complains of data activation problem and i was like its a lie ntel is the best, i have never had such problems. Not until it got to my turn to subscribe, i decided to try the #500. I used quick teller, recharge went through, data activation kept saying error, waited 24hours my #500 still looking at me same error on data activation. I called them, waited and waited, it took more than 10mins before they picked. After running a check on my sim, all i was told was to wait 24hours again for them to send the problem to the proper department for resolving. 24hours passed, called again and it took forever for them to pick. I left them. Two weeks after i got a message that my plan has been activated (Two weeks). Assuming i did a bigger sub of #3750 or more that's how my money will be left hanging.

A friend i introduced ntel to called me yesterday saying his recharge was successful but unable to activate a bundle since two days now.

Why can't ntel deactivate the payment platform and fix their problems first instead of allowing people's money get stuck without being able to convert it to MB. Go to Facebook and see people's complain of over 3 weeks not being able to activate a data plan.

greenhulk:


Count urself lucky because I also used Quickteller and its been 6 days now same story even after several calls. I've been forced to go and dig out my spectranet modem.

That's very pathetic. They are very unreliable, no network for more than 6hours now. I'm presently using mobile data

Honestly greed took the better part of ntel with that WAWU sim. Ntel was stable enough prior to the promo but since then I have always experienced one problem or another. My switch to qucikteller was because I wasn't credited instantly through their website and network disappears at random for hours and sometimes days

My last sub was the worst, I would have dumped it if not for the unlimited attached it and being a frequent streamer rather than downloading.

For more than 6 hours now, network has disappeared and I'm back to mobile data. It's Sunday, I can't enjoy my streaming Netflix or Kodi. Just imagine

Exactly. Like a Yoruba adage says 'eni ba lo mo'. U won't understand other people's pains until it happens to u. This is for those people saying which other ISP gives 12gb for 1k? So because of that people should wait 3 weeks for activation of data.. its freaking absurd. And the funny thing is its even affecting people that pay 17k5 for 1 month.

davidoisamoje:
So for the past weeks, ntel have been having a lot of issues ranging from:

1. Unable to sub
2. Zapping of data
3. Slow network ( can't download fast )
4. Network disconnection
5. Lot of signals for days etc.

With all this above and more, their customer care ( customer nightmare ) will keep giving you 1 same reply! If you want to try for your self, call them in the morning b4 9 am and they will tell you " before 12 pm today " call after 12 pm you get something like " in 24hours it will be resolved "

What do you think is the best step to make/take, to save our self this trouble and to avoid late delivery of works done!

I also us ntel it realy slow day time buh can watch video online wit no issue and very fast at nite hrz downlodin 2mb/s.

Just checked my balance, it really does appear they are data zapping.

NTEL ran a promo for WAWU sim which gives you 12gig for 1k and am presently rocking the sub
Though their website is unstable and unreliable but i enjoy their network at home and work
I wonder who runs that place cuz its a sleeping giant
NTEL can conveniently give more than what they are presently doing
And talk about the staff, you feel sorry for these guys cuz they can come for work on a monday to find the network down for next 5 days!
Whoever is in charge of NTEL is not biz minded and comfortable staying afloat

ogtavia:
NTEL has been the best internet service provider to me in a long while. Probably the problem is from your end.

pls where can I get this Ntel Sim and how does it work? I use MTN and it's taking too much from me. I recharge almost every 2 weeks.

Is there a modem? my phone is a single Sim and there's no place to put the Ntel Sim

Too many customers subscribing every day. They really need to expand their scope. Though i dnt have any issue with their network here in PH

post=69271147:


I'm in lag so I know what I'm saying! B4 their problems, it was fast and good so I really don't get your point.
You are saying the network is "waxing valiantly" yet you say at the end of ur post get another network. It makes no sense. By the way, I won't be online if I have not moved on to Etisalat.

obojememe:
been to their alaba office over five times to purchase a sim card it’s always no network for registration story all the time...i gave up on them already anyway

Don’t give up

Their website server they use for that registration is bleeped up. I went there about 3 times before I was able to register my sim


Now am enjoying it


The 48gb data that I subscribed since July 1st, I’ve been unable to finish it till now even with my heavy usage. I still have over 17gb left


You’ll enjoy it, trust me

greenhulk:


18k. But I'd prefer N12,500 for 40gb plus free unlimited between 1-7am

My bro, if this is on spectranet , I don’t mind. Can I get their SIM card and use it on my ntel mifi or I’d need to buy another mifi ?

Thanks for your help bro.

I don't think they sell only sim card but u can check their office and make inquiry. Normally u have to get the sim with their modem and a plan.

davour:
we do use ntel network in our office around calus miller in pH, through out last week up till now, thier network have been so bleeped... we even went to their office the one close to 2nd artillery near happy bite and also to the one close to shell gate and funny enough they have having d same network problem, but the annoying part is that they were selling their sim card and were trying to register new customers ... I was like this guys are not serious ... their customer will not pick their call, if u call their agent , they will say d fault is from Lagos, we had no option than to change to sepractnet, they are not as fast as ntel but they are still OK

If I narrate my encounter eh. My neighbors at my Shop plaza were bragging about it. Na so i carry myself go their shell gate office, got sim and registered. The lady there assured me the line would be activated within 48hrs. Na so i dey, 2 days passed yet the sim wasn't working. I then went to their attilery office, that was when d guy there said the ntel sim for 4g data plan selects phones. That it doesn't at work on iPhones, gionee m6 (which i use) and some other devices. Before then i had already bought airtime of 1000 naira to subscribe. I had to drop the sim with the lady there to sell it and refund me my 1k.Their boss came and started pitching 18000 naira mifi to me to buy since the sim doesn't work on my M6. What do i need that for? Their service is very poor. Never have i heard it anywhere that a sim card selects phones it works on!

greenhulk:
My Ntel still works. I subscribed online on Monday and within 45 mins it started working. I think most people having problems are those using the wawu sim. I use the classic sim, unlimited and it still works.

But that is not denying that they always have this issue whereby u subscribe online and it takes forever for ur airtime to turn to data.

how much do you subscribe for on the classic sim for(data/cost)

how much did you buy your sim

renewa29:
I recharged online with the Wawu sim so I do not see a reason to panic.

please how much is the subscription

greenhulk:

I think it's free, u just have to buy a plan

you aren't sure, but you bought it na?
how much is the plan

jidxin:
1k for 12 gb

1k for 12gb! I guess NCC policy to protect New Entrants doesn't apply to them.

generationz:

I got my sim about a year ago and that was when Ntel was still Ntel not now that they have ruined everything with their promo sim. The classic sim doesn't cost anything, u just pay for a plan and get the sim. 1k5 for 2 days unlimited, 3,750 for 1 week unlimited, 17k5 for 1 month unlimited. That's how we roll on ntel before the stewpid wawu sim came out and ruined everything and now to subscribe na war.

NCC will be romancing all dis scamming Network. All of them are milking poor masses

Who says Ntel is dead? It's currently the best and cheapest network in Nigeria especially if you are using a Wawu SIM.

Resubbed this morning without stress.
