The fibre optic internet service is deployed to your location by way of cables, kinda like how NITEL of those days used to run cables to our homes and offices. FibreOne (my ISP) services particular locations in Lagos at the moment. You will need to contact them to know if they're in your area (if you live in Lagos).

Once deployed, you get a modem (as seen in the attachment) which doubles as your WIFI router to wirelessly connect your devices to the internet. Note that the modem you'd get might be different from the one in the attachment. Mine is 5 years old and I know for sure there are newer models deployed.

Right now in Lagos, companies that offer fibre optic internet service that I know include FibreOne, Tizeti (wifi.com.ng) and BroadBased Communications ltd. FibreOne which I use offers truly unlimited internet service with no data caps like you have with your regular telcos. It's play online till you're tired. I use mine for all my internet needs as well as television needs by way of IPTV and other video streaming apps all for ₦10,800/month (soon to be ₦11,450 from April 1, 2021).

Reach me via email on cypresshillaca2020@gmail.com and I'd be more than willing to answer any questions you may have. Cheers

Would have love to test these FibreOne ISP but they cover only 3% of Lagos

CypressHill2020:


Once you taste the unlimited internet access, other telco offerings look like sh*t to you. The interesting part is the fact that I haven't had cause to subscribe to DSTv or any other local paytv operator in like 5 years. It's been bliss thanks to IPTV.

georgee:

My ISP is Teltwine and they are fantastic too.. Haven't used DSTV since July 2018
I am full fleshed IPTV user

zone51:


Yes TSTV is in operation

CaptainFM1:


I've discarded DSTV for IPTV since July 2020, and it's the best thing that ever happened to me.
Funny enough, I got all the so called premium channels DSTV offers including SuperSports 3 at peanut price.

TO HELL WITH DSTV. May thunder strike all their satellites, dishes and stations.

Your location matters. Get an Android TV box and say bye bye to DSTV

Glo is very effective in my area and extremely economical. May I never subscribe to DSTV in my life again.

With data, I get all their so called premium channels including all the SuperSports channels (1 to 10), CNN and BBC.

Data is Bae. Data is life.

Just find which network is suitable for your location. For me, Glo is cheap and very fast in my area. I don't even get to finish my monthly N15k subscription even though I watch TV as I like.

With data you have access to anything you want to watch anytime, anywhere.

Mustack:


Pls which IPTV did you get. Someone recommend me this one Mecool KM6 Deluxe.

Mustack:


Pls what the overall price of this package I beg

CaptainFM1:


"X 88 Pro 10" But they all do the same. I can't say which is better, cos I never tried others.

pierrenwob:


They are not all the same. Whatever TV Box you buy should be Google Certified if you really want to enjoy it. The Meecool TV Box is Google Certified.

CaptainFM1:


You must understand that there are several operating systems. What I meant by they are all the same is in the basic function - IPTV (Watching TV via the internet). They basically will all do that certified or not.

I have my reasons for recommending that one.
If by tomorrow goggle block access of some of these illegal apps, you just may be able to download apk on other systems that are not Google certified.

I have mecool as well and it skips a lot. Ever since I've been using x-88 pro, I don't have such issue.

And if you really want to go the way of "they are not all the same thing"
You should be talking of the likes Nvidia shield Pro, Xiaomi box S, Amazon Fire Stick, Roku ultra and the likes. Those are the real machines. But they are quite expensive. So I know why I recommend that cos I've tried few of these cheap boxes including mecool.

I followed this thread from page 1, yet no one explain in concise terms what an IPTV is and how it works across all TVs and devices. Here I will explain to the best of my ability.

IPTV is not an app. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) refers to applications that enable you watch contents streamed from the internet. Examples of IPTV apps are Netflix, Showmax, Mobdro TV, etc.

To switch to IPTV, you will need a Smart TV or an Android box; a device like decoder that can be connected to your non-smart tv. It has memory like phones and it works like an Android phone. You can download and install apps from Google play store in it.

There are tons of free and paid IPTV apps. You can download and install many of the FREE ones on android box unlike on Non-android Smart TV like Samsung appstore for Samsung Smart TVs.

Is it cheaper? Cobranet has coverage all over Lagos. Would you be still needing the service and an IPTV? call or sms 08079292297 Paul
Cheap here is relative. I will use myself as an example. I have a Samsung smart tv, Spectranet router modem, netflix account and DSTV decoder. I do the family or Yanga plan depending on the month. I use Spectranet because it is fast in my area. I subscribe to the 10.2k plan monthly. I do Netflix some months and only watch between the hour of 1am to 8am because Spectranet data cap is unlimited between those hours. Cobranet, IPNX and co don't have coverage in my area so I can't do any fibre optic data subscription.

DSTV is cheaper for me and IPTV will cost way more to me if I were to switch. But for someone whose location has good fibre optic coverage and who's doing DSTV premium, switching to IPTV on android box or Android Smart TV and subscribing to a fibre optic plan below 15k will be cheaper.

I have not used DSTV in 16 month. I wish I can sell my DSTV Explorer. It is just occupying space. The only thing you can do with dstv is watch their mostly outdated TV shows.

My FibreOne Unlimited Internet subscription is just NGN 10,800. I use between 400gig and 700gig of data per month. It is data buffet.

If you know, you know.

“With this discount, we are lowering the entry barrier for new customers to get a DStv or GOtv decoder as staying connected to credible information and another quality programming can be comforting for many families during these trying times,” said Mabutho.

Mabutho also listed some of the company’s relief strategies deployed during the first wave of the pandemic which includes cash donations of N200 million and N50 million to the Federal Government and Lagos State Government respectively, N400 million to the creative industry, whose professionals experienced disruptions in productions; donation of 30,000 Personal Protective Equipment and 30,000 face masks to hospitals and Non-Governmental Organisations as well as an approved inventory worth over N550m highlighting NCDC’s COVID-19 helplines and PSA materials on over 10 channels on DStv and GOtv.

“In addition to the discount we are currently running our DStv Step-Up offer which gives our customers on lower packages an opportunity to experience programming on higher packages, and a GOtv Max offer which sees customers on Jolli and Jinja enjoy a special discount of N2,999 instead of N3,600 per month,” Mabutho added.

The discounted DStv and GOtv bundle offer will be available from Monday, February 1st 2021 for a limited time only.
