GloriousGbola:




so this is the thing - and this is why i said you may nit have EXHAUSTIVELY reviewed the ISPs plans. swift has unlimited plans, and unlimited night browsing plans

by that i mean - the unlimited night browsing plan is a capped plan in which your night browsing is not measured. it is different from the unlimited lans - i know this because i have tried them in the past, and the max speed i got was 300kb/s.

so if i am using a swift free night browsing plan - from 11pm to 8 am my downloads are measured as part oif my subscription, and the speed is not throttled. this is actually why i switched back to swift. i started with swift years ago, moved to spectranet which is cheaper, but spectranets free night browsimng plan was DELIBERATELY difficult - it was between 1 am and 7am. this meant that even with setting up dopwnloads etal al, i would usually have to wake up at one am to be absolutely sure my downloads were running. then , out of the blue they starterd throttling - and that was when i went back to swift



the other reason why i opted for an oem router is because most of these huawei and zte routers, in addition to being locked to a network, have poor management features. i wanted a device that would let me block some websites from source, track exactly who is abusing the netwrok in the house , maybe even impose limits on users. these MNO routers, the last time i checked are limited on these features.



zoom, teams, google meeet all have ow bandwith settings under preferences. you can set your video to SD rather than HD.

if you really want to know EXACTLY where your data is going, install glasswire. you will immediately see which apps are eating data and you can regulate them accordingly. you cam also install on every pc in the house. in addition to this, you can track users internet usuage on a lae model TP link router. i will however advise that if you plan on buying a tplink, buy from abroad or from a fairly reliable seller. i keep hearing there is nothing under the sun in nigeria with regards to dodgy/refurb/firmware modified items.



glo is fairly reliable as a telco, but as an ISP . . .

the issues are nmot limited to my home, they are literrally everywhere. it is so bad that as i said, if for instance i am going to kano, i immediately switch to MTN for data. Glo is really weird because it just has multiple dead spots. there is a hospital in my area. once you go to a point in the hospital, glo simply stops, but MTN works fine. and the start stop of glo is really really terrible.

Seen,

this is a placeholder comment, to be updated when I can find sometime to respond to the issues you raised.

The real question - what is the speed and is it sustainable?

Though they will always tell you it is as a Sales matter

In 2020,i got tired of swifts continued increase every three months so I tried tizeti. They made all the story. Very fast very reliable etc.

I paid 50k for equipment and one month data plan.
Speed was 300kb/s.


Phone call, discussion etc. No resolution.

But the real kicker which completely turned me off them - I could not access the router they provided.

Their customer care basically said well, if you want to change WiFi name and password, you will have to call us.

After 3 days I just returned to swift.

Then after two months they started calling claiming that the equipment was theirs and I would have to return it.

That was when I blocked them.

Useless ISP

Shebi it’s to screw standards and just do cash and use whatever they have in stock.

This option is only for those who wish to live long

While at it, avoid being a surety/guarantor for anyone. You will end up being dragged like a Tiger generator.

It’s refreshing having doors and it has changed the dynamics in terms of livability of the house.

Let me find out for you.

Will update this post when I do.

mtn hynet good for me at the moment 18k for 100gb monthly..

EgunMogaji2:


Thanks. I'm spending too much on data.

to er reiterate - i think the ISPs smile, swift spectranet and co are a better deal for data [then mtn and co] and they are in ibadan

ironically glo is has the best gb/naira, but unless you are in the right area, the service is shit.

i also think you should order a proper modem - tplink and not all these huawei/zte that are bundled with the data plans

a late model tplink modem has far better management features and you can find out for instance who or what is eating your data.

one time, after i had blocked most of the loopholes, my son started streaming videos on the tv. modem traffic management busted him sharp sharp, and now tv is blocked unless i want to update the os [hoping an os update will eventually make the HDR work properly]

every once in a while i find strange devices on my network and i blacklist them

EgunMogaji2:


Thanks. I'm spending too much on data.

You can check out I-World Networks. It's unlimited and more stable than the MTN and co, at least in my area here in ib.

Their service is similar to that of tizetti. I use it for work and streaming with multiple devices connected. It's about 52k quarterly for the 2MBps plan. Installation is more expensive. But it's another choice to consider.

The last time you posted the second picture here, I was tempted to ask you a question but, somehow decided not to but, since you've posted it again, I can't help but ask. Is there any reason why you had that door open into a walkway?

1) That’s the only logical way it can open because there’s another door directly in there that opens into the pantry.

2) If it opens inward it’ll hit the fridge.

3) It was supposed to be a pocket door in the original design.

All in all it works fine because it’s not a high traffic house.

Thanks.

Chei, they have frustrated Balogun of Ibadan.

Sir, I was planning on coming for tutorials on how to deal with an average Nigerian from you, but now you have destroyed my hope

EgunMogaji2:


Something happened to this country after 1990.

I find myself slowing down a lot and not as gang-ho on things.

My fully furnished 2 bedroom BQ has been sitting idle since January. I don’t want the palava of a tenant in my private residence. You read of schemes to delay rent payment to landlord using legal tactics.

I’ll stay here but will always travel out on vacation twice a year to reset.

Advice to people thinking of coming home, please stay for 3 months on various occasions not the typical two weeks vacation in order to gauge the temperature.

I have two cases going on currently. One is in court and the other is a letter of undertaking in police station. I’m the plaintiff on both.

Most people in Nigeria always look at diasporans as soft target. So it requires dealing with them tenaciously. However I didn’t come to Nigeria to do that. Mi o le je ki weyrey kan lo add si high blood pressure mi.

So I’ll mostly keep my money in a bank, go to joints eat point and kill and join in abusing the government.

They think they’re doing me

I have also talked to myself to put a stop to anything investment in Nigeria.

I don suffer small Sha in the hands of Nigerians (in various investments).

This country can never be organised as we're too far gone. Unfortunately we'll just have to learn to exist within the reality where we found each other.

Only the military can bring a resemblance of order to this country and they too have their own issues. We're simply ungovernable yet. We were not ready for independence. The British handed Ferrari car keys to Marwa drivers.
