could'nt ave put it beta myself

I wont agree with you that swift networks is not good, I have been using swift networks for the past six months and it happened to be the fastest i have seen. I have the largest customer base in my area but if you want to use swift you must go for dedicated service for a cafe so that you can enjoy it. I rate them very very very high

Whatever the ISP you decide to use, do not get any close to DirectonPC, ask any of their customers, they all have ugly stories to tell. Once you subscribe to any ISP, it becomes almost impossible to change another because of hardware incompability.

Hi all.
Wat an exciting time with experience and the d experienced ! @ chikezie wat is the geography of lagos dat u cover? cos as far as i know u only cover VI,SURULERE (barely),APAPA(barely too),IKEJA (ever fluctuating) and maybe lekki, cos ur head office is arnd there.Of late i think netcom has gotten it so so wrong or rather dem don change business cos me i no dey see ur network in ma house in surulere oh!
Am sure netcom can be beta but for now dem dey on break

has anybody tried cobranet? they are making bold claims of 256kbps. I asked their sales rep and she claimed they do not get their service via sat-3 but from some german satellite company. An not holding my breath though.

Don't use IPNX ever! they just robbed my friend. He after some 3 weeks of absolutely no service was asked to pay for the new month's subscription and after he paid, 9 days later he got disconnected by IPNX who said that he had exceeded his data cap in just 9 days (how ridiculous).

These guys are thieves if you want to get robbed, loose your customers, then use IPNX.

Any Dial-up is no good, no matter how it was "painted" , I mean like  "broadband dial-up" etc, dial-up is dial-up. Then we need to know that ISPs "deceived" people about the speed. Some will advertised 2.4mbps speed, that  "b" is not usually byte but bits in most cases, hence you need to divide by 8 to actually get the real speed. So 2.4mbps speed becomes 300KByte/s. So, when ur ISP says dem go give you 800kbps speed dont be surprised to see less than 100KB/s

Guys, the truth is that Nigeria and Nigerians are not well informed when it comes t internet by VSAT. If you're saying that DOPC is the best, then that means you've not started. have you heard about Gilat Satcom?

Their Ku works with rain (Sounds unbelievable), but it's TRUE.

For more info, send e-mail to kelsimeon@gmail.com

it dosent sound unbelievable,its just not true. Abeg dont allow ppl tell u stuff dat dont make sense here.even if he works during rain am sure its a shower ure reefering to cos the frequency with which KU is designed is bound to be affected by weather changes not just rain ma broda.
Gilat ko gilat Ni

Tunde300us,

It works during rain. I understand your arguemment about Ku Frequency. Have you heard about ACM? It is being implemented by smart ISPs now. It may not work well, like C-band (will not work like C-band) during rain, but it works. Believe me.

Kelechi

Yes i know ACM but i didnt know that GILAT modems now come with them except unless its new,but even with ur ACM am sure wen u see better rain u wont see anytin again.I know hughes modems,idirect but not IRG modems dey use ACM

Anybody with a idea of a better isp i can use in abeokuta should please post it or contact me mojid22000@yahoo.ca or 08032171496. The speed of any isp also depend on your location

Tunde300us,

Looks like you know it all. But ACM feature will not work with any modem that has the capability, if it has not been implemented at the hub end!
But like you know, Ku na Ku! only that some ISPs Ku VSAT internet is getting better thats all i'm trying to say.

ISPs?? we have no credible ones in naija. However this is my opinion on internet companies ,

I think MTN 3G offers the best deal for someone like me

- 3GB allowance
- 24hr service
- 24000 naira for stick
- 10000 naira per month

The only downside is everyone sharing one laptop and need to install mtn software.

Looking at the price plans for Ipnx and others ,  I think i will stick with mtn ,  for now ,  maybe check out glo as well.

ACM is just a compression mechanism and i am not against it,what i dont like is people trying to rebrand an ISP's product and giving it out to others as Nigeria is being forced down our throat.
@druss u can share MTN stick if ure a good network person,but i dont know how u want to manage 3Gig among others without not running out of allocated bandwidth

I can recommend IPnx where you can get their coverage. They seem to be the most stable ISP i have ever had anything to deal with. Wish you luck. Shalom.

@drux, pls contact me on brenwilliam@gmail.com. need important info from you

well @ all and guess of Nairaland!

These Indians are ripping us off.
I subscribbed to DOPC UNWIRED. After paying N12,000 for the modem, N10,000 for one month subscription and N2,000 for the configuration, I ended up with a download speed of less than 30kbps. Can you imagine a 30kbps Broadband?
Does anybody know any Chinese affiliated ISP in Nigeria?

Can u please advice me on isp providers that can support over 20 system and still work very fast. Am not looking for cheap ones that i will regret later.

@ bawana44 based on your post you want to use a full T1 connection. Use the Adtran 908 as your gateway. Based on your needs use have space for two to four phone connections on the T1 connection. The Adtran will output the phone lines to a 66 block.



A old computer running linux will make a faster filewall than most cisco routers. I recommend a system called smoothwall. My old 550mhz computer is a much faster router than the cisco 877w router.

Hi bawana, u can mail me so that we can talk or chat.I can recommend something reasonable to you. tunde300us@gmail.com

im is awka, pls can somone recommend a good ISP. im currently using Starcomms and the speed doesnt pass 15kb/sec

It all depends on what u want. We can offer KU band and C band Vsat at good prices and quality service. call 07030106698 or send an email to ikemefuna@hyperia.com for a formal quote.

do you know what it will take to setup cafe business with a very fast network?

If you are in Abuja, You can try this new company. Vermark GS. They are located in @ Omega Center off Aminu Kano Crescent. 09 870 1420, 09 870 1421, 09 870 1422.  To get good service, you have to pay for it.  There residential packages starts @ N45k  for 256kbps  and there small business package starts @ N85k. You get what you pay for.  I know Ethiopian airlines uses them, lots of clients at the CBN quarters in APO, National Assembly. There website: www.vermarkng.com
