720p is enough na. Besides you can subscribe as many times as needed.

Then you'll just be burning your ego/kudi/owo, when you don't have to.

So many IPTV services to use.

You can say that again, mehn.

I've "graduated" to following real-world IPTV-user experiences on reddit; now hardly folow those limited, agenda-based youtube reviewers, lol.

makavele:
Then watch 720p.. or even 480p is still crystal clear !!
There's no difference; its the same action; same movie with you watching on 1080p

Of course there are huge differences, mehn; your rig has to be capable and appropriate, though. As in, you don't want to watch a 480p file on a 50-inch 1080p screen. That would be really inappropriate if you do, lol.

Lol. 3gb for heavy DLs? C’mon bro. I watch my series in 1080p. One episode is like 3gb

If you haven't already, always look for x.265 encoded equivalents; that should cut down file sizes by as much as 2/3rds or more in some cases, compared to x.264 for example, for the same picture quality, in either mp4 or mkv containers.

I get most of mine from iptorrents, and I use a seedbox. I previously depended on Usenet, which is arguably still the grandfather of them all.

BTW, you will be directed to first enter the card serial number, then you will be asked to enter the pin of the card replacing the numbers you can't see with *,. After entering the pin press #. Your line will be recharged.

LOL... Your banter aside, you're a typical lifesaver to some! Yours is a good, clarification post, otherwise I don't know how anyone would have understood what the OP was trying to say.

Well done.

I tried the 500 Naira Video streaming, I only watched Nigeria vs Argentina first half 30 minutes on YouTube live and till now it is no longer connecting.
Checked my balance and they showed me 165 minutes remaining to stream videos.
It is no longer connecting on YouTube.
Very bad.

Whoa... Thanks for this heads up, friend.

I can also testify the new Glo data packages are on. See attached screen shots.

(Glo is good on 4G in my area, like 98% of the time, in my estimation, so I keep using the service - either on its own, or in conjunction with my ntel unlimited data sub, which is less dependable.)

That can be considered normal behaviour. The koko is, is it browsing/passing data without a valid subscription? If so, enjoy it while it lasts.

Ndume is now having the last laugh, hehehe.

Following Ndume's reinstatement today by the court, and the court's description of his purported suspension by the Senate as irresponsible, unconstitutional, and null and void, Saraki and his henchmen will now better know the limits of their powers and brigandage over their colleagues in the chamber.

The Senate was lucky the judge refused Ndume's request for N500 million in compensation for the damages done to him by his colleagues. The judge cited as reason for the refusal, the hope that it would help in the process of reconciliation in the Senate.

Up next: Dogara, along with his own henchmen over in the House of Reps, should brace up for a possible similar judgement in favour of their own suspended whistle blower, Jubrin!

there's nothing wrong with anything other than ntel.



i've said it here before, ntel works great with youtube, no matter how bad the service is. even with the 60kbps i get, it does 480P youtube very well.

everything else is wack.



fun fact, this weekend i was able to lay my hands on another ntel sim. tested both from friday night till this morning

i loaded my own sim and tried both on the same hardware at home, same tarrif plan, the unlimited monthly.

my sim did not top 100kbps no matter what i tried

the other sim was getting 200 - 300 kbps, fluctuates sometimes to 1 Mbps. in the night the second sim consistently did 900kbps - 1.3mbps


at least i've been able to clear my doubts for sure now about my line

IIRC, your peculiar (no pun intended) ultra low speed on ntel has been there like forever? And that individual attention to you by ntel hadn't changed a thing? So, why would there be an appreciable improvement with another sim in your area? If I've somehow misunderstood your case however, I apologize.

The point, though, is that some of us have reported a newfound 10-13mbps consistency on ntel in our areas for the past three months, or so. Prior to that (in my own case,) ntel had a terrible, terrible service for like two months. I had to abandon ship while that terrible service lasted, and rely on Glo's 4G service. With ntel now good again in my crib, I've been rolling with that truly unlimited 10-13mbps.

Having said all that, I honestly think you quoted my message out of context. I was responding to a poster who reported a normal speed experience on a device, but got a less than stellar one on an Android box over the same network. I think that case was fundamentally different from yours.

Believe me, with some of these Android boxes, all it takes is to flip the box upside down and the performance of the WiFi card can improve significantly.

Nevertheless, we all live and learn.

Once again, I sincerely hope ntel works for you somehow, especially if there are no other cost-effective options you can latch on; but I know I don't have to doubt your awareness.

Update on Ntel: As earlier stated Ntel streams youtube flawlessly, but after connecting to my Android box, I can even get 1min viewing time on mobdro or Kodi. Utterly annoying to say the least.
Had to switch back to spectranet to enjoy my matches.
Ntel thanks for the free data but ur network sucks.....

I do not experience such a discrepancy. Unless you're able to prove or determine otherwise, the WiFi card/dongle used by your Android box may be the problem/culprit, so you may want to ascertain that bit?

The lower the dB value is, the stronger and better quality the signal. Full bars normally correspond to -40dB or less.

@EruditorII;

EruditorII:
Nobody is contending that the Tenders board should make decisions on contract approvals. The bone of contention is whether the Minister of State should be excluded from such decisions. The answer is no simply because - in Kachikwu's case - he is the one that oversees the daily activities of that ministry not PMB.

Another lawyer, Jiti Ogunye made the same claim stating that Kachikwu as the Minister of state was also appointed the chairman of the NNPC board which also oversees the plans of the NNPC and the Tenders board by extension.

There is no justification for sidelining Kachikwu on any technicalities except one is pandering to the mischievous whims of the current GMD. In fact, any rule that allows Baru to unilaterally make decisions under his office as the chairman of the Tenders board, also lets him to by pass the substantive Minister of Petroleum resources. That fact is clear.

Anyways, I expect PMB to make a decision on the matter soon then we would know if he approved of Baru's antics.

The way you stylishly weave unrelated things at every turn in this debate, is really baffling, TBH. Again, neither the NNPC Board not it's Chairman has any direct control on the NNPC Tenders' Board! Haba.

And, seems you're hell-bent on giving Kachikwu all the powers he does not possess; otherwise, why would you start characterizing lawful and proper governance steps taken by Baru as "antics?"

My people, aside from all these back and forth though, to me the most damaging aspect of Kachikwu's letter, is the way he's now given undeserved ammunition to social media misfits to keep singing, "$26bn contracts awarded by Baru under Buhari without due process," or, "$26bn missing under Buhari," and so on, when, in fact, no such contracts exist, no such money has been stolen or misappropriated, and due process was followed all the way with respect to actions already taken/contracts already signed.

Unfortunately, those misinformation and propaganda are still being "visuvella'd" upandan, and possibly scaring away less informed investors. And to think that such things don't get easily erased from the minds and narratives of the gullible? Chai.

Kachikwu misfired big time on this one; he might have in fact unwittingly harmed the government of his benefactor already, just because of his now glaringly limited knowledge and poor understanding of a parastatal over which he himself (Kachikwu) was once installed as GMD.

Playing the victim at every turn is simply the nature of some people, even if they'd bring down the house while doing so. Kachikwu should simply back off this matter, as he's now appearing to do, and should in fact tender an un-reserved apology to at least his principal employer. I believe he can still be useful in the present dispensation. Today, he's already advocating that the power of the minister should in fact be wittled down/reduced, so as to allow parastatals such as the NNPC to do their work more effectively.

There we go. 'Nuf said.

If you are looking for low cost, high quality, reliable cable alternative, this IPTV service is for you... The best low cost cable alternative!...
I have test trial if you want to check it out
This is cheaper than DSTV and TSTV.

Which service is this? Please give a full disclosure so one can check with other reviewers/users.

And, other than a more complete channels lineup, have you factored in the additional spend on data that's required before saying the service you resell is cheaper than DS/TSTV all-in? (I'll suggest you factor in, say, ₦10-18k/month for unlimited, 24/7, 10-20mbps data spend for those amongst us lucky to have access to such data services, then please revert.)

Swift ng is definitely better here in Ajah

Thanks for sharing this buyer-beware, real world experience with tizeti.

1. What download speeds are you able to get on a consistent basis?

2. What's your observed average ping time?

3. Is the service up solid for like 95% of the time in any 24/7 cycle?

(These three attributes together can usually give one a pretty good idea of the quality of a service, IMO.)

Thanks in advance for your response.

CeterisXVII:
Whether it took Baru 1 day, 1 week or 1 month to come up with a response is not the issue. The main issue is "did his response address the issues raised against him in Kachikwu's memo?" My submission is that it did, and those responses even made Kachikwu end up with egg on his face. Even the explanation Baru gave shows how each step was followed, as well as how the financing and approvals for the contracts were obtained. If Kachikwu had gone through the processes deployed in awarding each contract and found flaws in them, he would have had a better case. Kachikwu needs to manage his staff better, and drop his ego.

Afterall, the things Baru did as GMD NNPC, were the same things Kachikwu did when he was also GMD. The same way contracts were approved at GMD level, was the same way it was done when Kachikwu was still GMD NNPC. The same powers Kachikwu had as GMD NNPC when he was still there, are the same powers Baru has now chosen to exercise, in his new role as GMD. If you notice, most of the approvals came from Buhari in his capacity as substantive Petroleum Minister, President and Head of FEC. Kachikwu ironically was part of the same FEC that approved some of those contracts, so how can he now turn round to say he knows nothing about it?

After becoming Minister of State, Kachikwu felt some of his powers had been taken away, and so he drafted that memo. The truth is that the NNPC Act does not grant any substantial powers to the Minister-Of-State. And that is what now needs to be addressed. Please learn to be more polite, when engaging others. There was absolutely no need to use the word 'trash!'

Brilliant.

yakbauer:
We expected this official reply, which isn't far from the top insider's report on same issue, one thing which could've been prevented from the onset was making these two work together.
This was a colossal mistake, when Kachikwu was GMD he deliberately sidelined Baru, posting him as a high level NNPC personnel to redundant positions, and even recommending his early retirement alongside some other top NNPC officials, so when Baru made it to find it is only logical to take him to a totally different ministry to head, because if there's anything one has learnt from civil servants is "never mess with the politics of civil service".
Because Baru will definitely use every rule in the book to see that he sidelines Baru, all this at the expense of 180 million ppl.

Whoa...

If the NNPC politics between Kachikwu and Baru as you've stated here are true, even if half true, then this opens a whole new dimension to the personalities of the two main actors, especially Kachikwu.

Thanks for posting.

...and counting...

Dear Nairalanders;

I can't remember when this axis ever had public electric power supply issue this bad! The most that is now supplied is for anything between five minutes to one hour once in like three days!

And, the fact that power comes on sporadically, even if fleetingly like that, to me shows that the severe outages are most probably not due to DISCO equipment malfunction. Still, amidst all of this, there has been no public statement or communication from the concerned DISCO to we end users that I'm aware of.

Before this wàhálà started, the axis was getting about 16 hours per day of mostly clean and steady power supplies.

Anyones also experiencing this problem?

If anyone has a relevant goto experience, link, officials or phone numbers through which this type of issues in this particular area could be solved, kindly share.

Thanks, All.

SacBag:
Mr, does this in anyway affect download speed? I'd like to know the overall implication of a lesser ping time if you'll be so kind as to explain. Thank you

Ping time does not have any effect on attainable download speeds.

The lower ping is, however, the easier it is to receive live content without buffering. Examples of live contents are: real time TV broadcasts, and playing games over a network.

Hope that helps a bit.
