Yeah just a bit, the constant drop offs seem to have lessened considerably but still occurs. What I still hate is the increased ping times. I used to get ping times of around 120-150ms now you get over 200ms ping times, it sucks for gaming and streaming.

I used to have to battle with humongous ping times, especially when ntel was used exclusively via a E5372. I then remembered that, in some cases/with some areas, the DNS used could make a huge difference.

With the aid of the "DNS Benchmark" tool (PC,) I figured out the fastest ones for my current spot on this planet earth, lol.

My current ping hovers around 18ms on my Bluboo Xtouch, or over WiFi from it. I've attached a screen shot from a few minutes ago, along with it's associated history. (The 123ms aberration was when I tried out what Glo's 4G over its native E5773 — and its own benchmarked DNS — currently does in my crib.)

I don't know where on a scale of 1-10 your own written grammar ranks compared to the rest of the Algerian population that can communicate in English, but yours is good enough.

Well done.

You IPOB members are a pathetic bunch. Since you are saying you didn't sign any agreement to be part of Nigeria, why did your forefathers fight for the independence of Nigeria, instead of that of Biafra from our colonial masters? Wasn't Azikiwe the first president of Nigeria? Why didn't he fought for the independence of Biafra from the British?Or did IPOB told you guys that Azikiwe was a Fulani man too?

LOL... Na wa.

Igbo's should not overlook the benefit of operation pathon dance. They always offer free medical treatment to everyone.

I am an Igbo guy and I support it 100% my reasons are but not limited to;

(1) the hate and hate speech is now spreading so rapidly that it is now affecting the younger ones. I want them to have the mind of their own.

(2) the instability in the region is now chasing investors away thereby increasing unemployment rate. No investor would like to invest in such area.

(3) the agitation is as a result of total ignorance and greed. Even if you give them everything, they will still ask for more.

(4) it is dragging people away from business because of lost in focus. This people no longer do their normal business. They keep running from one IPOB meetings to another. Chest beating on how they have the capacity to build nuclear weapons, how their BSS is the best in the whole world, how they can burn Nigeria in 24 hours. What a world of fantasy .

(5) the Biafra would be the worst country; the division within the Biafra land, the hatred because they have taught themselves how to hate instead of love.

(6) Biafra land is not economically viable. The revenue we generate can not feed two states out of five state we have. They are landlocked, they don't produce enough food that can feed a state out of five. They will import every but with which money

(7) 70% of Igbo don't want Biafra, they don't subscribe to it. They are not prone to deception from Nnamdi KANU. But the 30% that want Biafra are more vocal thereby overshadowing the 70%.

My father once told me that, "it is possible to wake up a sleeping person but impossible to the one pretending to be asleep.
True knowledge is the knowledge of ones own ignorance."

Same I got. The price is really dropping on the device, which is good for future buyers.....

I for one said I'd consider it when it drops to/below $149 na; I probably wasn't kidding.

Seriously speaking, you're doing a good job helping others be aware, with your experimentations and experiences so far using these Umidigi devices.

Guys;

gfservers (see my earlier post on the service,) now allows up to five devices simultaneously, with each device on/at a different IP/location at any one time, and still at the same monthly sub price! [A screen shot is attached.]

Here's a video review by a respected YT poster (I'm not affiliated in any way) :

bro is there anything as unlimited yetbin this Naija for. Now what they call unlimited is just a scam jere

ntel is now truly unlimited - at least with the 12.5k monthly plan which I've since re-embraced, and comes at 10Mbps tops; but the service has to be near perfect in your area, otherwise you experience debilitating service dropouts and low speeds.

So, choose wisely.

Hi, guys;

I discovered that thestreammachine.net has a penchant for identifying and presenting good apks for especially Live TV.

Note, though, that if you're not presently located in the UK/US (as most of us aren't, LOL,) then a robust VPN service IS required to have proper access to US/UK channels with most of the better apks.

Good luck.

CavendishPlex:
I don't mind you hooking me up with the StreamHub add-on repo. Having an extra won't be bad after all. I visit Kodi from time to time to keep myself up to date with what goes on in there.

Sorry, CavendishPlex, I've been off for a bit.

Honestly, what I did was to identify the current best Live TV addons. The two most stable currently, IMHO, are Bennu and the earlier mentioned StreamHub. I then searched for them on YouTube, and determined that one of the repositories that's good for Bennu, is Ares Wizard, which installs as a program addon, then presents the video addons and a bunch of other useful stuff via menu choices.

When I grabbed the repositories a couple of weeks ago, StreamHub was at https://archive.org/download/repository.streamhub/ (note the "s" ) while Ares was at http://repo.ares-project.com/magic/

As we all know, some of these repos shift ground or installation methods sometimes, so it may turn out more appropriate to look for the current installation video that has ganered good upvotes for each addon.

A lot of times, my window into Kodi addons via YT, is the poster Solo Man. He seems pleasantly honest, and I find his presentations quite easy to follow.

Also, I get proper access, especially with US and UK channels in HD via the addons, when I use a proper VPN service that provides for appropriate geolocations.

Trust these help a bit.

Pushed forward..... Collection was meant to be Saturday, and now pushed forward to Tuesday.... The Tuesday is ahead of Saturday.........

Nairaland is not a linguistic college......

I've been off the site for a bit. Sorry, I misread your post, I thought the delivery was delayed; meant no harm, so no qualms.

Still, good luck to you with the device.

CavendishPlex:
Yes, it does. SmartIPTV also has the feature. I guess you did the 1-day trial.

I'm sure you noticed TWS isn't big on sporting channels, but very OK for other regular programming.

I haven't done the trial, actually; I'll include it in my feedback when I do. Incidentally, the times I was big on sporting events are long past, so I should be OK if I have to settle for TWS.

[I'm still holding out for now with some Kodi add-ons, hehehe (StreamHub is kinda stable for Live TV,) but I'm aware that line's not what you particularly bothered about.]

CavendishPlex:
I'm glad you found the SS-IPTV info useful.

Like I said, the picture quality I've gotten so far from TWS using the SS-IPTV is the best I've come across so far. I may not be able to tell if the pictures are truly 720p,1080p or even FHD, but the clarity is just decent for me. I reckon TWS tries to give at least 720p picture quality.

What I've found out from the owners of TWS who also run other services like Jinx, Eclipse, Crown and Gears hosting, since TWS is the cheapest, you might not get true 1080p. I've tried the Jinx hosting service and they have quite a lot of HD channels. But what I hate about Jinx is that there is a clutter of so many unnecessary channels + movies +series.

As regards the gfservers IPTV, if there's anyone who'd like to join forces and give it a spin all for a shared value of $18 (maximum of 3 persons), please contact @duwdu. I could tag along too. I came across a YouTube video like 2 days ago and the guy touted gfservers as the best he's used so far.

Thanks for your help on a clarion call on other potential collaborators for the gfservers services. I hope some indicate interest pretty soon.

I noticed that SS-IPTV (SS) touts a feature that enables automatic channel marking and switching at preset times. That's pretty cool if it works!

HI bro, The Wildside subscription has been great so far. For the price of $5/month when I subscribed last week, it's a steal. I had to do a 3-month subscription straight up. But from what I see, the price has gone up by $2 for the one I did. Check it out at https://airup.online

Just yesterday, I was able to set it up on my Smart TV using the SS-IPTV (beautiful thing about it is that it's FREE) app that's just like the Smart IPTV. I must say the SS-IPTV user interface is a whole lot better and I get a better stability and crisper picture quality than what I get on SmartIPTV and even my Android TV box. I feel I just blew €5.49 for the one-off purchase of the SmartIPTV app.

As regards sharing cost of gfservers with a couple of guys, I have come to understand many of these IPTV services only allow multiple devices streaming at the same time on the same IP address only meaning y'all must be on the same network. If gfservers allows something different, that will be interesting. Please let me know if this is allowed.

Great response, my guy, and, thanks for the SS-IPTV heads up.

Yes, gf does allow up to three different IP's each geolocated anywhere in the world at the same time. That's the key reason I fingered it out of others such as Vader Streams and Gears TV.

But yeah, TWS looks good indeed, although that 2 bucks hike gets me worried, LOL. Have you noticed much 1080p streaming on the service?

........

Hi,CavendishPlex;

What's been your experience with The Wildside so far, please?

I'm about ready to jump on this paid IPTV thingy, primarily for Live TV that should be mostly in 1080p. So far, the one I've seen online users/reviewers give the most stars, is by gfservers @ 18 bucks/Mo for three devices that can be anywhere on earth at any one time. If I can get one/two trusted guys to split that with me, I'll go for it.

But I can also settle for The Wildside's 5 bucks/Mo if 95% reliable and is mostly 720p at the very least?

I'm using my ntel Sim card and sharing via hotspot on my pc.The speed on the browsing on pc becomes slow but the phone is still very fast any solution to that?

Honestly, so many factors can come into play here, that it can be difficult to diagnose such an issue remotely. For example, your PC's WiFi/LAN card/driver may be the culprit, or even the Band in use (2.4/5 GHz?) So, you may need to troubleshoot somehow.

All that, in addition to what alt3r3g0 said.

I would be waiting a few months, to get another umidigi device.

Price go drop within months of initial launch..... Possibly the S2 Pro and Crystal on my mind..... I am sure they would still launch the crystal Pro, possibly in lumia blue....

It's a waiting game......

Now, we're talking... The Z1 Pro - or something like it - will come under my radar, even when I don't need one, when it comes at well under $149.

A man can wish na.

I want to know if using a router will make my internet faster

Router or phone, I think it all depends on the quality of the signal at your location, Band locked into, and device placement.

........

In the context of the Z1 Pro, it is presently difficult to beat the new Ulefone T1 - 6 GB RAM/64 GB ROM, Helio P25, 5.5" FHD, 25 Bands, Dual Rear Camera, and all the usual works in its class - all for $199, and Ulefone has been a fairly decent brand, I believe ...

For now

Those ntel guys start/try that ill-advised move again, yours truly takes off from the network again.

For now, and provided service is good in one's area, ntel is the network to be on, especially if one's more of a HD content grabber.

Lexusgs430:
To answer your question comprehensively, Umidigi Z1 Pro fully supports Band 28.......
With pictorial proof below.......

I see Band 28 was not enabled on your screen shot. You have to be able to enable it (that is, the tick holds) to confirm it is actually supported. Please show that if you will, thanks.

In an earlier post by a member on this thread, it was shown that Band 28 was enabled on that apparently trusty UMI IRON.

I remember reading, from credible sources at the time, that Mr. Ayeni single-handedly donated N4bn to President Jonathan's campaign in 2015. Here's a link to some N2bn of it...

It should probably be better on the long run that ntel goes into receivership, to avoid a total collapse.

mikron:
ok here we go, since i started using NTEL late last year i have been quite pleased with their service though there is still room for improvement
whenever i have huge files to download i prefer using the N500 unlimited 2 night plan since it was launched, it does the job for me, i can download more than 5 hd movies on torrent in 4 hours with a speed of about 900 KB/s and a speed of 2 MB/s on IDM for my regular downloads. it blazes superfast for me.
what i do is that i buy N500 NTEL airtime through their NTEL portal http://mc.ntel.com.ng/, then i subscribe exactly 2 to 3 mins after 12 midnight, thats it.
but lately i prefer going for the N1,500 NTEL UNLIMITED 7 nights plan, works perfect. 7 whole nights of streaming and download. bro it rocks.
sometimes around 3 am i get speeds as high as 6 MB/s though not everytime but i get steady download speeds of 1.4 MB/s on IDM everytime from 10 pm to 5am
my location: Area 1 Garki FCT Abuja.

Good thinking, and thanks for sharing.

At this point in 9ja, that 6 MB/s is to die for.
