Tried to subscribe to the 20MBps plan and the plan is no longer available. One now has to do the 35k 40MBps plan. Airtel no try abeg...

How did you go about attempting to subscribe? I can still see 25k subscription here.

However an airtel agent told me weeks back that there are rumors from the airtel company that the 20k plan will be discontinued.

It's a bad move especially cos most ppl opted for Airtel cos of the relatively affordable 20k plan.

Sapiosexuality:
Exactly what I will do. I will sell it. I'm getting panels first. Then inverter and battery.

Would be interested in buying it when you are ready to sell.

Drgreatone:

U cud get a dedicated lipo4 charger and use with a satchet inverter

Any good recommendations?

MrBrownJay1:
thats what happens during wars, many innocent people are dying....

War or state sponsored terrorism? It's all about semantics

HeavenlyBang:


Would you recommend them?

Absolutely

Danibestguy:


Have you used their inverters before?

Nah. Just their LiFePO4 batteries.

This is one of the best alternative energy companies I know. Kept wondering why their products isn't in the 9ja market that much. Nice one

QuoteJust1nce:


Well, you quoted me directly so I misconstrued it.
Yeah it is truly unlimited; but the speed is meh! AFAIC

You now agree it's unlimited abi your initial reservation was just about the speed cap?

QuoteJust1nce:


Ouch. Too late! Drgreatone should be in possession of it soon. He messaged first. Sorry mate

Ain't you looking to sell the ODU as well?

Solar energy, a complement to free to air

My airtel ODU is connected to a dedicated 40ah Lifepo4 battery and it is active even if there is grid outage.

QuoteJust1nce:


Have you asked nicely and I said no?

😂😅

Oya how much u wan sell ur ODU or the 5G router.

QuoteJust1nce:


Don't mind Airtel. It's actually Mbps in reality. I have that exact 5G router and their ODU. They are relics gathering dust now

Why u no sell them or give them out since you may not have use for them anymore.?

QuoteJust1nce:
Guy calm down na. Without mincing words, na money be the issue here. Even if he only needs 1GB, if he has spare money to throw, he would go for the best internet money can get. Nobody would reject 300Mbps for 20Mbps claiming that he's an average user. If only we would be honest with ourselves as Nigerians. Do with this information what you may.

Yeah, you have a point sha. But not everyone is constrained by funds. I said it above, the initial hardware cost of setting up starlink is very prohibitive. So airtel is a viable alternative IMHO.

Person wey comot 20k for Internet sub suppose fit add 18k to sub for starlink, don't u think?

QuoteJust1nce:


For zero, you cannot have an efficient home server
For one. you cannot stream 4K
For "two", download an 50GB engineering template and tell me how long it takes you to complete? mins? hours? days?
For three, You cannot have your kids, you, wife and guests streaming HD at the same time while you hold an important zoom meeting (very important).
Some devices will be throttled based on QoS and the list go on.

For 0, not everyone knows or wants to have a home server.

For 1,not everyone knows or wants to stream in 4k. Even if you have the data to stream in 4k, what if you don't have the hardware to support 4k streaming?

For 2, 50gb file will eventually get downloaded, I dare say in minutes. May take over and hour but then again, what's the rush. We will all get to promised land of completed downloads eventually. Lolz.

For 3, I hv had cause to stream on multiple TV screens, working on multiple desktop computer systems. It was all seamless. Also phones were being used in between. Perhaps I need to try out having an online meeting while streaming media concurrently.

You still refuse to acknowledge the fact that everyone's use case is quite different.

I agree with you, the more the better. But let's not belittle the satisfaction ppl choose to derive from how they choose to spend their hard earned money sir.

Enjoy your starlink. Make all men enjoy their choice.
Shalom.

Ayomipoe:
Rush to buy Starlink has sold theirs?
Abeg this one is not factual. If you know anyone who is selling their used device, it's either they are gamers and they already have access to networks with high ping or they are content creators that need access to high upload speeds.

You are comparing Starlink to the older satellite technologies, that one cannot fly.
See my speed test this morning and it is currently drizzling, a scenario that affects the speed.

People are not rushing to sell their Starlink o bros, na scarce commodity.

You are even an average user IMHO. Your starlink speed isn't impressive to say the least. I am aware some people get way more than this though.

HeavenlyBang:


20mbps isn't 20MBps.

You're essentially capped at 2.5MBps, and I'm willing to bet it's lower than that most of the time. Don't see why any serious internet user would limit themselves to such pitiful speeds.

You would loose your money brotherly. Lolz. It's way beyond that. Gets up to 50Mbps when downloading. What you want to say is bytes per second Bps and bits per second bps. 1Byte = 8bits.

That is more than enough for most people's use case. I use it to stream on multiple TV screens at once without any buffering in between. Seamless experience I must add, so far.

QuoteJust1nce:


Respectfully sir, if you enjoy using 20Mbps in 2024, you need therapy fast.
Why pay 20k for 20Mbps when you can pay 38k/49k for 300Mbps, ehn baby?
When I switched to Starlink I kept paying for Airtel & MTN as backup; you know how it is with Nigerian networks that can disappear at any moment. After two payment cycles and Starlink "refused to go offline for even 1 second" typical of Nigerian networks; I had to stop "wasting money on backup internet. I didn't even use 1MB". Your guess is as good as mine.

He said it serves his use case. So different strokes for different folks. Some folks ain't heavy users. They just basically surf and stream some media online. That's basically it. Not everyone wants to spend above minimum wage every month on Internet subscription.

Many people are shying away from starlink due to the relatively high cost of the hardware. Starlink also have their issues I guess?

auwal8377:


If you have your Dollar MasterCard, ask them to prepare the payment through that.

I just paid for some solar goods yesterday with that it went through with just one click.
I paid 355 dollars and the charges were 10.69 dollars or thereabouts.

Which of the banks dollar mastercard did you make use of?

Dam5reey:


yes, it's a free device, once you pay for the 20MBps, its now 25k for new users.

Noted with thanks sir.

Dam5reey:


I sent mail to airtelbusiness@ng.airtel.com, and their affiliate called 2 days later.
I confirmed again and again, if it's true unlimited and there is no Fair usage, though i don't do heavy downloads i don't just want data to stop in the middle of the month, the representative confirmed its true unlimited no cap or fair usage
I was sent the SIM pack details went to register and made a 20k payment on the website, for the 20Mbps Unlimited plan.
and they sent me the Device.

So does that mean the device is for free once you pay for a months subscription? Cos I can't where you referred to the price of the 4G router.

I will be sending it from Kwara State sir.

Fremlin:
Gm

Please, how legit is cool.dipo

You are covered. He is a legit guy. Go ahead and transact with him boss

Trippledots:


I don't think this is correct.

I have fed 1.25kwp to this controller but a 30A model. The current stays withing the CC rating and Voc is about 31V_system is still working, no issues.

You mean you exceeded the maximum wattage rating for the cc?

In his case with a 60A cc, the maximum PV wattage supported should be (12V * 60A) 720w. His installer fed the cc with (180 * 6) 1080w from the panels.

Is the cc a pwm or mppt?

Obnoxious2001:


It's gone.
To get the SMD ics and all that stuff is not worth the stress.
It's even cheaper to replace it

The thing pain me sha. It was a new inverter. I didn't even get to use it for 5 minutes before it got spoilt while he was installing the system. I just thank God say no be my LiFePO4 battery he spoil like that. Smh

Obnoxious2001:


What type of inverter is that

Suoer 2000w/12v sachet inverter

gifted65:
Please I need help.

I have 300 (3) and 250 (1) solar panels
100 lead acid battery (2)
Inverter 3000w sachet

Because of my 12v, so the the installer add another pwm cc to the existing powr mppt because he said the mppt could only take 3 panels.

During the day, i still don't have sufficient energy to power 120w freezer and two ceiling fans with 2 tv

What's the ampere rating of your powmr cc? Is it the 60A variant? Why did he say the mppt can't take more than 3 panels? I am aware some people exceed the max wattage rating for their cc. In ur use case, the 60A powmr cc can take max of 720w. for a 12v system.

If you use 3 pcs of the 300w panel, that's 900w in total, giving a difference of 180w excess.

kristien4:
Pls has anyone experienced this before, an installer i introduced to a friend mistakenly reversed polarity for battery connection to inverter. And now, the inverter has refused to detect battery.. any solution to this wahala?

Similar happened to me when my installer attempted my installation, although mine was a case of over voltage from battery to inverter. He connected the batteries in series and used my 12v inverter. The inverter just blow. Until now I no see am repair. It has been with different technicians for the past 6 months and none has been able to repair it. I just counted my losses and moved on. It's now scrap as far as I am concerned.

Hake1975:
Two things, Ustaz.

1. I have my elderly father to care for and he has a business which I am responsible for. The business fetches a decent income for the family to sustain ourselves and pursue some aspirations.

2. My wife is a medical doctor and for her profession, it's better she practices abroad for way better income for her. She is responsible for her parents and a sibling. We just had a baby.

Now, I'm confused - should I leave Nigeria with her to take care of her and our baby, or I stay back to support my father? Or is there anything else I can do?

Convincing her to stay back has only led to fights with her & her family

If you need to take solace in the verses of the holy quran or the hadith of the rosul, there are many pointing to the importance of taking care of ones parents. There is nothing you can do to repay a parent for all they did to make you.

The relationship between a child and his parents is sacrosanct. After God, ones parents are next.

Do you know how many people pray to be in your shoes so they hv the opportunity to worship Allah through taking care of their aged parents.

Do you know how many people regret that they can't bring their parents back to life so they can spend more time seeking their pleasure and taking care of them.

Omo if you take car eof your dad in his old age, and he use his mouth, mind and heart to pray for you ehn, SUCCESS AND BLESSING GO DEY FIND YOU UPANDAN.

I hardly ever share my advise on this platform but I would make an exception in your case.

Since you are a Muslim, would you consider marrying a second wife?

A parent is a parent and a wife is a wife. I would say you should take car eof your aged dad. That is what I would do if I were to be in your shoes.

Wives come and go but parents hardly ever abandon their kids. If the latter happens, it's an exception and not the norm.

I can't imagine a wife making me choose between her and any of my parents. My answer is very obvious.

What assurances does your wife have that she will be better off abroad.

On 2nd thought, I get that she also wants to take care of her own family as well. Let's not be too selfish cos you are rhe husband. Cut her some slack since her motives may be noble.

Let her travel abroad. Stay back to take care of your dad. You can Join her much later or on holidays. The devil will be playing pranks on some of you and you/ur wife or others will be thinking in ur minds, silently wishing your dad will pass on on time. Wa iyyazubillah. Or better still make alternative arrangements with your siblings so you can also take some well deserved break.


On 3rd thought, ):, why can't your wife also volunteer to stay back and support you in taking care of your elderly father. If it's her dad, would she be contemplating travelling abroad at such a time? She also shouldn't be selfish. Money isn't everything my brother. Money is just a means to an end.


The best is to marry another wife. God almighty in his divine wisdom allowed it for a reason. As such, It's a win win situation for all parties.
