These few days I have streamed seamlessly, including United - Leeds tonight with no problems.

What app do you use?

House, out of curiosity, I want to ask: is there any one here who by virtue of staying in a good location, can say they stream champions League at night in HD without any buffering?

Anyone? Or are we all collectively bleeped by Airtels horrible inconsistent network?

My second day in Osogbo using the Airtel ODU. I switched to 5G, but the network was weak. I got about 40 Mbps at first, but after a few minutes it dropped, so I had to switch back to 4G, which is stable and fast. Six devices were connected—four of them were streaming a Manchester City match—and there was 100% no buffering. I also got the highest upload speed I’ve ever recorded. If you’re in Osogbo, I don’t think using the Airtel ODU will be a problem

How did you switch to 4G only?

Betnomore:
Airtel no go kill person. If you know sabi how to handle dem, frustration go kill person. Just imagine since yesterday I’ve been getting like 100kbps all day and it gets back to 50mbps at night. Happening this morning also. I just decided to connect to a vpn…..VOILA…. Network speed is back to 50mbps only while connected to VPN. Not all my devices at home have VPN. Now my kids can’t watch TV like this. E no go better for Airtel

What VPN do you use?

Be like someone hack Airtel for me, tell me why I am getting 100mbps for 50mbps subscription. This is the first time I am getting this

They will still bring you back to reality

Airtel had a few mins downtime this evening. Then returned with a bang! Highest speed I've ever seen by this time of the day

Kindly disregard the above. Airtel is currently showing me shege. So bad I can't even stream the England match In 480p. Useless network

Airtel had a few mins downtime this evening. Then returned with a bang! Highest speed I've ever seen by this time of the day

folash:
Please can this odu be used internally without the external installation, and how long does the battery last?

What do you mean by internally? Like keeping the ODU inside your room?

NSEstudent:
My TV has always connected via ethernet. It is the best connection, followed by 5GHz.

This is a discovery for me. I'm absolutely enjoying it

NSEstudent:
Since the last time Airtel happened to me, I have been having largely improved experience. Today for instance, and right now as I type, I'm streaming football matches on FHD with no buffering.

Let me see if they will see this praise and do their dark arts

Same here. Speed is around 40mbps. Streaming premiere league in HD. But once it's evening around 7pm this thing will reduce to under 15mbps

NSEstudent:
Stalker codes IPTV

free or paid?

lilclin:
Airtel is down?

Yup

I have used the 3.....in terms of raw speed, the ZTE edges the rest(it's performance noticeably improves and become apparent after a restart). In terms of online responsiveness and ping, the Huawei is the best. If you play online games alot, go for the Huawei. It has the best ping.
You must also understand that the gaming latency and ping is dependent on alot of factors e.g network quality, closeness to server etc. So I won't put my entire decision based on latency alone.
Infact interms of gaming I prefer MTN. The network serves me better in my location

That ZTE restart speed boost is so true. Is there any way to sustain that?

Ebubemg:
different provider

whats their name?

Gidah:
Can I connect my odu to my airtel android smartbox through LAN ?

Yup

lilclin:
This is a pixel phone. Pixel phones doesn't support 5g in Nigeria but it started supported 5G on their beta program which haven't gotten to stable builds yet

I just checked online and you are correct. By the way, how were you able to deduce I use a pixel? What gave it away?

House, is it possible for ODU to have 5G but normal sim doesn't?

Cos I'm seeing 5G on my router. Got excited, rushed my normal Airtel line, put it in my phone, set phone to 5g yet nothing showed up.

Abi the one on the router no real?

Obviouslyblunt:
it’s under 1. Just listen for for the option under one , you’ll see it.

1 is hausa language o

lilclin:
Have you checked if your your sub is active

How do I check?

Resubscribed this morning and all I've been getting all day is 'connect to Internet'

I've rebooted both ODU and IDU multiple times. Now trying to call CC but not getting the option to speak to a rep

Leetvilla:
Which one una dey choose for best signal?

What's the average speed you get?

Obviouslyblunt:
I would advice if you plan on converting sim to physical, get two ODU routers with two different lines.

Why do you say so?

Gshems:
youcine is that app

Oh yeah, I already got that. It's been a life saver, especially its mid quality streaming options.

But I'm looking for an app that has sky sports news UK. I love watching them analyse premier League games. Or even any app that has super sports blitz cos they tune in to sky sport every day by 11am and 7pm.

Youcine used to have super sports blitz but it disappeared and hasn't been seen since

SolomonGrundy:
There are free ones na, what exactly do you need?

Please brotherly I'm in need of one that has sports channels. Especially Sky sport channels.

It's strange that since I started keeping my ODU indoors, the speed has improved.

Bejust4m:
I dont think i will be renewing my sub because what is this..
Airtel network is just bad

Mine was horrible these past few days but seems to be back now. and the speed higher than i've ever seen

SolomonGrundy:
Network today is the shittiest I've seen since I purchased this device. I've switched to emptyhen for the time being.

Thought it's only me. It started immediately I woke up this morning. Has been horrible since then till now.

Tover:
I’m very happy that you acknowledge that the cause of the slow network speed is switching from eSIM to a physical SIM. I will never advise anyone to change from eSIM to a physical SIM

I switched from e to physical. They did it at their HQ in my city. Have never experienced any loss of speed. Been blazing since then.

morikee:
I noticed that when I use the 50Mbps plan on the 4G Smartbox, I only get a maximum of 15 to 20Mbps, unlike on the ODU where I consistently get 50Mbps.

The Smart Box was not designed for maximum network signals. I experience same too.

olujosh301:
Update on this
All I had to do was get longer ethernet cable and change the location of the odu to another side of the building now I am getting 40+ steady. Airtel try sha because na bush i dey

Which app do you use to stream live match and does it buffer?
