I pay for Airtel ODU 5 days ago but till now I have not seen any installer or the device itself, each they kept send me names and phone numbers of different people as installers but each time I call them they say they live far from me.

I am planning driving down to their office tom to seek for refund, has anyone here successfully got refunded before ?

If I can experience installer that can install it for me too I will pay.
If it has been activated, we can actually guide you on how to set it up on this thread.

And if your area has good network ., you don't need to hang it so high. Mine is just resting on my balcony.

Alternatively, you can quote me on a dead thread with your number lemme guide you on WhatsApp

Routers handle network based on congestion and SNR which is used to monitor signal quality so in airtel case their subscription ain't constant many are joining the network against the same bandwidth not unless a site is upgraded which rarely happens coz they manage that traffic by wat we call carrier aggregation for both uploads and downloads so the more your router can aggregate the better the there's a story of bandwidth for instance airtel uses 100mhz of n78 for 5g the maximum bandwidth zte g5fa can accommodate is that 100mhz so if you connected to n78 5g band whether it is congested or not you don't have a supporting band due to bandwidth limitations of the router so you either stay with bad congested n78 band or get dropped to lower bandwidth bands that can be aggregated c
Brotherly, please help us by punctuating and spacing long texts like this for easier comprehension.

Something like this: Routers handle network based on congestion and SNR, which is used to monitor signal quality.

So, in Airtel's case, their subscription ain't constant. Many are joining the network against the same bandwidth, not unless a site is upgraded, which rarely happens, coz they manage that traffic by wat we call carrier aggregation for both uploads and downloads.

So, the more your router can aggregate, the better.

There's a story of bandwidth. For instance, Airtel uses 100MHz of n78 for 5G. The maximum bandwidth ZTE G5FA can accommodate is that 100MHz.

So, if you're connected to the n78 5G band, whether it is congested or not, you don't have a supporting band due to bandwidth limitations of the router. So, you either stay with the bad, congested n78 band, or get dropped to lower-bandwidth bands that can be aggregated.

Recommendations to my issue ooooo… I can’t really point out the issue and airtel is not help atal
Call them again and threaten to port to mtn in the next 2 days if they don't fix it.

That's what I did when mine had issues. You need to see how they rushed and fixed it

go for it. I don't have a great network in my area and yet it's much better than Airtel
How's you experience with its streaming?

From midnight till day time I get up to 50mbps consistently and can stream anything. But between 6/7pm till 12 a.m it's dead, we're talking kilobytes. Unfortunately most of the World Cup games are played at this hour so I've been suffering.
This is horrible. I know you must be itching to lay your hands on the MTN ODU

Airtel will soon have your time haha..

Just get the mtn by the side, no harm in having both.
Lol, I've been using the Airtel ODU since October last year. I've seen all there is to see. My number one priority is streaming Cos I used it to replace my DStv. Before this world cup, when the league seasons were still on, I wouldn't dream of streaming a live match in HD. Champions league nights were even worse.

But I noticed all that has changed recently. Been streaming all world cup matches in HD without any buffer. I don't know if they improved by themselves or their hands were forced by MTN's competing ODU. Or is it even the servers I'm using to stream World Cup. I just know there's been glaring improvement

Exactly my point.
I lost two projects just because Airtel wanted to be unfortunate.
MTN with its 5G has been stable in my area.
Having a package like ODU is almost same as fiber x.
MTN is strong in my area in Enugu but I don't have 5G. Should I still go for it? Abi make I stick with Airtel? For context, Airtel used to be horrible once it's 7pm but during this world cup it's been mostly excellent. So what do you recommend?

not to me anyway cos I get between 45 - 55 mbps steadily on the ODU sim on x25pro even on peak hours.
Is the X25 pro a type of 4G smart box?

Reset your 4g box and it will start blazing again.
Don't you think the bolded is an exaggeration. ODU sim in a smart box is just barely has any meaningful speed. I use it as a mifi every time I want to spend hours away from my house. No matter the location, the speed is always terrible. That box is one of the worst devices to come from Airtel.

Stop checking live scores and enjoy the free streaming. You'd hardly get ones with exact timing.
You took the words outta my mouth. Cos I ditched DStv over 8 months ago when I bought my ODU. Switched to streaming and never had the need to notice the streaming Apps are 30 secs behind.

I've been streaming the world cup in HD channels and it's not because Airtel is the best network here (average speed is 20 to 25mbps). But I noticed an improvement in streaming speed on my PC when I switched from WIFI connection to Ethernet.

Ran an Ethernet cable from indoor router straight to my PC. And it's been incredible so far

I think they have stopped that. I did almost 2TB last month with a consistent speed of 48 to 49.1 Mbps throughout the month.
Just out of curiosity, what are you doing with data to hit almost 2TB monthly?

Highest I have ever hit is the one I currently have, 700gb and that's because of the world cup

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?

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?

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?

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
