We have been advised to use one of the ISP's who have bought IP-Wholesale from NITEL they are charging

$6500 for a 1/1MB Link. is this possible? I mean can they actually deliver the bandwidth at that price.

1: How can i measure accurately what bandwidth i am receiving (up/down)
2: How are they doing it, is there some schematic or diagram to describe how they deliver bandwidth to you such that i am aware of overheads or limitation s that can reduce the contracted bandwidth.
3: What type of SLA should one construct in this regard.

Thanks

It is interesting to note how we couch our logic embellished with sentiments and illogical wishes.

If we had not seen the depth of our performance in the CIV match, one would think it was sinply bad luck we lost the match.

We were orrible, please people accept that. We lost the second match in the same vein. We were orribel,

It is sad that in this day and age we are actually not sure of beating Benin Rep. or worst we are hoping that CIV beat Mail, Man this is the saddest show of impotence i have ever seen.

Liver-up!! guyz. CIV/MALI/Benin are all Francophone Countries do you think the ties are simply West African boundaries?

We have lost and we'd better accept and re-gig our strategy, Cut NFA away from the Ministry, Privatize it and make it a public Company, I am sure every Nairalander will buy the NFA IPO, at N100 per share.

Please can anyone on Nairaland recommend steps to acquiring SAT3 or Glo internet access in the range of 1-3MB

I need contact numbers and a pricing schedule if possible.

Thank you very much

i won my first bet (with money) in life ever. N500 that CIV beat Nigeria, could not have been more obvious.

I am not an avid fan of football nor the super eagles, but from what i hear.
we have been like this since westerhofs boys went to USA 94/Atlanta, after that it has been downhill for the super eagles,

Anyways,

I am placing a huge bet that we don't go past the second group matches. please Super Eagles don't fail me now

this is criminal, should this forum be reported to the publishers and they take legal action, this entire site can be pulled down and mr seun osewa and hundreds of board members will lose regrettably.

he won't be fired, he will simply pack up and go after we drop out in second stage group matches

why Nigeria Failed
1: Obafemi now played the wings (Finidi George, Emmanuel Amuneke, Ben Iroha) how did he ever get the position?
2: Utaka now played the wings as well
3: Shittu doubled as defender and center-forward

We did not close our chances, CIV did

okay, i think this isthe wrong market,

will try out in another group

Here are the goods,

When price is agreed, we can meet at a suitably crowded location (y'know, )

and flog the goods.

With the STARCOMMS EVDO3G you will probably need to renew subscription, i have been fighting with them to activate my internet since december with little luck, now they want me to renew so they can confirm that it works, (I am through with starcomms)

Hello.

Is there anyone who wishes to purchase a used Apple IPOD 80 GB (Black Version) ?

1: Asking Price =N40,000
2: Comes with White Belkin Leather Case and strap-hook

For that you will get a registered STARCOMMS EVDO3G Device with wires included and 1 month business subscription to fight-over for a refund (Reciepts and teller included) for FREE

Please post offers.

Will post pictures soon

@Truequest

I wish i had the energy and will-power.

I just feel useless looking at the EVDO, might as well dump it and get another provider, don't want any reminder of how starcomms treated me.


Thanks for the info anyway

fu@#cking bastards@#@!

I thought i was teh only one in this situation.

I paid 24/7 in April and was unable to logon till the end of the month.

I paid 9AM-9PM imn December and had the same problem

All through Christmas I visited their Awolowo office uptill last week, now i am told to renew my subscription so i can confirm that the logon problem has been resolved.

I complained bitterly and was told to send a letter to customer care for a refund.

The Technical Support person told me to take the EVDO to their Saka Tinubu Office for "Re-programming"

That was when i got the embarrasment of 2008

I was told to either buy a new one or stop complaining, there are serious customers in the queue.

I am back to square one.
1: No Internet
2: Loss of at least 60k plus (Equipment+unused subscription)
3: Loss of Business.

I wish there was a way to pay them back, but all i can do is seeth.

Who wants an EVDO for N5,000 all cables (and frustrations) included

I intend to write a piece of my mind in the letter to customercare as well as drop the EVDO with them (BASTARDS!!!@##)

The site may be lame, but i know a guy who worked on the project as a database developer.

He sits pretty and gets an undisclosed amount of monies every year former Platinum Bank. I think the contract was with PBank and WAEC

I don't know about the web guys but i am sure they don't give a hoot. seeing all the monies coming in "free"

I know one of the girls in this said rituals, met her the day before she died (apparently of diahorrea).

3 months later, her friend dies and confesses to the story of the party and lickin of wounds, that was when the death now made some sense.
because she was fine for the entire day, ate lunch and started puking, then died within fifteen minutes. she lived on Odo street Obalende.

It does happen everyday to unfortunate, money and fun-hungry girls

I just got word that this will be the next best thing after Interswitch

has anyone tried it yet

http://www.virtualterminalnetwork.com

A virtual payment gateway

what d'ya think

@ispeed

The solution is cheap and fast 10 time than vsat

Please in exact terms let me know what speeds your solution is capable of and what price or priced packages you have on offer.

I am especially confused when i hear x times faster than dialup or normal vsat. and end up getting less for more money or simply between 8-15kbps

I am in need of a better ISP (if there is such a likelyhood)

Thanks

There are 2 cars (Honda Accord 2003 and the Toyota Camry 2003) so i guess the 1x20ft Container is best (i hear it is cheaper to ship in containers)

He can handle all other costs, so how much do you figure the cars mentioned will cost to clear at TINCAN. or is it RORO

Do you know of a reputable Agent or can i just go there with the papers and make the payment?

Regards

Hello. I have a friend who lives in Milwaukee and needs information on clearing a container from TINCAN

1: How much does it costs per car (considering make and year)
2: Does the Model of the car matter? Rolls Royce -Honda
3: Does the year the car was manufactured matter? in nigerian terms
4: What type of containers are popular 1x40, 1x20 etc and why
5: What is the logical process and what documents are required, can one pay into a bank like you pay your nepa bills?

Thanks

Good day People,

I require information on VSAT provisioning and related licensing issues (if it applies to this situation)

1: VSAT for personal use - Internet, VOIP, Video etc
2: Does it matter if i source this service and equipment from the USA/Europe? am I breaking any NCC regulations by doing this?

Essentially, I do  not wish to use local service providers. aka Linkserve, NetCOM, Accellon, 21st Century etc

Hello, i wish i could help but we have just gone thru 4 ISPs (VSAT providers in 16 months) and they are all bloody liars and crooks that deserve to die in the pits of hell (their staff included). I have this odd notion that network engineers and administrators are stupid snobs who think that the world will collapse without them, they act like they are accountable to no one and need no distraction so they can monitor uptime/downtime without solving the issues on ground, (no that i have that off my chest)

1: Cyberspace (good trial period, cheat heavily on bandwidth and lie about support presence)
2: VGC (good trial period, good bandwidth, they cheat on bandwidth too and have too many downtime incidents)
3: Accelon (bloody liars and crooks, good trial, but they cheat on bandwidth and claim that your network is infested with viruses,on shared VSAT)
4: SpaceNet (the worlds bloodiest liars and very poor support presence)
5: 21st Century (claim to do VSAT, but cannot give you dedicated VSAT, how does that sound--- shared VSAT, snooby network engineers who need three days notice to solve a problem that just happened today, the GM is a bloody liar too)

If youare lookign at VSAT, do C-Band
from quotations i have gone thru

1: between N700k to 1.2 million (Establishment cost - purchase of equipment and installation)
2: we went for 256/256 and it costs us N900k per qtr (multiply that by three sites cos we are a financial institution as well and have LG/PH/ABJ)

girl, my advise whichever provider you choose, do not use the ones listed above, because it has cost me promotions, my self-esteem, poor appraisals and a BP of 340 (I almost died last year because of Angina brought on by too much stress)

The SLA is toilet paper because they do not honor it or have a bandwith report to counter your claims

Hello Nairalanders
We (the company i work with) are thinking of procuring VSAT services directly from reliable service providers abroad.

What we wish to do
1: VOIP
2: Internet Access
3: Mail (Exchange)
4: WAN (by virtue of hooking up 3 VSAT sites)
5: Bandwidth - 256KBPS or 512KBPS (if pricing is available for 1to2MB please provide)


Can anyone recommend providers. please

na wao, this medium ought to cut down costs on logistics and adverts because half the country is on this forum. i have never known Nigerians to be slackers when it comes to sending in quotations,

the first post for HP laptops never had a serious lookin, and we now we have had to go with the two quotes we got from offline people, 7 laptops all high-end and altogether worth N1.8 million, so where am i going wrong.

do you people not want business (don't you people want business) haba.

Not one quote. i wonder why forum admin decided thsi had to go in adverts section, everyone here is only interested in selling you something. I am interested in buying services, unfortunately non advertised can offer those services , pah
