Do you know other service that give more GB for the price?

the only upside is me being able to download anytime i want but as per more than 300gig a month, i can get that with swift 8k plan

ProfDavid:
I don't know about the location of others but i am in Abuja Gwarinpa to be precise i get over 1mb when i start browsing and after using little above 3gig all i get is max 65kb i get as low as 15kb, and you cant tell me its not true because this is my device and my subscription not yours. Also my question is directed to ntelassist not you.

Prof did i reply u? i quoted ntelassist not u, plus we are saying the same thing

ntelassist:
The speed is not 65kb after FUP.. but you need to know that several factors affect your speed including your destination and source locations/capacity to push or pull data.

This is not true, there have been loads of people complaining about 65KB/s after FUP, you can't tell me they all have the same destination and source location blah blah blah

I GET UP TO 45 AT NIGHT

NTEL?

chiefoyibo:
Don't get me wrong, it's not completely perfect, sometimes even if you are on the fast internet, it might fluctuate, the speeds might go down for a few minutes, but overall it is like the good old days when they just started. I hope they will invest more in Lagos and provide better service. It is nice to see another Nigerian company actually trying to enter the game, investing INSIDE Nigeria, not outside...you should support your companies more, give them second chance.

Not true, when they first started I was getting an average of 58mbps, so u getting 16mbps for 20k is not good enough

toluxa1:
Is this NTEL?

Spectranet

toluxa1:
I need someone to categorically confirm if the night plan is not subject to the cap and throttling. Anyone using it?

If u are asking about spectranet they reduce their speed to 10mb/s for their night plan.

just going to leave this ere

toluxa1:
Please be informed that the Smartphone Night Plans become active from 10:00PM to 06:00AM for the Lite, weekly and monthly bundle respectively.

Kindly note that the bundle can be activated at any time but only takes effect at the active periods. Find below the cost of the mentioned night plans:

* Smartphone Unlimited Lite - N500
* Smartphone Unlimited Weekly - N1500
* Smartphone Unlimited Monthly - N5000.

I asked if it's subject to the 3GB cap and throttling and they said No, it is not.

if the bolded part is true, i am all up for it. looks good and not expensive but i don't trust them

oyb:
I think someone needs to take these guys to CPC for false representation. All the providers.

They run around shouting unlimited, but they all have limits.

Ntel 'unlimited' is basically 90gb per month. End of. A plan that gives you 3gb per day is not unlimited. I cannot even download win 10 creators update with that. I cannot stream a full season on Netflix.

I am just coming from smile, who have said their unlimited lite has a daily cap of 1.5gb.

At Spectranet right now to find out their own unlimited cap

They offer unlimited night plan but they throttle the speed to 10mbps (as at 6months ago), u might think it's cool cos outside 1-7am u will get like 30 - 40 Mbps (my area) but to me any network throttling speed gets me mad, I might have to go back to using swift. I enjoyed ntel while it lasted.

Ntel is up and running, hope they will extend the 2 days they went offline for

anybody having issues with ntel only opening google related pages? I've been having this issue since yesterday and I only did 2 days plan, customer care line not going through

think its best to know location and how many bars so it can help the "Ntel People" know where the issue is

oyb:
10mb/s?

I used Spectranet for two years. The best I got was 3mb/s

Their throttling was 50kb/s

When I went to their office to complain, they admitted throttling, but claimed it was to 500kb/s

If Spectranet intend to continue their throttling policy, then they must be extremely confident. It was the throttling that made me leave them.

All the scheduling wahala on J Downloader, the waking up or staying up to ensure the rapid gator or uploaded downloads have started, all thwarted.

I want to believe they have learned their lesson, but this is Naija after all

Meanwhile, if you hear the Ntel ads on the radio..

apart from this last sunday, Ntel has been ok for me since they stopped that stupid cloudflare nonsense, its cool if i need to download, on PC i get 1.5-3 MB/s on X1 i get an average of 10mb/s so i really can't complain much and i know its unlimited not like mumu spectranet

amblors:
i heard someone on twitter say its blazing fast in PH. I've heard so much bad news here about the network i decided to go with spectranet. ntel was fluctuating on my phone with 1800mhz. made my decisions easier. Unlimited for 10k was pretty tempting though. currently enjoying my spectranet.

then i guess u can help me, do they throttle your speed by 1am to 10mb/s? cos the last time i paid i normally get 25-30 on my X1 but by 1am (free browsing) my speed gets throttled to 10mb/s that was Y i stopped paying

alt3r3g0:
Dont try it. Yes its unlimited but the speed is too slow that by the time the month is over, you would have used less than 10gb if at all. Would have recommended glo but not sure they are in ph. Stick to spectranet for now or get mtn thats 5k for 20gb.

Are u in PH or u are just talking about ur own location?

malikalhaj:
is anybody on this thread using spectranet? do they still throttle their 1am - 7am speed?

anybody using spectranet?

wheezyoung:
ps4?

X1

is anybody on this thread using spectranet? do they still throttle their 1am - 7am speed?

miki2014:
Did a top up on ntel early Sunday morning, it didn't reflect on my account summary. Some hours later I was told the plan was auto-renewed. Unfortunately, I still couldn't use the internet cos it kept asking me to log in. There was an active plan on my account that I could't use.
Fast forward, someone calls me from ntel to say the issue has been resolved this afternoon. Meanwhile, the plan expires tonight. I asked if there's a plan to compensate me; the reply was that he would "send the feedback" which practically means "I am On my Own."

Ntel has zero credibility and their network is unreliable. Quote me anywhere. Don't make the mistake of switching to ntel.

this has happened to me twice

oyb:
0KB/S WTF?!?!?!

I had same speed yesterday, thought it was just me

alt3r3g0:
I will take a wild guess and say you must be in Abuja to get 10MB/s.

Lagos, except i am missing i can see 10Mb/s not 10MB/s

oyb:
i suspect they are throttling. i have full bars and i STILL have 100kb/s and below this has been going on for over 48 hours now.

maybe its ur location, used on my console yesternight and the speed was quite good. console is always slower than IDM

hacked with kinect 45k

PoisonedOne:
Ntel that has less than two thousand subscribers are having network issues. They have the worst staffs from what I have experienced so far, they're only interested in selling their lines to people but don't bother about customers' satisfaction. They're yet to activate the sim I bought from them in early October 2016. I've gone to there office at Ikeja twice for it but the lady that sold it to me seems unreliable and not ready to help me. I've lost hope in their network. If guns were legalized in this country i would've shot all of them in that office, as for the girl that sold it for me, I would make sure that I shoot her and her spirit too.

source?? i agree that some of their CC agents are bad but that's also the same for all the other telcos, i damaged my sim card 3 months back, could not even do a SIM retrieval and i had 1k on that sim, had to purchase another

purplekayc:
we need pictorial evidence

no sub on the swift, but if u pay will send u the screenshot

pheesayor:
4Mbps on ntel as at today?

Saturday and Sunday

it depends on the area though, Swift is the fastest i have used in Surulere (masha area) i do constant 6MB/s, while in Ojo area i get 4MB/s on Ntel and spectranet

it depends on where u reside, all the networks have good 4G. the only people i will complain about is spectranet cos they throttle their free midnight plan from 1am till 6:59am

over the weekend i was getting very good speed, i am guessing it's a location stuff cos i had 5 bars

how much does this cost? WS-C2960-24PC-L

Ojo Lagos

use quickteller but u will be charged an extra 100 bucks but it works immediately

spenca:
Network to download this is another big issue

yeah, can give u the ddownloaded files if u have an externl USB 3.0 HD or copy directly to ur console cos u will need to input the code in my presensce
