The bolded is the part i don't get.

and telemetry sef won't consume 1Gb in a month unless you are beta testing and committed to uploading every single log ever generated on the PC.
Sorry boss, what i meant to say is that Telemetry wont work unless the client PC is on and connected to the internet...

Telemetry is capable of sending that amount of data, boss, trust me.. But this is irrelevant cos both client pc and modem are switched off.

But like Oyb stated, it might be some kind of rogue software doing some background shit.

Well like they say..

its a condition that makes a crayfish bend in an awkward position.

The Economy of a nation indirectly changes the thinking faculty of its citizens...

The evidence of the above can be seen on this thread.

Advice to all the fellas on here

If a woman doesnt stick with you when you have little, she doesnt deserve to be with you when you hammer.

Work on yourself to be a better husband and father to your future wife and kids and not some gold digger LovePeddler (No offense if you are one on this thread)

To the ladies

You need to be self sufficient. With or without a guy, you still have your own life to live. Work on yourself to be supportive to your future
husband and kids.


To all:

If your not married, you have absolutely no obligation to do anything for each other unless your heart tells you to do it.

And No, dont play the sex card. Relationships needs to go back to the basics of really getting to know each other from the attitude point of view.

Please dont quote me if you have nothing sensible to say.

Galatians 6:9





i still do not subscribe to the bolded. there isn't anything inside a firmware that 'calls home' on its own, because what will it be calling home with?

under normal circumstances, 'calling home' would be uploading certain files, logs and info from your PC to an external conduit.
so if there's nothing connected at all, what is it homing?

plus the stated volume 1gb is rather extreme. the info that spyware targets are usually very small. keyloggers, password sniffers etc, these will give you kilobyte sized files.....


but then, never say never. stranger things have happened.


problem is: the way to test this type of issue for instance is to put a packet sniffer on your PC network card to log all connections so you can see what is being done. but thats from your PC you see....

if the modem itself is what is doing whatever, i don't know a way to check that, that doesn't require extreme measures like decompiling the firmware or changing it...... ZTE no dey like huawei so probably very difficult



my theory is: the modem is configured to constantly read packet activity and keep connection alive always. so its always using data.
i also think it counts upload pings and download pings the same. i don't think its calling any home.

plus you know some modems have config pages that literally try to go on-line (doesn't make sense, but now i think about it, I've seen that on a ZTE too...) . instead of a local html page that you can use to change settings.

even some huawel modems have huaweionline.com as config page, instead of just 192.168.8.1(or equivalent)





unfortunately, i can't begin to explain how to use wireshark but if you are really curious you can try get wireshark, read up how to use it and sniff your network card when connected to the modem. most of the log you probably won't recognize or understand. it will contain a lot of connections you'd think are suspicious but really aren't cheesy

what are you so bothered about anyway? your dataplan or you have some info you don't want to share with china?? grin grin grin grin
Not unless he or she is on windows 10. In that case, its not necessarily the modem calling home but telemetry in windows calling microsoft.

ofcourse Telemetry only works when it is connected so that doesnt explain the part of his 1gb disappearing.. Oh well what do i know??

i am just an SE.

People just like to talk out of their asses with no alternatives whatsoever.

That was how Lai Mohammed was talking out of his ass too.

The Nigerian kind of governance baffles me sometimes. Its that simple, laid the framework via laws and infrastructure

and let the citizens utilize it.

Nope.... All they want is to chop. Even that ambode, you think hes not chopping too??

greenpasture:
It seems many commentators do not understand the import of the statement by the minister.
1. You can produce your movies and shows abroad if you like
2. Such will not be classified as a nigerian movie
3. Such will compete for foreign production slotsbon cable and local channels.

The move will create an opportunity for nigerians to invest in movie infrastructure. History shows that Nigerians are quick to bridge such gaps.

The statement leaves open the possibility of shooting scenes outside the country if the final production/mix is done onshore.

What the movie industry should be seeking clarification is on the interpretation of what " production" means. The minister on his part could have provided information on the fx outflow to allow the nigerian people understand the opportunity cost of foreign production.

We need to avoid knee jerk responses.
Noted.

Unfortunately, its a guessing game right now. I guess we have to interpret the laws by ourselves then?

Right. So stop sending your kids to schools in the US and UK. Also while at that, Please bring President Buhari back to Naija

because after all, he is a Nigerian and Nigerian hospitals have world class facilities. smh. This is what happens when Old men of

Normally I prefer you send me PM so I can send you the link but so as to help others.... This is what you will do.. it's a bit expensive flying from JFK and from what I've seen any flight from New york to Miami international is very expensive. What I did was to look for the nearest airport to Miami which is Fort Lauderdale International, FL (FLL) and it's just 20 mins ride to Center of Miami so after some search I was able to connect EWR (New Jersey) to Fort Lauderdale International, FL (FLL) direct fly for less $125 per passenger for a return ticket.
So go to online and book it that way if not PM for the link.
Newark is quite far from JFK, no??

valeria:
Thanks to everyone for your immense help and responses.

We (spouse, kid and I) will be travelling to the U.S next month and it's our first visit to America.

Our application stated Miami as destination but tickets are so expensive this summer that we decided to book a flight to New York and intend to get a domestic flight from JFK to Miami the following morning. We have booked a night stay at a hotel close to JFK and another 14 nights stay at the Miami hotel.

I am a bit worried now because we have a contact in New York (also stated in our application) and it may sound like we are changing our destination because we have someone in New York to accommodate us.

The domestic flights seen online are costly and we hope to get cheaper options when we go to the local airport the following day.

Is there something we should be worried about?

Thanks in anticipation
As long as your story stacks up, you should be fine. The bolded is what i dont get and it might backfire on you.

I highly suggest you buy your domestic tickets before you leave Nigeria. That way, even if the POE officer doubts your story, your domestic

tickets would bail you out. Hope you understand what i am trying to say.

Hian.

Me Ntel troll? This is very unfair, and i wee not take eeet. Everyone here knows that i'm Ntel's biggest fan and stan(minus ley08) *coughs*

Even Ntel staff here will testify to how i'm their bestest customer of the year.




Anyways, the scam of the outdoor GSM antenna has been upon us since the days of Methuselah. having tried several, including those sold by Swift, Spectranet and some random brands from the market, i verily saith unto thee that they simply do not work.



Just install LTE Discovery or any other similar app that can enable you see the signal level on your android phone with NTEL sim in it (some custom roms allow you to switch the signal bar to dBm text too) and walk round your house looking at the signal level.

the place with the lowest dBm is where the signal is strongest, put your desktop modem there. Daz all

and if in your place you are unable to get anything lower than 90dBm, the signal level is too weak to be of any reasonable use to you tbh.
And thus, the difference between a oldtimers response and someone who comes on here guns blazing...

Thank you very much dear Sir.

i use both indoor and mobile devices

at home, i use a TP link TL-MR6400 modem [desktop modem]
on the road, i use a huawei mifi modem

recommendation depends on use

i live in a storey building, and i was having challenges sharing data between devices. the mifi's network was not powerful enough, nd it could not be connected to a router. so i got a desktop modem, connected same to router and now i have full network coverage.

if you plan on using it at home, get the desktop modem

if however, you plan on being on the road, then you need the mobile one.

best advice would be for you to get the sim and buy any modem of your choice. [not sure they make sales like that]

the modems most of them sell are locked to networks so if you can buy your own tplink or dlink modem, it will be more convenient

as to outdoor, i think they are referring to the antenna, which is purported to bost reception/signal.

4llerbuntu, our resident linux/android/xiaomi/tecno/3g/4g expert ad all around ntel troll will tell you there is no benefit from the antenna. i'm inclined to agree with him.


if you have the paper or yen though, go for it.
A well written response. i must commend. Thank very much Dear Sir.

[quote author=oyb post=57559293]Hmmmm, they must be upping the antenna.
I did one month with them on unlimited and ported back to Ntel at the end (my 100gb went in one week) [/quote

Educate me please

What device do you use on the Spectranet network?

I see on their website that they have three types of devices. indoor, outdoor and mobile i believe.

And what do u recommend?

Is anything wrong for her uncle to provide the money if he can afford it?



Seriously I'm somehow amazed at your reasoning. So the help she is to receive from her uncle must be commensurate with the help the uncle received from her father before she is due for one? Hmm, there are people in this world o!

What is wrong for her to ask the uncle for money?
Answer 1

No, there is nothing wrong. But can he afford it? this is the question. Secondly it seems you have a weird definition of affordability.

Like the Uncle is suppose to send his left over money to his niece?? This is where i have a problem with.


Answer 2

Again, No. there is nothing wrong with the OP asking her uncle for money. However, when you use your father`s support as a criteria

to your demands, then that is shameful.


You asked the previous poster what all he typed had to do with your questions??

Well heres the relation.

The Op`s uncle doesnt owe his niece anything.

If the uncle can afford it, sure. If he cant, he cannot kill himself. Its really that simple. I am sure your not retarded to understand that.
