Hi guys I've been having a LOT of issues with my airtel ODU (specifically ZLT X17U).

Just got it last month around the 25th. Everything beens working well but for like the past 4-5 days my speed has basically reduced to barely anything

I initially was getting about 22mbps steady (Although I paid for the 50mbps but tried everywhere around my house didn't really get up to that). But for the past 4 days the speed basically dipped to 2mbps like it's capped or something

I've tried calling airtel multiple times, First time I was told it'd be fixed in 72 hours although I later got a call that day that it had been fixed, I got home restarted it and it wasn't

Second time, I told the cc to escalate to their supervisor, Was told it'd be fixed in an hour. It wasn't

Third time, It was escalated again to a supervisor. He told me that a technical team person will get in contact with me in 24 hours, It's past 24 hours now and no call 😭

How did y'all fix this please🙏🏿

My fear was that maybe I'm even on my free month that's why it's slow and I should try subscribing for another month. Just for the subscription to fail through transfer and airtime. Had to call them again and they said they'll do it from their side😭.

I've been hearing about band locking and cell locking, if that'll help can someone put me through thanks🙏🏿

Likely you don hit 1TB limit

helinues:
You could have been arrested based on your comments if your insinuation was to be through

Lol we all know it's true try and see

Tover:
Has any one try paying with Air time for the odu sub... I think this is the best way to get the 10percent bonus using Smartcash to send Airtel time on Ur Sim, for those that want to get the 10percent bonus

This is the way i have been paying since the 20mbps plan i will first buy Airtime with Smartcash PSB to my other none Router Airtel sim to get 10% Bonus then use the Airtime buy the plan using airtime for the router sim this save 2.5k for the ODU plan and 3k for the 20mbps plan

I'm not the one my phone number is on my signature and I won't message anyone first.kindly note

Imagine person message you first without him even providing his number that's scam alert that people overlooked

viazi:
Would this work for me? Iam really considering 4getting about this free 1 month browsing thing.

It will work bro I'm using 2 sim switching in between

lilclin:
Anybody else experiencing bad network?

Me

NSEstudent:
Nairaland should enable direct messaging to avoid these impersonations.

Exactly we are in 2026 we supposed have that feature long time ago

NSEstudent:
I already wrote a message asking you to refund him until I viewed the screenshot again and realized the conversation started on WhatsApp

Do you work with Airtel though? I am asking because I have seen you ask someone for their router number. Anyone here working with Airtel should help us fix some of these problems.

This is why when someone was asking me for WhatsApp number, I requested they quote me on a dead thread. Not that the scammers will get anything from me but I'd rather waste my precious time elsewhere. The surest way to know you're communicating with the same person is if the communication was through the person's nairaland email. My email here is not active so no communication through it. Apparently Tover had posted his number somewhere on this app.

No i don't work with Airtel i know someone working there though but he wasn't aware of most stuffs. It happens to me also there was a time i was asking someone about MTN 120GB i dropped my number i got DM on WhatsApp from a scammer i got curious and ask more question that way i got to know it wasn't the real person

noobody:
He is the one

Only if he searched the phone number

He won't have fall for the trap

I think the guy is watching messages on Nairaland he capitalise on our conversation with Tover about alternative number which i asked him earlier

moremuch1:
No be morikee be that, I can bet that it’s the infamous nairaland scammer, naso he dey do going from section to section looking for who to scam

Post his account number too

Cc:noobody

Can you imagine i just enter nairaland and i just dey see my username everywhere calling scammer like wtf

Tover:
Everyone in this group should please be careful of someone called #morikee (morikee) morikee
He messaged me on January 13th, as early as 6am, claiming he could help me change my Airtel alternative number. During my SIM registration, my MTN line was used as the alternative number because my younger brother helped me with the registration.
On this platform, some people have complained that Airtel stops subscriptions when MTN is used as an alternative number, so I made a post asking if anyone knew how to change it. That was when morikee messaged me, offering to help.
He initially asked for ₦7,000, but we later agreed on ₦5,000. I sent him ₦2,000 to start, with the agreement that I would complete the payment after the change was done.
Later that same morning, I checked Nairaland and discovered that this same person has the exact problem and had also posted asking how to change his own alternative number to Airtel
I then went to the Airtel office to confirm. The Airtel staff told me to leave it as it is, since my subscription is still working. Based on that advice, I messaged morikee and asked for a refund. I even told him to keep ₦1,000 and refund ₦1,000, but he refused to refund anything.
I’m sharing this so that he doesn’t message someone else here and collect money under false claims.
Please everyone, stay security-conscious and alert.

When did i message you lol likely person use my username contact you i have never sell anything on this forum i do buy stuffs though becareful who you interact with

No surprises at all. Those that are not within these 2 states are truly enjoying Starlink.

See today's own

Segunod:
I sent a mail to them requesting for a replacement and the procedure and the response I got was that d device is out of 24months warranty. I got it directly from them

And they replaced mine of 3 years

NSEstudent:
Not sure why nairaland bots deleted all my messages and banned me

Ah why

Tover:
Zlt

The Dashboard interface looks different

Political witch hunting why cutting across corner just go after the big fish

Maybe because of congestion but i think this 2026 upgrade will bring further improvement since they will be launching next Gen Satellites

DutchNegro:
Is impossible to change your password?

Why not just change the password and push everyone out.

No be everytime you go dey change password up and down true mac filtering you go allow only whitelisted Mac address to connect and you have to turn of randomized Mac address else you no fit connect

NSEstudent:
You're not getting it. I gave him two methods. One is the filtering (it includes IP and MAC filtering) which I elaborated. I also told him to use whitelisting instead of blacklisting so that he's in control of 'allowed' devices at any point in time without the need to always find and block new ones.

The second one I didn't elaborate because that one is what I use in my ZTE MC801A. That one is to create a Guest WiFi and decide how many people can connect to it. Different SSID, password and other rules from the main SSID. In my case I disabled guest wifi users from accessing the router IP, just in case.

So I think ZLT M30 has feature to create numerous SSIDs. Someone suggested Nokia ODU has it as well. The current ZLT ODUs don't have it. What they have, including the acclaimed ZLT X25s, is filtering.

Yeah i understand i was the one that said the Nokia ODU does has the guest wifi feature

dustmalik:
I guess you are not in Lagos or Abuja. Getting this speed at 9am in Abuja is impossible.

Shiroro Niger State sometimes close to 500Mbps

NSEstudent:
I think ZLT M30 has something similar

Most ZLT routers have Mac Filter

Tover:
After checking on some settings on my app I hv seen it

Is this ZTE or ZLT?

Indirectly calling Russian people to revolt

ogaemma:
I hope their father was not a MOPOL OFFICER?
Back then mobile police officers have children in almost every state they go on special duty.
If yes, then a DNA test is needed.

You grab those MOPOL are the real Olosho Men

NSEstudent:
You have to get your hands dirty and set up filtering. You should blacklist those ones or better still, use whitelist and list only the ones you want to continue using your Wi-Fi.

This is easy with my ZTE MC801A, which is IDU for my G5F. No one else connects to my home wifi - 2.4Ghz and 5GHz. I set up guest Wi-Fi which allows exactly only one device at any given time.

That Nokia ODU have this feature too omo ZLT need to step up

NSEstudent:
Very good. Let them be getting that review until they do something about it. I never fail to mention that terrible night experience any time I call them, whether for myself or for someone else.

Do you mean most people got one month extension for that one day issue?

Yes when they wipe the subscription

Tover:
My internet is active

Then you don't need to change

seunmsg:
Less than 10% of Nigerians pay personal income tax. In fact, only those in well structured paid employment get to pay. Even at that, over 90% of them don’t pay up to 30%.

Again, it’s sad to see people ignorantly thinking their personal income taxes goes to FG. No, your taxes goes to your state government fully. Tinubu gets all the blame for the tax reform while state governors take every personal income tax. Even the VAT, states take 85% while FG takes 15%. Nigeria is probably the only country where the central government doesn’t take a dime from payroll tax. In US, Germany etc, FG takes the lion share from payroll tax. Not in Nigeria.

You always yarn rubbish all the time
