Anyone experiencing no internet access?

geeetee:
cant happen, the technology isn't like cellular networks where there is congestion.
fibre is just internet going through wires inform of light. The quality can't really reduce. If it does its more of a naija issue not general fibre issue.
Fibre is the primary way other countries get their internet, it's just now going mainstream in Nigeria.

Exactly a single fibre cable has like 100x bandwidth than cellular

Unfaized:
Every night from 8-10pm network is stuck at about 2mbps. It's crazy how consistent this is. From 11pm till next day 7pm it's 50mbps and above.

It's deliberate something by Airtel

dustmalik:
I thought you live in Niger state. Where's home?

No, I work there. My home is in Kaduna.

dustmalik:
Airtel has turned you guys into cell tower engineers 😂

I swear to God thank God i will be relocating my Starlink back home

I will soon start enjoying this will only use Airtel as Backup

Master of betrayal politics sha

Shey them still dey sell Huawei?

NSEstudent:
I am also looking to get that Huawei.

Nobody has talked about ZTE IDU. It may have it. I will try to connect it tonight and explore it to see. So if you don't get Huawei, you can try ZTE.

Abeg if you manage to find Huawei i might need am too

Update on this

Omo e be like say Airtel don scam me finish 😭.
Resubscribed today, No change in speed at all
I've called
Texted
Back to back to back

Just the same we're working on it. At this point they should just come and carry the device because I don't even know again.

Has anyone managed to fix this? Or I should just look into MTN fibreX, I tried their form and saw my area but didn't see my street, still want to call to cross-check tho

in my own case i haven't resuscribe though i just get another physical sim run the sub on maybe try get someone that use physical sim borrow and try on your Router see if the problem still persist

Tover:
The problem is that... I used it at home and work... I am a software engineer.. so I connect clients phone and PC everytime .. the stress of going to my router page to add new device to my whitelist all the time will be a little stressful for me .. I will try is Sha ..

Try get the Huawei my next mission will be looking for 1 too

How about the iphone13 256gb

i wish i have the Huawei looks like they don't sell it anymore

Anyone0455:
Since Friday my speed no dey pass 170kbs
Last subscription was 28th of last month I never reach the 1tb
I even try band lock still the same

You don hit 1TB bro

Hullabaloon:
The Smart Box was not designed for maximum network signals. I experience same too.

Likely

I noticed that when I use the 50Mbps plan on the 4G Smartbox, I only get a maximum of 15 to 20Mbps, unlike on the ODU where I consistently get 50Mbps.

NSEstudent:
Does Huawei ODU come with 2 Power Banks?

I don't think so but i think you can use 2 separate batteries for IDU and ODU

Abkid:
The first 2 I got
I had to pay 35k because I love Huawei battery
I use one battery for outdoor and one battery for indoor and it last for one full days
Although this x17u is esim that's the issue for now although the speed I better around 200 when it start and it later stopped at 70/65

I thought even though they're esim they have physical sim support


the only problem with ZLT both Indoor and outdoor unit use same battery so it doesn't last 3hrs highest for me

Abkid:
That means I would buy another Huawei again
And Huawei is hard to see
I would order another one once am done using the the sub on x17m and hope they bring Huawei

How person go see Huawei seff i look am tire

Obviouslyblunt:
and you browse with the physical sim too?

Yes i just switch to the one i want to use

You didn't specify the size

mikkyangel:
SOLD OUT!!.....surface book 3
More to come via whtsup
..

Try dey add specs next time

enoch5553:
Yh for me it's still useable, I just can't download with it. I'm still able browse decently and also watch videos on multiple devices at 720/1080p most of the times and lowest on 480p. And truthfully that's mostly what I do with the service

I was just mostly worried that when I do want to download something I won't be able to and also because according to my info that's not what I paid for.

But it's all good, Hopefully it resets and that's the issue not something more

Maybe network is good for your side but mine turn terrible as time goes i was able stream at first but later it got worse that i can only web browse

johnnyholtby:
Check again.
It's from LEO to Project Kuiper

No it's from Kuiper to LEO sir

enoch5553:
Ok thank you so much bro, This thing has been racking my head soooooo much

After 18th I'll resubscribe and see if it'll be fine

When it happens to me last month i was so pissed cus the speed is barely usable

This people are playing with us no be same thing was earlier reported?

enoch5553:
Ohhh, I heard about that but I thought it was unconfirmed because of no official airtel info and because some people said that they've used more than that in a month🤷🏿‍♂️

I think it might be that because I'm just asking my bro and he clarified that we bought it 20th of December and knowing my usage it's very plausible that I've hit it

If I resubscribe would it refresh? Or it's monthly?

If there's a 1TB limit they should have just told me the multiple times that I've called and I would've just resubscribed. It feels like they're hiding that info ngl

I think even if you resubscribe you will still be limited to that speed until the current sub expire and the new one activated

The Amazon project is no longer Kuiper it's call LEO now

senator282:
STARLINK has been so good, but they should not relent ooo, they should never stop getting better,omo the only thing that will make me consider switching to the Amazon is if they offer verified unlimited gigabit speed without bandwidth throttling at a competitive price ,at this point i will jump.

Starlink Gigabit is launching this year

You know the one read on the dashboard resets every month

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
