Hi, just wanted to confirm is this fibre?

It is not Fibre

It is 5G broadband

The Plot...

dustmalik:
You pay N25k for the subscription, not the device. The device remains the property of Airtel.

That's how your current MTN FibreX also works, but nobody ever comes to retrieve the router anyway.

If they are coming to claim property they will refund that 25K for subscription

fuckboys:
a lot of people are already using it on this thread.

You’ll pay only for subscription and an installer will come and install it in your house.

You’ll sign an undertaking at the Airtel office that the ODU is not your property but the property of Airtel and when you don’t subscribe for 2-3 months straight Airtel has the right to come and collect the ODU back from your possession.

Will they refund the money you paid for it when they decide to come and take back their property...?

Into my third month of FibreX °°°

Last month's sub was free 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼😏

Yet to experience any downtime ⚡️⚡️

Steady Blazing 🔥

dustmalik:
It's good that you are enjoying it and it's been consistent. What I was trying to say is that, Nigeria, as it's today, is not ideal for Fibre. Overseas, you can't just wake up and start digging anywhere you like. You must take permission from your local council office, which has all the plans and schematics of the location. If you try it without their knowledge, you will be arrested and prosecuted.

But in Nigeria, anybody can just decide to dig anywhere and end up destroying fibre cables and nothing happens to the person. Service providers will then have to mobilize to that location to carry out repairs or change the damaged cables. Sometimes, it takes weeks before they're able to trace and replace these damaged parts.

So, just pray that nobody damages the infrastructure that supplies your location. These things happen very often. Fibre is the best internet connection, but the most vulnerable in Nigeria, because of our laws.

I will update you again next month sire 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

dustmalik:
Of course, give it some time. As long as it's fibre, you will experience extended downtimes. Sometimes, for weeks even.

Another month gone.. Just resubscribed ✨️

Three months in and I am yet to experience any downtime 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

☹️

Tholley:
Got this particular Huawei router as well. Do you use any backup/power Bank with it. The one that came with my old 5G router didn't work with this. Any recommendations will be fine.

Currently using the powerbank (UPS) that came with my MTN 5G broadband, it works quite well.. 👍🏼

HeavenlyBang:
I have MTN and Airtel wireless routers and experienced more downtime on those than FibreX.

All the times MTN network disappears counts as downtime. Airtel was even worse.

True, I have experienced even more downtime on their wireless devices. Happened quite frequently when I was using MTN 5G broadband. The Network just decides to go off from time to time.

A month and about two weeks into my FibreX life and I am yet to experience any downtime 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Even under heavy rain my FibreX still blazing
