That means this 50MPS plan works on routers and mifis that the earlier 20MPS works on right?!

Yes.

Hullabaloon:
Converted to physical Sim yesterday and it doesn't work in my phone or MiFi. Only works in the router and my useless Smartbox router.

It works on X25 and some more portable routers (MIFIs). However, to work on mifi, you'd need to tweak it and some people do it for a fee.

emmanuelewumi:
People buying the right are not usually retail investors


If you need 20 million units on floor, currently valued at N28 billion. If a big investor tries to buy that quantity on the floor, he might end up pushing the price to N1700 on the floor.

I think the current happenings in the market whereby right offers are more expensive that the market price is deliberate

Yes. That's when it makes absolute sense. @AwesomeJ mentioned it earlier.

Peterlove11:
I feel it's mainly their unlimited ODU bundles , its having difficulty opening some websites, even gaming ping is poor. I tested it with my regular Airtel sim, put it in my ODU, and I don't have similar issues. Gaming is better and superior. With the ODU sim I was having 70-85ms ping in CODM, while with my regular calling sim, I was having 25-40ms.
I hope they improve the ODU experience. This is beyond the speed because am having maximum speed but the server

In my place, Airtel literally vanished. Just coming back from surviving Airtel. It was torturous.

pluto09:
I think the guy just doesn't see any reason why someone should go and pay to buy a right to own the share of a company when the same is available at a cheaper price on the exchange.
I equally share the same sentiment.

Exactly sir

awesomeJ:
I find it funny too.
Someone bought presco's rights at 1420 and was even asking how (s)he could buy more, at a time i was buying the shares at 1360 with instant access to the shares.


people always have their reasons.


For large holders for instnace, Rights give them the opprotunity to buy huge volumes without spiking up the share price as would have been the case if they had to acquire such volumes off the trading floor.

For retail holders though, I think it's mostly the bragging right of saying they took their rights, sort of massages the ego.

Otherwise, why pay unnecessary premiums?

This is a good enough reason.

I recall Oga Emma did it

awesomeJ:
The right to buy is the instrument itself, and that's what you can sell - that right to buy.

The right to sell doesn't yet exist in this market as far as I know.

If you do sell your rights (to buy), say you had 12,000 units on presco on qualification date, you would have rights to 2000 shares, if you sell those at N5 per share, you would get N10,000 in proceeds save any fees. the buyer of such rights would then have the rights to buy 2000 units of presco at 1420 regardless of the market price.

I see

It's funny.

The buyer of this 'right' should buy from the market instead. I mean, that's what I would do.

I think the rights issues would make sense if the price is reasonably lower than the market price.

mallamOmonile1:
What they are selling/trading is the "right to own the shares" and not the shares themselves, they already own the "right" and that is why they can sell it.

Abi the right to buy the shares?

awesomeJ:
Just like you don't need to buy dividends once you qualify for it, you don't need to buy rights too, you earn it on qualification date. The rights itself is an instrument allowing you purchase shares at a certain price (typically a discounted price). so what you're buying is the shares, the rights are automatically earned on qualification date, and hence sellable.

Also based on the terms agreed at the company's meeting where such rights are approved, those who don't take those rights automaticatically forfeit them, no unclaimed rights as with dividends. the terms often allow for such rights to be taken up by other members of the company.

That's my problem. Since most of them issued are more expensive than the current prices, I chose not to take them up.

But does that right to buy at that price also afford me right to sell it? If yes, is the proceed supposed to be credited to me?

OBAGADAFFI:
I know somebody will start an argument over this issue.

If you ignore = nothing will happen

If you renounce and trade your rights, your Right Shares will be transferred to the broker for Trading.

Note: I have been paid for most of my Right Issues traded on the Exchange.

If people can get paid for trading their rights, then it's counterintuitive for someone to actually buy it in the first place. Investors would just trade it and then buy from the floor.

I no just understand o

I ignore all the rights issues because most of them are more expensive than SP at the times.

KarlTom:
The bolded is incorrect...
Whether you ignore or renounce the rights, you made a choice.

Rights are optional not mandatory...

Also, when people say they want to sell their rights, it gets me wondering. The rights issue is an offer, which, to be able to sell it, you have to first buy it. Is it possible to sell it if one hasnt bought it? It's not like a bonus share which will just land on your CSCS.

williams85:
Here we go! The circuit board.

Very good.

As a matter of habit, I used to (still do sometimes) disassemble devices I bought, just to check the interior and rate it. It also helps me understand the device better for when I may need to troubleshoot something .

Today I changed the Rams in my laptop, for upgrade. It's simple but some of the rams are housed beneath the keyboard and removing the keyboard takes some getting used to. There are 4 slots in total.

It does not take long before you break something on these fragile devices. So it's good to get to know them. Of course I consult YouTube videos where and when necessary

Burgerstv23:
Each of them is 2500mAh , altogether is 5000mAh, 2pc that was written on the ups was just to tell you that there are 2 piece cell bat inside

I see.

williams85:
Depending on the number of users. I have not gotten more than 4hrs.

I like as una dey explore these things

So one these batteries is 5000mAh, according to the manufacturer?

I no see the PoE circuit. Abi na just the ports?

Hullabaloon:
Oh, the thing is 10000 mah? Not worth the hassle.

Thank you everyone for your input.

They wrote 5000mAh 2PCS.

Were you thinking it was 50,000mAh?

Hullabaloon:
For powering the ODU, can't I just plug it at one of the Ethernet ports at the back of the IDU?

Not sure if the IDU ports are rated 48V, which the ODU requires. Accommodating the ODU has been my concern for what you want to do.

Osyxcel gave a workable scenario. You can buy PoE adapter from Chinese retail stores for that purpose. And then buy the peripherals you can use to make the 10000mAh power bank usable.

If you ask me, there is no point doing these, especially since you said you have inverter at home. If you need a portable power bank, the UPS with the cables you will buy, will be cumbersome and will defeat the purpose. So you'd be better off buying a normal power bank.

Hullabaloon:
I am not sure you understand what I am talking about. Can I bypass the UPS and plug the IDU directly to light since I have 24/7 power. (I use the ZTE)

And if yes, it means I now have a UPS I don't use. So second question is. Can I somehow use the UPS as a power bank to charge my phones. Though I think that's very unlikely given it doesn't have any USB ports. But then in the world of tech, almost anything is possible.

I think you are right about the bolded. Even right now, it's not yet clear to me.

I will answer some.

Yes, you can definitely bypass the UPS and connect the IDU to light using a suitably spec'd adapter. I have done this. But I instead chose to power them all from the UPS.

The above is about the only part I understand. You said you use the ZTE, I use it too. I have not tried connecting the ODU directly to the IDU. The ODU has to be connected to the UPS. This is why I said the UPS (or the PoE) is not just a mere power bank. I don't see where you mentioned how you are going to power the ODU. You only mentioned the IDU here. So if you bypass the UPS and plug the IDU to power by other means, how would you power the ODU? The UPS is the connecting point between the ODU and the IDU. One of the major things it does is to provide power to the power hungry ODU.

If you somehow power the ODU and IDU by other means and have the UPS unused, you will have to look for cables that can convert the output from the UPS to USB. Also, most phones use 5V. The UPS is 12V out. So you will also need to do something about that.

Hullabaloon:
House, I have a question. I have inverter in my house, hence, light never goes off. So, do I still need to be using the router with the power bank or can I just connect everything directly to the IDU?

2. If I can bypass the power bank and connect directly to the IDU, is there a way to convert the power bank to personal use like charging phone. I know it doesn't have any USB ports but is their any sort of magic one can do? Maybe a USB Port to Ethernet converter exists somewhere. Something like that...

The UPS is not just a power bank. I am talking only in the case of the ZTE sha. I don't think you can replace it with anything else. I mean, we have seen that it needs 48V via the LAN cable. How can you replicate that with a power bank?

Burgerstv23:
Good morning, I’m experiencing “Connected, no Internet” on my Huawei ODU, and I have to reboot before it connects. How can I fix this problem permanently? Also, I’ve noticed a lot of buffering while streaming the Cricfy app. Would changing my APN or switching to a static IP help?

Those things will not help. I believe the problem you're having is momentary and comes from Airtel themselves.

That's why we often say that your location and Airtel engineers are, for the most part, the determinants of how fast your internet is at any given time.

Someone even said "Airtel can happen to you" and that's no matter what you do or what device you use.

When they stabilize generally or in your location, your speed will be stable and fast.

morikee:
The 5G no reach me yet but the 4G+ is super fast

Nice. Hopefully it sustains the fast speed.

morikee:
Na ZLT them dey sell for here the one with[b] eSIM seff[/b]

it will still perform well. Plus, you can swap the esim for external sim.
If you are in 5G area, you will enjoy any of the ODUs.

morikee:
I don join una ODU users so naso una dey enjoy omo i just dey stream 4K smoothly

Which one did you get? ZTE?

Bejust4m:
which app is this please

YouCine

fuckboys:
I get regular 50mbps on my x25pro with full 4g signal bar so I don't really see the need for the ODU.

It's for future use. Never say never.

The sub is cheaper too (except if you're already using the other way)

By the way, which of their offices have it now? It's not in my guy's location and he needs it.

Hullabaloon:
Mine didn't show me anything like that

Maybe it's for new users. Also, I downloaded it from the TV itself using the Downloader browser.

The good thing is that the live streams seam to be free. The SS channels are stable too.

Rokynwastar:
.

The VIP is only for movies and shows. Sports channels are completely free.
Been using the sports channels for months now after VIP expiration.

Cool.

I didn't uninstall it. Will it today during matches.

Hullabaloon:
Nope. Not yacine. And it's not on play store. Google it

Downloaded on TV. It says I have VIP for 3 days. Which means I might need to pay after that.

williams85:
From this pix, output power LAN is 48v. This is ZTE PoE.
The LAN in of the PoE gives around 3-4v( which is normal with all LAN.
The WAN of ZLT( which powers the ZLT ODU) gives out about 24v.
This is why ZLT IDU cannot power ZTE ODU.
And if you try to connect the ZLT IDU to ZTE Poe, it will fry the POE cos it gives out 24v which the Poe LAN IN cannot handle (3-4v)

The power adapter is 12v but the modifications on the boards can boost the voltage to 24v-48v.

I see

My bad.

I forgot the UPS specs, apparently because I have permanently mounted it on the wall. When I was reading those reviews you guys made, I was thinking only about the power adapters and the DC OUT.

Omo, and one of my acquaintances was talking about using the ZTE ODU with Huawei IDU and vice versa if he eventually gets it.

nurez305:
that's exactly what will happen to SIM that was swapped. You will get SIM not found or what did you think will just make SIM inside your phone to start telling you SIM not found

When the Sim card is physically damaged, it will not be detected by phones and will show those errors.

williams85:
If you are using ZTE ODU, you must use the poe that it can with. But ZLT ODU is powdered from the IDU WAN port.
Warning ⚠️ Never try interchange ZTE and ZLT ODU power source.
It will end badly, I'm talking from experience.
ZTE ODU is powdered by 48v while ZLT is 24V.

Interesting...

Burgerstv23:
I used ZTE powerbank to power the ZLT and it fryed/burned🔥 both the ZLT IDU and ODU. I'm waiting for Airtel to come and pick it up because they said after 3 months of no subscription they'll come and carry ur ODU 😂

I read these earlier with curiosity but couldn't comment, waiting to get home to properly check mine. I use the ZTE ODU (G5F) and its UPS came with a 12V adapter. I was curious because I use the UPS to power the IDU I am using now, which is ZTE MC801A, which I am 100% sure is powered by either a 12V adapter or its UPS, which is also 12V.

To further reconfirm, I just used a multimeter to read the power cable from the adapter and also read the voltage coming out from the UPS (DC OUT), which I use to power MC801A, both of them read about 13 - 14V; which means they are indeed 12V as rated.

The UPS is also 48W, which is a power rating and not the unforgiving voltage rating.

My hypotheses on what happened to your routers:

1. The ZLT device (I don't have it; I have not seen it up close) might be rated significantly differently from the ZTE ODU - say the purported 24V or perhaps something lower like 6V.

2. There might exist different polarities between the two devices. This is unlikely as most DC adapters have the outer terminal of their plugs to be negative and the inner parts of the plugs to be positive.

3. Maybe you guys got a different version of the ZTE ODU from the one I got.

4. The issue might stem from trying to use the ZLT IDU LAN port to power the ZTE ODU and not from the voltage difference.

nurez305:
I am telling you, and you will see complaints like this in their comment section.

So bad

These ones could be that the Sims damaged and need swapping.

The problem is when they try their numbers and they ring and even get picked up by someone else.

nurez305:
is not a fresh registration, it is SIM swap and I also got the success message of the SIM swap.

Infact I checked the balance of that SIM and it shows someone is using it because there is loan of 200 airtime and the balance is 0.39 naira.

Airtel really need to work on their tech.

Also tried reading people's complaints on Airtel twitter page and you will see complaints related to this

If you checked the screenshot, the first swapped success message is for the wrong number which was in the morning around 10am

The second message is the one for my number which he did it again and I got the success message not quite long this afternoon. You can see the time.

This is actually very concerning. What if the owner had SmartCash?
