It has a separate tv app which is quite different but similar to the mobile app.

Which one is the version for TV? Perhaps that's the one I need to install. V7 installed but only plays sound.

exactly. It's a one stop app for everything entertainment

It has quite a lot. Stremio and CloudStream add-ons work there, making those apps redundant so one can uninstall them to save space. But the thing no wan work for TV where I need it.

Let me introduce this app here. It's called playtorrio, and I've used it for a while now.
Download from 👇

Latest model refused to install in my TV but did on phone. V7 installed on TV but plays with no pictures, only sound.

I tested Airtel ODU for 2 straight months and at both times my speed was capped at 2Mbps after using exactly 1TB.

Other people's testimonies corroborate your experience as well. But some others say they used 3TB without speed reduction on this thread as well.

dustmalik:
No. I used almost 2TB last month and over 3TB the month before. It's unlimited with no FUP, as far as i know.

Moving the Airtel ODU sim won't let me do the counting of data usage. Some people did say theirs isn't capped but I guess we'd never know for sure.

they called me couple of days ago and asked why I no longer subscribe to their data. I told them how terrible my experience has been. They said they will come pick up their device, I told them to be fast about it

Come pick up their device? Lol

They used to call me any time I hesitated to sub.

Elxandre:
Airtel and MTN are both suddenly poor in my location in Ibadan. In fact, it sometimes seems like they share masts.

I used to use MTNN unlimited broadband bundle which was capped at 150GB. After you hit 150GB, they will give you 5GB daily until the period (30 days) expires.

When it was good, it worked very well. But I experienced so many downtimes. I was not a heavy data user that time as well.

My data usage increased while NCC allowed the ISPs to increase the data prices. MTNN reduced the daily data allocation to 2GB, and, I think, increased the price. I became quite frustrated. I then started subbing 200GB capped. The advantage of this one was that I could roll it over with small broadband sub if I didn't finish it in the 30 day period.

The summary is that all these networks have the ability and willingness to frustrate. We just hope they do the right thing of rendering the services we pay for.

Phones › Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by NSEstudent: 7:21pm On Sep 17

So Airtel called me this evening. They said they saw that I subscribed and wanted to ask about my experience.

I was ambivalent. They have been good in my location lately, but I didn't want to praise them because they may start misbehaving after that. Anyway, I told them the truth. I told the agent that their service in my location has significantly improved. I also told them about how abysmal the network becomes immediately I step out.

Finally, and more importantly, I warned them that any iota of reduction of quality service from them will prompt me to swiftly dump them for MTNN.

They thanked me and promised to keep improving. I interrupted when they asked me to not hesitate to call them if I witness any problems, by telling them that I won't call, I will just explore alternatives.

Here is hoping they keep their words as I kept mine by doing 3 months sub on sustained quality service.

Go to settings then extensions. Click the search icon at the top right corner and type the name of the extension you want.

For airtel I just need to get the huwaei version
I don’t need any welcome back and you are comparing portability of a Mifi to router

I heard the Huawei ODU has usable WiFi without the need for the IDU.

I doubt if that one is still in the market. Even G5F and X17M are probably gone forever.

ODU sim on Olax Mifi doing wonders
For me until flyx is mobile
I would stick with airtel ODU 22.5k compare to 30k and I can’t get the sim to move around

Omo, I like the massive battery of this router. My problem with these small MIFIs is that they are mostly CAT 4 and as such don't aggregate cells. The speed on your test is very good. If I do that with my wifi 6 mifi, I get at most 10mbs.

It takes some getting used to that's all I can say especially the TV interface, and I included the extension for live matches in the image. There is no special way, if you're able to install extensions, change home screen extensions, you're good.

It's easier and more stable for me personally compared to the other ones, including the nollywood movies it has. Airtel made me download it initially cos of their unstable network,but I enjoy nuvio now too with mtn sub.

Alright. I will give it time. Thank you.

_{I particularly like the 4K Movie/TV streaming from one of those Cine something extensions.}

Remove the spaces

I added the YouTube extension to cloudstream. Watching YouTube channels with no adverts. Currently watching Arise News.

The app is really good but I struggle to find live matches to stream, unlike Nuvio and especially Stremio, which are easy to navigate.

Is there a special way to navigate the app that I'm missing?

fiber is the best until the wire cuts and you will have to drag MTN to come fix it

Fibre has no match yet. Problem is, it's immobile and has that single point of failure you just mentioned.

Since MTNN ODU is allegedly doing well, it should be a no-brainer for anyone having to choose.

3 months from now, a New person will discover this thread and wonder why it's an Airtel thread filled with MTN content

Yea

But the diversion is necessary. Airtel has been quite awful, still is in many locations. So folks have been trying different things with Airtel, including exploring other options from competitors for the ultimate goal of enjoying stable unlimited internet.

There are other threads for internet related issues but, for some reasons, I'm only active on this one. I wish the thread had a different name but it was specifically for Airtel unlimited internet that the OP opened the thread.

This is what I am getting now sometimes It is better than this. But It starts buffering if there are multiple people connected to the wifi

You have an even better ping. I wonder why your download speeds are not going above that 50mbs. But for a 50mbs sub, 40+ speed is not bad.

You should understand that the connected devices are all feeding from that same speed cap. In that case, buffering when streaming on 4K is not unusual, in my opinion.

Many way be disappointed if after 1 or 2 yrs the investment cannot buy them phone. They will not want to participate in stocks again. I know many who participated those days in bank ipo and are disappointed with the results. It is even worse for the banks that closed shop and 2008 crash. That is why even with large population we only have like 600k active accounts on ngx.
When you tell them about stocks. They will be asking u what they will be making monthly from the investment

That what they will make monthly is the question 100% of folks ask when I tell them to try investing in the capital market. The lack of knowledge and willingness to learn are palpable, making such discussions really fruitless for the most part.

I have a Airtel Router Unlimited SIM but not the ODU Sim yet.
How were you able to subscribe to the ODU plan?!
The plan is not showing on the app for the SIM number

Get the ODU. The sub won't work in any other Sim. If you mistakingly sub ODU, you will either lose your money or spend days calling CC.

Then stay with Airtel.

Majority of us have more stability at 5k extra cost. It's worth it in our opinion

It's not me against the "majority of you". Relax.

Considering the network stability, I don't think 30k is too much. Since I got mine, I have not experienced even one minute of network downtime. Always on fire 🔥

I would have asked you to tell me where I said 30K is too much but I know you know I didn't say that; but I understand your point.

If it was MTN I subbed for 3 months, that would have been 90k instead of approximately 60k. 30K is something and even more when compounded. I want them to compete on price as well.

Believe me I like peace of mind too. I have been at the forefront of complaints of Airtel ODU woes which made us tweak a lot of things to have semblance of stability we all craved grin

I even prepared for MTN ODU by getting their 5G mifi with 9000mAh battery because I'm always on the move. I also went to their HQ here but the manager insisted no external sims and no swaps, which testimonies here seemed to corroborate.

Now Airtel is giving me stability, which I hope they give to everyone else. And if they do and MTNN remains at 30k... cheesy
