I have the huawei and x17u. X17u is more reliable. Network no dey run comot on that device
Judging by this metric - that is, retaining network - you will be shocked at the amount of signal and signal quality the ZTE G5F retains. In fact, that is the single most significant metric that makes it better than others, in my opinion.

Fwiw I haven't experimented with the Huawei model. I have had short term experience with X17U when a friend bought it. That time it gave so much problems that the guy stopped using it extirely till this day. But as I often say here, most of the problems stem from the specific Sim cards (internal or external) associated with these devices, which require fixing by Airtel. Outside that, all the devices are equal to the basic task of giving 50mbs Internet speed. But let me not digress further.

Before Airtel improved in my location, band 7 was very elusive here. I had ZLT X25 base model, ZLT X17M, and the G5F, the ZLT devices were struggling to get a single bar on all the cells and frequencies on band 7. But G5F was getting 3 bars and up to 20 SINR.

Right now, others get 2 to 3 bars while it gets full bars. Unfortunately, it's is hanging idle these days as I am primarily using X25pro, because the ZTE MC801A I used to use as IDU for the G5F is deployed elsewhere as repeater and LAN extension.

Thanks for your time bro .... I did the settings and changed it to 3g band 1 and i was getting 7mbps, this is the second subscription....may be I should call Airtel cc to complain
Call them. I think multiple calculated and persistent, straight to the point calls I have made to them must have contributed to why they have been reliable in my location in recent time. To the point that if I go elsewhere the performance is nothing like what I get at home. Long may it last.

Is the the meaning of the HBMNG
So they are more than just cement company
Yes.

I was confusing them with Holcim but Holcim was the one which sold 83% stake.

Huaxin is the current company. They have cement, pop and other building material products, including but not limited to gravel.

They are also into waste management

Ppl are saying it. A friend of mine bought it a few months ago, but he couldn’t get it to work. After about four months, I went to his office and told him I could help him set it up—i paid the ₦25k. After doing all the setup, the best speed we’re getting is just 800 kbps. Now he’s saying he won’t pay me if the speed doesn’t improve. 😂 It feels like I’ve entered one chance, lol.

I will go back to him on Monday…. I was thinking of sim swap if it wont work because my zlt works fine at his office but this zte wont work ,
Pls hw reliable is the sim swap i wll use the sim on my extra zlt odu .. do u dis will work?
This type of problem is probably not the fault of the router. Do the sim swap first. So that you can test it in other routers, including your X17U.

All my ODUs were originally registered with external Sims. That way, I am able to determine that my problem is the router or not, by putting the Sim in various routers I have. And that's how I am able to determine which of the ODUs I have touched performed better.

I think the problem your friend is having, since you comfirmed your ODU works in his place, is from that specific Sim and how it was registered. In other words, you guys have to rely on Airtel to fix the problem or get another ODU and ensure it was well registered and activated.

In any case, start troubleshooting with doing sim swap first.

If U are using this type of odu, pls come to my aid ..I have not been Able to use it, I helped a frd to paid for a month with the hope that I will be able to make it Work better but I have not been able to .. I hv changed to all the bands but still getting 500kbs , what is happening
This is the best ODU Airtel has sold, IMHO. I suppose the problem you're having is quality of cells/bands in the current location and/or Airtel's inherent problems.

My Airtel x25 (not the pro) doesn't have the option for 3G. Is there anyway to get the 3G option?
It doesn't have and there's no way since the router has no known unlock software.

It's one of the reasons I sold mine.

Don't pile up all funds in treasurybill, you are one devaluation away from loosing chunks of your money. I'm talking from experience, i piled it all in tbs and lost more than 100%, still affecting me till date, i have to start all over again. You can do 30% TB,70% foreign currencies investment.
Good advice but for the records you cannot literally lose 100% in TBs except if you lost principal and coupon. The value may decrease but definitely not by 100%.

What you mean could be that you would have made more than 100% elsewhere. The only time you lose 100% of your money market investment is if the issuer refuses to pay coupons and principals. In other investment markets, however, it's different.

Both failed. Didn't work on MTN 5G mifi and MTN 5G Router
Omo, grin

That's very strange o.


But it corroborates what Wahab said. So assuming you have X30 or paragon unlocked X25pro with IMEI change feature, you would have changed the IMEI to that of the ODU and test again.

Thanks for the test.

Yes, Mafab(Mcom) is the third entity with 5G license in Nigeria. If you recall correctly a few years back, there was a controversy over an unknown firm that NCC granted 5G license over Airtel. Mafab was actually the second firm to be given a 5G license after MTN, but because they had no capacity to deploy 5G, it took them until after Airtel had gotten their own 5G license and deployed before they could deploy, albeit very limited. Mcom is the only one with 5G SA

This is my review for does that say that it not possible to change from esim to physical sim for the MTN ODU


I went to the closest MTN office close to me , I just told them simple things

I want to do welcome back for my line

I didn't tell them if it esim or MTN ODU


I filled form, paid, within 2 hours, it has started working

I inserted it in my zlt x30 mifi ( you can DM me to get yours) , it didn't work at first

I just changed the IMEI to that of the MTN ODU , and it was blazing fast


Have attached my mtn dashboard to show that my esim has not been working
Interesting. So it might actually be that the swap portal for ODUs is not available to normal Sim reg agents.

You'd know when you select that 5G SA. You won't get any signal at all. In other countries with true 5G, you can use the same router to get true feeling of 5G.

Imagine that some 4G perform better than some 5G in most of the local ISPs here.

Mafab communications (Mcom) have 5G SA in some parts of Abuja and I think Lagos too. Their 5G coverage is very limited.
Okay. I tested most of the popular ones and none has any 5G SA bands. If you select 5G SA only on such devices as routers, you get no signal. Zero.

your phone 5G is the true 5G but you see that one on the MTN ODU it's 5G NSA. Don't expect any much improvement, it's just 4G++ 😃 and remember speed is capped at 100mbps
There's no 5G SA in Nigeria

How do you check if your MTN ODU plan is working and when it should expire. Last night, I jokingly tried to buy the ODU subscription and I got a response that I don't have enough money (ordinarily I am told I am not eligible).

Brought out my MTN ODU and plugged it in and it was working. I called the customer service to know what's up and they themselves are equally as clueless including the person who is supposedly the supervisor. I have done close to 200gb between yesterday night and this morning and it's still working although the speed is best at midnight.

I barely hit 30mbps during peak hours and it's very very frustrating though
You were trying to recharge your already bought MTNN ODU or trying a non ODU sim? Did you mean the ODU tells you you are not eligible to subscribe it? That's strange. Perhaps your message needs some clarification.

Last card to chase 30k device? You should believe either side of the story or buy it for science. That is buy and use it to know if it has cap.

I think I believe those who say it has no cap. You should too. They are selling it 30k whereas their competitor is selling 25k. If they cap it, they don't know game.

Can I use another Airtel Sim with my ODU router, it came with eSIM but there is another vacant physical sim slot underneath the outdoor unit?
All Airtel sims should work in it. You'd need to go into the menu and select external sim for it to work.

You can sub small data if you don't want to spend big on unlimited 25k at the moment until you have enough budget to sub the ODU.

If your reason is because you want to be moving around with the sim (that is removing it and inserting in a compatible router while traveling), you should swap the esim for physical sim.

Imagine a power company called Geregu Power as a big lemonade stand. To buy expensive new machines, they borrowed money from people by issuing "bonds"—basically promising to pay them back on a set schedule with extra interest.


​Recently, Geregu had to pause its business to do massive repairs on its power turbines. Because the machines were turned off, they barely made any money, and their profit crashed by 88%. This forced them to miss a big payment to their bondholders, causing a debt default.


​If you own regular stock (shares) in Geregu, this is bad news for a few reasons:
​Lower Stock Value: Panicked investors have been selling their shares, driving the price down by over 27% this year.


​No Allowance (Dividends): Companies share profits with stockholders through dividends. With almost no cash coming in, shareholders won't be getting paid anytime soon.


​Standing in Line Last: In finance, lenders get paid first. Stockholders have to wait until all bondholders are happy before seeing a dime.
​The company hopes to fixed its turbines soon and get back on track, but until then, share prices will likely stay rocky.

Worry more about the fate awaiting others who bought firsthold co at 130 or 150.... In here
I'm more worried about the bond holders. Those ones are chronic risk averse investors, and now this.

Kinda. As required by Court.
Otudeko was asked to forfeit it. But he doesn't want to sell to Otedola.. That's the crux.

But the argument is whether it will go to FBN purse as a company or fellow shareholders.
To which I think it will definitely go to fellow shareholders and not FBN, cuz it's termed "share sale".
Clearer now. I wasn't following up.

Yeah,,,I haven't forgotten. I've not been ah home.

Will do the test by Monday hopefully.
I did the MTNN 25GB freebie with one of my Hynetflex Sim cards. I inserted the sim inside unlocked X25pro and it's working. This means the ODU sim will probably work in the X25pro because MTN Hynetflex Sims don't work in other network routers.

Meanwhile, all the 4 MTN frequencies I can see here have bandwidths of 20. Only a few frequencies in band 7 and band 1 on Airtel have bandwidths of 20 and 15 respectively. The rest have 10.

The ping is still poorer than Airtel's here though. But those bandwidths must be something.

Which Opay and palmpay loan rates are ridiculous?

Have you bothered to compare their rates with commercial banks and MFBs? Please do so.
The PSBs are good but their loan rates are indeed pretty much outrageous. Unfortunately, most of the users of the loans don't study it and/or don't care about rates. The PSBs continue to thrive in the loan business because they are easily accessible.

The share-sale are being distributed to shareholders not to the company.
