Starcomms hourly-packages is not well programmed. Once the hours expires before the end of 30 or 90 days, the remaining days left must elapse before a new subscription can be active. It sucks.
Thank God your connection is working now. Maybe you should go for the 9am-9pm or 9pm-9am plans.

@init4dmoni
In It 4 D Money how u dey?

@lynxnoon
Good to know its now activated and working. Were you ever told the reason why you have been deactivated for so long?

Has anyone been to this Nigerian social site: MyAboki Nigeria http://www.myaboki.com

There is also Twitter http://www.twitter.com

does anyone use starcomms or mtn for online gaming?
jst got my ps3 and im expexting the 360 in about a month or two and single player isn't really intresting

Guy, don't use MTN for online gaming becos of the download limit. Make use of Starcomms or Swift or Multi-Links.

One thing about these StarQuest talent shows is that after the group eventually wins the competition, nothing will be heard from them again. There will no album release and no wave-making single. The only time we'll see them is when Star is organizing a show or concert. KC presh is the only StarQuest group that has made an impact in the scene. But what about others like D'Accord and The Diamonds?

Hehehe . . . P-square 'sold a million in six days'
Lilwayne sold platinum in one month

Plz provide a web link or a newspaper article to prove your statement. Or did you get that from those 'Nigerian marketers'?

@ all
Some of these artistes pay marketers to put their singles on those pirated Nigerian music compilations. And later they will be telling you about rampant piracy in Nigeria.
Nigerian artistes make most of their money from shows and concerts.

@cabali
I visit Billboard magazine website on a weekly basis http://www.billboard.com and any single or album with platinum certification reads as "RIAA certification for net shipment for 1 million units".

@cabali
So the Nigerian marketers can only give figures of the number of albums shipped or distributed but not the number that has been sold.

@ all
In the USA (RIAA),
Silver: 100,000 copies sold
Gold: 500,000 copies sold
Platinum: 1,000,000 copies sold
Multi-Platinum: 2,000,000+ copies sold (recertified at each million-unit interval)
Diamond: 10,000,000 copies sold

In The UK, British Phonographic Industry (BPI),
Silver: 60,000 copies sold
Gold: 100,000 copies sold
Platinum: 300,000 copies sold

As long as a central body for collecting sales is not there, the marketer or distributor will blame low album sales on piracy. Some of these marketers are also involved in the so-called piracy.

In Nigeria, there is no central body responsible for the giving figures how many copies an album has sold. In the USA, the body responisble for this is the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). RIAA members consist of a large number of private corporate entities such as record labels and distributors, which the RIAA claims "create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 85% of all legitimate sound recordings produced and sold in the United States".
As long as such a body does not exist, any artist can claim to say his/her album sold this millions or that millions.

@D1KeleVra
Its 3GB download limit per month. The download limit includes streaming videos, streaming music, sites visited, music & video downloads.

@lynxnoon
Lynx, lynx. You make use of both MTN and Starcomms.
Starcomms is absolute rubbish in the day.
The two of them are unpredictable.

thanks starcomms for windows 7. . . autocad mep 2010,autocad 2010 and a whole lot of other big dls. your genie still sucks big time ! and we would all appreciate more bandwidth

LOL

I got a message from Starcomms this morning:
"Dear Customer, due to ongoing problem with SAT-3 fiber, your Internet browsing experience maybe affected.
Regret the inconvenience.
Thank you."

iBoost is only good for dial-up users. iBoost also compresses web images if it is set at higher speeds.

@DC
Mehn! I hated those cybercafe dayz.
The Nigerian ISPs should improve on their services in terms of browsing speed consistency.

Starcomms is good today, tomorrow its bad. 
MTN is good today, tomorrow its bad 
I'm getting tired and confused with Nigerian ISPs.

Am saying its ok for me, thay risk me and my laptop been found the the cafe all the, [b][/b]But now i want to sale my own Izap, cos my laptop changed ownership am asking only 12k if you are interested call me on 0706 8448 129 . i can help you configure it, call for more details

Plz make the correction on the date "Nov. 2009". And the N16000 is the 24-hrs subscription fee not the modem.

This is very sad news. I feel for Pastor Kumuyi. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

The Starcomms Genie device does not work very well with systems running on Windows Vista. Its better to get a different USB modem device or a PCMCIA or Express data card.

@lynxnoon
Lynx, how far? Happy Easter.
You ought to know that the hourly packages are not meant for people that spend very long hours on the net.
I hope the starcomms guys or fellas or whatever they call themselves come up with another good EVDO USB modem.
Maybe they should get the Huawei type used by Zain, Visafone and MTN.

@oyb
But Genie is an EVDO USB modem.
I also noticed it has compartibility problems on Windows Vista and that's why it keeps going off sometimes. I wonder why Starcomms did not stick with their Novatel wireless.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY

HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE

@hayprof
I'm sure that upload speed lasted for 2 seconds.

What the hell was dat video?
Envy's voice sounds like a 2-dimensional sinusodial wave and what is wrong wit the Eli dude?

The song is not as good as 'The Real Slim Shady'.
The chorus was sung by Dina Rae and not Jessica Simpson.
