Omo,

Make I change my mind then, I wanted to go get one now,

Thank God I saw this post,
That statement is subject to location as it is with other networks, if the network is okay in your vicinity the speed will surely be okay for your use, one of my devices is at a location with no 5G and it works well, the second is in a location where i get 1-2 bars of 5G and it works super okay. So i would advise you check before you buy and not limit yourself to comments by other people.

Another good angle,

Airtel is awesome in my area

But my fear is the 20k unlimited sub,

They might be pulling tricks to throttle it, that's my worry.

initially, this data was really good option until this past one month. They just throttled the data and made it really frustrating to use

It is actually very OK in my side. It has been in my phone on a permanent basis and I am able to stream movies and football matches without any buffering
Re: Please Guys: Which Unlimited Data Do You Use. by Hsnyii: 9:32pm On Sep 26, 2024
I wanted to get this Nokia 5g cause Starlink is quite expensive, does the Nokia variant also come with unlimited data for the first month? And as someone who games a lot is the internet speed good enough for competitive shooters like COD etc.
and also can it be paired with powerbank incase of power outages cause I heard it’s only the original Airtel that comes with power bank
thanks as you respond

Please do you have an idea how to tweak the APN settings to work with other networks apart from Airtel as I have been trying and it isn't working. The settings is a bit more complicated to other routers..Thank you

BadMaster:
I have both set of devices and I wouldn't get the Nokia instead of the ZLT X25, and here are my reasons.
1. I like having some level of control over the 4G and 5G bands that are enabled or disabled on a router, and X25 allows me to do that, but the Nokia doesn't. I recently found out that Airtel now supports 4G band 7 in addition to band 3 and 8. Unfortunately, band 7 is poor in my location, and aggregating band 7 with any of the other 2 bands doesn't help, so I permanently disabled band 7. However, aggregation of band 3 and 8 seems to be better. Mind you Airtel service in my location is extremely poor, utterly frustrating.

2. I equally prefer having the control to choose the network type to use. I mean, 4G Only or 5G NSA Only. The Nokia doesn't have these options, but X25 does. Given how terrible Network is in my location, a single bar of 5G performs better than 4G. I found a spot in my house where there is a single bar of 5G, so I permanently kept the X25 there and left it on 5G NSA Only. Whereas keeping the Nokia receiver in same spot doesn't help.

So, with the Nokia router, I'm helpless, but the X25 gives me the control I need to, at least, enjoy the service a little bit.

Before you do this, just know that Airtel has deliberately decided to make this very poor. It wasn't like this in the first two months of my usage. Na recently it became this bad

I have been using my MTN to watch TV since morning. It's not easy. I believe they deliberately decided to make it very slow. After this one expires, I will simply pay for MTN data and rest. This is a very bad business.

Worst case is that they don't even respond to your messages on social media handles. Like they ignore it completely

I'm currently using my MTN to respond to you because the Airtel couldn't open the website. I don't know if it's only me or everyone else
I am testing something with the router, which is band, i noticed that the router is locked to specific bands and i unlocked this and i am seeing some improvement.

Though i am still studying this but i would suggust you check it out.

For this, i am still trying to figure out what is the cause of this.
What i usually do is to reboot/restart the router.

If you are too lazy to always stand up to unplug from power, you can use the local ip 192.168.1.1 and look for the reboot - thats what i use.
After sometimes it, connects.

Wow!

How do you reboot, also have you tried to change the physical location of the router?

I know about the website you posted (used it with my MTN router). Changing location wouldn't change anything about it so I no longer bother. What I do is once I lose connection, I migrate to my MTN
