Is there anything I can do to increase my browsing speed, everyday from 5pm-9pm (sometimes more longer than this), this is the speed I get. I did SIM swap of my Airtel ODU number to physical sim and put it in X25 5G ROUTER. The ODU is a no for me because once light goes off, the router becomes useless.

Likely unstable when doing the readings even on video stream quality it might buffer or might be a glitch in the readings

I see

Hello Everyone

For the Airtel unlimited, is it can it work only any router, like zte or Huawei

As I know that mifi doesn't work

NSEstudent:
3G is trying tonight.

I'll be renewing again soon cos I took a one month break. @pheranme9, what's the advantage of subbing with your services?

Videos has never buffered since I got this ODU. I stream on 1080p.

Please what phone are you using?

Suffered from this alot. Speed drops significantly at night and I can only streamed on low resolution.

Luckily, last week I started getting 5G signals and have locked to the cell. Consistent speed even at evening hours when network usually goes bad.

I have been damned lucky. Even my x25 pro is getting consistent 50Mbps+ speed unlike before when I could only manage 17 or 20Mbps max on it.

What do you mean by "locked to the cell"?

Like to make it stable at that particular point?

Tecno pop 10, Infinix Note 5

Not 1080P Boss something like 1440P or 2160P

You go need to sub the 45k own

NSEstudent:

No, you don't need the 45k plan to stream 4k files. On my first subscription, I used to watch 4k movies with sizes ranging between 30 to 48GB. The problem is not really the size of the file, but the bitrate of the file. A 40GB file might have a bitrate of 49 or 50Mbps, which is the full speed of the plan. If you live in a location where network is excellent, you will enjoy streaming.

However, I have observed that Airtel network has become terrible lately. Once it is 7pm or thereabout, the network becomes difficult to use for streaming, until around 10 to 11pm. I am specifically talking about streaming 4k files, cos I don't watch 1080p (FHD) files.

sell your odu give me.

Honestly, YouTube videos immediately loads the 4k resolution for me

NSEstudent:
So, tonight, even switching to 3G only is exactly unhelpful.

please which of these ports should I use to connect my X25pro as an IDU to the ODU?

It would have been easier if one of the ports is labelled WAN/LAN.

Which version of the X25 is this though? My normal X25 has 3 ports.

I guess this should be X25 pro of Max, in that case you will need to login to the root user interface and find where you can switch the operation mode to cable/wired broadband. If it is anything like ZTE MC801A, that menu will also let you assign WAN to any of the two LAN ports.

Someone said the X25 pro works without any manipulation, using the bottom port as WAN. So you can start by trying that.

mine is the x25 pro. Okay I will give it a try.

The x25pro wifi coverage is more than the IDU, and supports wifi 6.

Yea. Myself and at least one other user on this thread are using ZTE MC801A as the IDU, which is a Cat 6 router.

Is it true that fiber x is faster than starlink? I have been seeing reviews that fibre beats MTN fiber beats starlink?

Secondly would you choose Airtel ODU over Fibre x? And reasons

Is there a way you can actually lock bands on Nokia fastmile beacon 2?

from people's experiences, fiberEx beats Airtel ODU. Also, tech wise MTN fiber ex which is wired and optical should beat Over the Air Airtel's ODU

Fibre Internet will always beat satellite (e.g. Starlink) and Wireless Broadband like 4G/5G, which Airtel use for their ODU.

One shortcoming I can see, which is probably peculiar to Nigeria, is reliability. When hoodlums tamper with the cables, internet go commot for a long time.

By the way, the FibreX sub that would beat Starlink for speed should be the higher end subs and not the equivalent of Airtel ODU, which is 25k for 50mbs. But Fibre has very low latency and should be very usable when it's available, even the 25k cheapest sub.

if you're willing to pay for it, fiberx beats starlink. Even 5G network will beat starlink.

However the problem starts with the price. 200k a month for 1gbps fiberx plan which is four times the cost of starlink

Am seeing ODU and stuffs
Am not a tech guru bikonu
Someome should invlolve me…. Which router are you guys using
Where can one purchase it

Go to official Airtel office to request for it.

NSEstudent:
You go need to sub the 45k own

what most people don't understand is that, it is not about how fast your internet is, for you to stream higher quality videos but how well the streaming platform server. I stream YouTube 1080p without buffering with just 5mbps, same 5mbps might not be about to stream a video of 480p on another platform with poor server.

With anything from 20mbps, it is enough to stream without buffering on any good platform. Samething apply to iptv.

Yes the 25k subscription is all you need except Airtel is very bad in your area and you can't get up to 5mbps.

There are some platform that 1gbps will still buffer every few seconds

You're right. The internet speed still plays some parts though but I have wtinessed differing results from different platforms on the same speed.

You are very correct. I was getting 60mbps on mtn yesterday normal data, yet I couldn't stream premier league match at decent quality without it buffering. Tried another app and it was streaming well on HD resolution but no English commentary. Frustration wan kill me.

Thankfully nepa brought light and I switched to DSTV

why don't you install dstv stream on your phone and register with your dstv uid no. You will be able to watch dstv on your phone
