Indeed. This is not good at all. MTN is extremely greedy. Why can't they match it with the pricing of Airtel? Even if they're not providing devices, some customers would gladly still go for the service.
Airtel ODU and MTN FiberX plans are all fixed broadband plans and they are similarly priced.

This is a router broadband plan similar to Airtel's 20mbps and 60mbps for #30k and #50k respectively.

This is what will make Airtel increase price now. Useless mtn
They won't. They're not the same thing.

If anything, it may make Airtel review their router unlimited plans (not ODU) to match those of MTN hynetflex plans.

I am also curious as to the WiFi technology this particular ODU uses.
Is the ODU not X17M?

Airtel's is better. MTN capped theirs at 150GB and a paltry 2GB per day after that. Still 30k.

Airtel is 20mbs and unstated 1TB cap, after which speed reduces for some people (because some also say they use up to 4TB per month)

I meant to say the IDU, whether it's WiFi 5 or 6.

I think that's the existing MTN plan.

These ones are new and the FUP unclear for now.

Yea. As for the new ones, I saw them on the MTN app and no details were put there as to data cap or even speed. It might be just like the ODU sub for Airtel.

Okay. Their previous IDU is good enough.

It should be WiFi 6.

Swapped my e sim to physical SIM this afternoon and it's already working on my pocket router,
Sweet grin
Please how did you do this? What was the process?
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by NSEstudent: 8:15am On Dec 11, 2025
My sub will expire tomorrow and I want to buy another ODU instead of just subscribing. I want Huawei but it's not in my location.

I will compare it with that pro version IDU they were using.

So ZLT W304VA, which they used before, is better than ZLT W154R.

ZLT W154R is not PoE capable, so they may have G5F kind of UPS for it.

Actually me too i guess they're doing it deliberately to lure us in but even the ODU is not consistent one thing I've learned
why does my airtel5g odu router shows connection failed from time to time
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by morikee: 10:30am On Dec 11, 2025
This MTN no get sense them want make it Airtel hike router unlimited plan price they always come up with ridiculous price
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by twosquare(m): 10:40am On Dec 11, 2025
I doubt any hike. Afterall, I believe we have more users on Airtel unlimited plan than MTN. I for one may not touch MTN at all because of their greedy nature, offering little at a high price.

I rather get Starlink mini if it comes to that.

I saw the video of the new ZLT odu online.....It's
ZLT x17u Odu, w154R IDU
The former is ZLT x17m Odu, W304VA IDU

How is the X17U?
When I settle down, I will compare it with X17M. My assumption is that X17M will be better. Maybe X17U is cheaper.

Just take note of your ODU number, go to any road side sim registration shop and do a SIM swap to a physical sim, then get a pocket router that has been tweaked to work with the router plans and you are good to go

A bit different, but can I convert my mtn physical sim to esim in the roadside people or I have to go to mtn service centre?
