I think it's from your location. Hope you've not passed your FUP?

Is it safe to reset the ODU router? This poor network issue has continued to the 3rd day. Internet only works well at midnight hours till like 7a.m

Not even close. I was getting very good speeds until it rained. From the next day everything cast.

This usually happens once in a while but mainly with the older unlimited plan. If you go to move the ODU. At that point of movement the speed dramatically increases. But after that it's back to being terrible.

What's the colour of the ODU signal? Check if it's showing green. If it's not showing green then move it to another location

Yes it's showing green and all the parameters are looking great including signal strength and other values.

It's mounted on a dstv dish so I can turn it to face any direction. I've done that countless times to no avail.

If it's showing green then it should be working perfectly unless something is wrong so maybe just try the factory reset and see if it helps

Ok thanks. I am thinking of swapping to physical sim first. Because back then on the X25Pro all it took to fix this was to remove the sim card, clean and insert back, that's if all parameters are showing Ok.

Worked for me a few times. Will try swapping tomorrow. Will give feedback here.

Good afternoon everyone information getting to me is that Airtel unlimited has been modified or is being modified. Some people are now getting 100gb instead of unlimited. When we have full information about what's going on we'll get back to everyone

This had better not be true or I go just abandon them!

Also. I hardly hit 50mbps on my 4g cat4 mifi (band 7). I hit 30mbps+ instead.
But I do so using the Airtel router I have. Is it the same for you using a cracked mifi?

Source? I doubt. I think broadband internet is here to stay. Might face price increase from time to time but it's here to stay.

Finally it's working well right now. I don't know if it was because of my initial complaint to Airtel yesterday or cause we turned the antenna one more time, but I noticed there's a new band 8 which wasn't present before and it corresponds with the improvement in speed.

I think you're right, I noticed my data has been really bad for the past 3 days. Unusable in fact, I thought it's just a Airtel doing Airtel stuff, until I saw another thread of someone complaining of 100gb fup and your post too. I decided to check my data usage and I actually just hit 99.5gb on my router.

Note that this only affect the 20mbps plan. ODU looks like the cheapest route to unlimited plan for now.

Doesn't even make sense imagine paying 30k for 20mbps capped at 100gb

It's like they want to frustrate people to go for their latest ODU, that's the only logical reason I can think of right now

You're talking about a different plan altogether because what you just typed describes Airtel 20k router ultra plan that give you 100gb FUP and then 2gb daily for one month.....it's different form the 30k 20mbps unlimited plan

I saw this somewhere about Airtel

The guy was suggesting that if you hit 1tb and speed gets throttled, you can call Airtel office to reset it, or you do it yourself.

However MTN now has 50mbps for 40k no FUP(it's not up to a month, so the fup isn't truly confirmed yet)(at least MTN claims no FUP)

If Airtel keeps doing the fup stuff, they might lose customers with need for more than 1tb monthly.

Mtn has a FUP, 5mbps after 400gb is rubbish.

Mtn and apple - 5&6😅😅

They want their fibre x to still remain relevant

Apple- no touchscreen laptop - so their iPad will keep selling
