Resubscribed this morning and all I've been getting all day is 'connect to Internet'

I've rebooted both ODU and IDU multiple times. Now trying to call CC but not getting the option to speak to a rep
it’s under 1. Just listen for for the option under one , you’ll see it.

Man this Airtel has been serving me and it's been such a good alternative to my starlink. I even had to sell off the starlink and used the 500k for other projects.

I have no reason to complain for now, whenever there is a downtime, it only lasts a few hours. But for most of them all you need to do is band unlocking and locking and you're good to go.

Have you checked if your your sub is active

Exactly. I must commend Airtel for the ODU.

You aren't a heavy user or maybe you don't experience the evening throttle

Is it only me that's experiencing 200kpbs on Airtel since last week?
we are together bro. I have call and message them on twitter tire. In fact I don give up

The funniest thing is that, there is strong 4g and 5g network in my area. Also I have not use up to 100gig not to talk of 1Tb, they just decided to take their network anyhow.

Very bad

I watch YouTube in 720p even during that downtime, just lock bands. I wouldn’t consider YouTube a heavy use case though.

My average monthly internet usage is 600gb tops. Including streaming movies and football games. Since my current sub I haven't experienced the usual evening downtime.

Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by Hullabaloon: 12:47pm On Feb 24
House, is it possible for ODU to have 5G but normal sim doesn't?

Cos I'm seeing 5G on my router. Got excited, rushed my normal Airtel line, put it in my phone, set phone to 5g yet nothing showed up.

Abi the one on the router no real?

Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by Runsboi(m): 12:51pm On Feb 24
My Ogas Wehdone!

Pls can you kindly enlighten me on how this extending connection with another router works?
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by lilclin(m):
This is a pixel phone. Pixel phones doesn't support 5g in Nigeria but it started supporting 5G on their beta program which haven't gotten to stable builds yet

I just checked online and you are correct. By the way, how were you able to deduce I use a pixel? What gave it away?
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by lilclin(m): 3:40pm On Feb 24
I use pixel too 😁

I don’t think everyone experiences the evening throttling. In my opinion, Airtel is currently the best option in Nigeria. Getting 1TB for ₦25,000 is a great deal if you ask me. I personally use up to 1.1TB every month, both at home and at work, and my neighbours even enjoy my free Wi-Fi. 2 TVs and more than 4 phones connected at the same time, all running smoothly with little or no issues—at least until my 2.4GHz developed a fault.
One of my colleagues uses Startimes internet, but I no longer need to go to his office to upgrade or download files; I can do all that comfortably from my own place. That’s why I’m always surprised when I see people complaining that 1TB for ₦25,000 is too small.

The Only downside for me na that 1TB and the evening throttle and some occasional downtime apart from that everything is ok

Yes maybe your phone 5G uses unsupported Bands
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by lilclin(m): 9:26pm On Feb 24
Nobody should even be complaining about the 1TB FUP. It's a very good deal for just 25k
