What Is Wrong With Airtel Network Lately?! by Kelklein(op): 1:57pm On May 15
It's been terrible lately, even in city centres of FCT..

It s difficult to stream with.

It's difficult to use with a Google Map. It told me GPS signal lost for more than 10 times over a distance of just a 3km trip..

It can't connect on Zoom, Zoho, or Meet online meetings

Video calls is a no-no.. it lags more than 10 times for a one minute call..

I almost lost an online interview today because it just won't connect even when I had over 30Gb of Data balance. I had to quickly switch to another network that was what saved me.

It's been this way for months non end now🤔🤔

Are they aware the network is this terrible around the FCT..?!

Mods pls take this as far as possible.. let it get to them

MTN own na to suck data anyhow
Re: What Is Wrong With Airtel Network Lately?! by PlasmaTV: 3:43pm On May 15
Airtel will just go blank. Sometimes for hours.
You won't be able to browse or call.

It's quite disheartening mehn.

For MTN their own is to be sucking data. Endlessly. Heartlessly.

Re: What Is Wrong With Airtel Network Lately?! by ReacherSaidNoth: 3:53pm On May 15
They're so poor, worst is when you want to stream a match and you're seeing 9kb/s speed. Incredibly annoying.
Re: What Is Wrong With Airtel Network Lately?! by happney65: 3:55pm On May 15
They went off for about a month sometimes last year in my area. As in network just pafuka. Went to their head office twice to complain

Later on this year went off now for about a week. Done that like twice this year again.

They are just doing like werey these days. But when they are stable,they are the best. I just cant leave them alone.. grin grin

Not only FCT, the network is just terrible for sometime now
Re: What Is Wrong With Airtel Network Lately?! by Lukuluku69(m):
It has been terrible for about a month and half now if I remember clearly.

Videos keep buffering.

Voice calls will drop anyhow

Video calls is a no-no

WhatsApp calls? 10 minutes call and you will be forced to say "hello, hello are you still there for more than a hundred times...

And to think Airtel is my primary line

I have abandoned the Everywhere you go people for my Internet needs now, dem too dey zap Airtime/Data and I learnt they are not any better. I use them for Voice calls only...

Re: What Is Wrong With Airtel Network Lately?! by TheLordofHost: 4:14pm On May 15
I thought it was just me that noticed this. For over one week now in Abuja no Airtel network. My data has just been wasting away. The network only comes on around midnight to 3 a.m. Crazy shii

Monitor your data usage and compare it properly.

Reset your phone's data usage counter every time you buy a new bundle, then track usage until it finishes.

If the total usage does not roughly match what you purchased, then you can start questioning it.

I thought this is happening only in MTN. Honestly I guess it is worse with MTN. So annoying BC there is never a time it can be used for anything online.
Re: What Is Wrong With Airtel Network Lately?! by Maj196(m): 4:22pm On May 15
Airtel is terrible, of not for their cheap My Area that gives me better data rates. I for don break their SIM.
Re: What Is Wrong With Airtel Network Lately?! by kpankpangolo: 4:25pm On May 15
Airtel has been a nonsense network since time immemorial. For two years now, I’ve regretted purchasing a SIM out of necessity.
Re: What Is Wrong With Airtel Network Lately?! by 3kay945(m): 4:26pm On May 15
Why won't the networks be doing rubbish,? When they know we have clowns at helms of affairs.
