Yea cheesy

But the diversion is necessary. Airtel has been quite awful, still is in many locations. So folks have been trying different things with Airtel, including exploring other options from competitors for the ultimate goal of enjoying stable unlimited internet.

There are other threads for internet related issues but, for some reasons, I'm only active on this one. I wish the thread had a different name but it was specifically for Airtel unlimited internet that the OP opened the thread.
Na the trial error cause am cus one way or the other Airtel will always frustrate person na why you go dey find this thread to see what's up me the reason i left Airtel was that 1TB cap cus i dey always use more than 1TB monthly

Ever since I left airtel, I've had peace of mind.
Since I started using MTN ODU, I have never called or chatted with their customer service. It has been plug and play for me, without any need to tweak the box.

With Airtel, my first three months were good, but I eventually had to tweak the box to get the best out of it. When Airtel is good, it is really good, but when things go wrong, it can be frustrating. Airtel is cheaper, especially with SmartCash, and their customer service response is good, although they might not always be able to fix the issue.

Airtel might be working perfectly for some people. Both are good, but based on my experience, MTN is the best.

Been a while here.

So today I went to go visit a friend using the Airtel ODU & damn..🤦🏾‍♂️

2 ODU's, fully subbed yet can't go beyond 300Kb 🤦🏾‍♂️

Why can't it be plug n play?

I think at this point the FG needs to step in on this Airtel thing coz this is just ripping people off.

Please I'm interested in this. How can i go about it biko ?

If you have a smart tv, I can guide you on how to setup cloudstream with the best addons. I stream 4k everyday with no hassle, or nuvio if you want 4k football too.
Re: Airtel Unlimited Data Thread! Best Data Plan In 2024!! by dazzy4real(m): 5:49pm On Sep 14

Airtel na scrap. The only thing I need to confirm now is whether I can use MTN ODU sim in their normal 5g router. The moment I am sure of that, my Airtel will go on a long vac.

Just resubscribe to the MTN ODU 50mbps speed and I must say it’s just as good as the 100mbps omoooo, and I also just found out you can set it to auto renew even though they don’t have the option to subscribe 3 months once but if you load to r airtime there just turn on auto renew and you’re good.

This router has 3 versions, base model x25, the x25pro and the new x25 max 2. Which one do you have?

Of all 3, only X25pro can so far be flashed with a new firmware to unlock it. As such, it's the only one likely to work. Being unlocked alone may not be enough to make it work with the MTN ODU sim. If the unlock software ui has a feature to change the IMEI, as with that of some paragon unlocking firmware, then you're in luck; else you may need to look for alternative MTNN routers or get X30 from Wahab.
Thanks for the recommendation

Good for you, and count yourself lucky that you have a good network in your area. It’s true, Airtel can be very frustrating sometimes; it can really get on your nerves.
I got the MTN ODU, and that’s the speed I’m getting. But I don’t think MTN is for me because the network is very weak at my office. I’m getting a maximum download speed of about 10 Mbps there, while at home, I’m getting the full speed.
MTN is expensive but they are the best

I was on an MTN ODU thread on Twitter and while they praised mtn for being better than Airtel, they said FiberX is the best internet connection you can get for yourself. That it's even better than Starlink

fiber is the best until the wire cuts and you will have to drag MTN to come fix it

Fibre has no match yet. Problem is, it's immobile and has that single point of failure you just mentioned.

Since MTNN ODU is allegedly doing well, it should be a no-brainer for anyone having to choose.

MTN ODU for me. Reason? Mobility (you can't teach that).

I added the YouTube extension to cloudstream. Watching YouTube channels with no adverts. Currently watching Arise News.

The app is really good but I struggle to find live matches to stream, unlike Nuvio and especially Stremio, which are easy to navigate.

Is there a special way to navigate the app that I'm missing?

It takes some getting used to that's all I can say especially the TV interface, and I included the extension for live matches in the image. There is no special way, if you're able to install extensions, change home screen extensions, you're good.

It's easier and more stable for me personally compared to the other ones, including the nollywood movies it has. Airtel made me download it initially cos of their unstable network,but I enjoy nuvio now too with mtn sub.

Alright. I will give it time. Thank you.

I particularly like the 4K Movie/TV streaming from one of those Cine something extensions.
