no o, over a month now.

before now airtel was the worst network in my area, 0.00-4.00kb/s.

Op didn't say anything about 3g or 4g. Moreover on my former phone without 4g capability, I still get up to 8mb/s on my Mtn. Look I know Mtn have issues right now, but no denying they have the fastest internet together with etisalat. Airtel dey learn.

that's in your location, in mine, MTN is the worst of them all. Etisalat was my favorite until this surprise from airtel lately.

Well that's OK if u think 2mb/s is fast enough. At least at peak locations Mtn can go as fast as 25mb/s which I don't think airtel can even get half that at its peak locations.

have you tried this airtel night pack before ?

I'm not comparing MTN and airtel, the experience I have with MTN in my location is bad, even during call you have to come out of the house to get better network coverage. I envy your hood.

ok

Funny

you will browse unlimited from 12 am to 6 am (when the internet speed is very fast) for just N500 or N300


please explain that time base plan for me ;
if I load N300 and I subscribe to the 1 hour unlimited plan . if I exceed the time limit. will it auto renew immediately with the remaining N150 or will they charge me for browsing with the N150 ?

Bros your Internet speed meter reads at Mbps not MB/S. If you convert your 18mbps it will give you roughly 18/8=2.25MB/S
which is approximately 2mb/s

Once it reaches 1hr it will stop connecting, and your remaining money will be just save

Yes, internet speed are measured in mbps (megabit per second). I believe op was also talking about megabit per second which is what speed tests app show u. When I said I get 18mbps on my Mtn it doesn't mean I download 18mb of file in 1 second. Internet speed meter doesn't alwast read in megabyte per second. 18mbps is very fast, at least for Nigeria since we don't have true LTE yet.

etisalat still the best for me

38mbps and counting

paulworld:

5 gb for just an hour during the day time



I wonder how the speed will look like at night for 5 hours
I guess I might download more than 100 gb then

bross your lie carry weight oh 5gbfor under one hour abeg suffry lie

For me i normally usee etisalat chat pack which is 150 to download unlimited for a week

those are merely packet tests, not actual download speeds. anybody can get those.
download files & check, if your speed match those, then they're real.

Airtel is freaking slow.
