Is it just me or does ntel 4g suck at streaming? With a speed of approximately 20mbps it still buffers when streaming YouTube videos at 360p. In fact I only stream without buffer at 360p when I get above 30mbps. On MTN on the other hand with just 10mbps I can stream at 480p without buffer. With 17mbps on MTN I can stream at 720p. Looks like ntel network is only good at surfing and downloading which is very fast, for streaming u need to get around 40mbps before j can enjoy it. I don't know if any one else experience this.

Yep, very right. It's poor for streaming.
I can't believe the 4G network load on Instagram pictures.
Never ever seen i started using Instagram, have I experienced such.

All good. All ISPs have their Pros and Cons. Weigh them before making a decision.

Looks like they are throttling that sh!t. Impressive download speed, very poor for streaming. Mobdro is a no go area when using ntel

My internet stopped 18 hrs to d expiry time

Because all plans expire at 12am. So even if you pay at 11:50pm. By 12am, that is 1 day. The next midnight. Expired. Don't expect it to reach 11:50pm the next day. That was what happened to you

Well well, it's finally working for me too now. Sim was in my S7 and Customer care called several times to help me fix it but we were not moving forward. Gave up around 4pm with intention of abandoning the sim. Decided to put the sim in an iPad mini around 11pm and voila! Internet finally.

Even though their network isn't perfect now, the customer service is top notch.

used it yesterday in magodo, 480p youtube video never buffered. Mobdro streaming was smooth also but surprisingly, downloading a file from mega was going at 100kb/s which is underwhelming.

Update: my spectranet got expired today so I decided to go back to Ntel, and I must say I am very impressed. It's still very fast and streaming is great now. YouTube at 720p? No problem. Mobdro streaming? No problem. I'm glad ntel are listening and fixed their streaming problems. Ever tried it on ps4 though but I'll try it this night.
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by lastburn(m): 11:12am On Sep 29, 2016

Unfortunately it still doesn't sign in to PSN. Disappointing. Spectranet and etisalat sign in with no issues.

Mhen i subscribed for Specranet for the first time since March. And I'm getting below 1Mbps speed, even with 4bars. Take a look below.

Spectranet can be frustrating sometimes. I also use to get around 0.2-0.7mbps sometimes. Although that's with 2 network bars. The highest I can get in my hood is 5mps. I just keep restarting the modem until I get like 1-2mbps. I know there are locations when u can get between 15-20mps. The thing I like about spectranet is that it has no problem signing into PSN while ntel never signs in to PSN.

Mhen that one go loud oh. U might spend months downloading at that speed. Unless maybe u take it to somewhere with better signal and speed. Spectranet ain't that good but there are some regions with strong signal where u can still get up to 10- 15mbps.
