Introducing 4g when 3g is working on 0.2G. Lubbish.

True talk; I just dumped Glo and MTN due their appalling slow speed for the more expensive Etisalat instead.

dustmalik:
Don't worry, in time you will understand it all.

alright

bolargeez:
I'm browsing on Samsung Galaxy s7 edge and I'm in VI. The speed is just semi fast.

how is upload faster than download


By the way, did you swap your sim?

Lagos indeed

Who c n interpret this?

JesusmyGod1:
but do u know u can use 4g on 3g enabled phone



In the world of tech nothing it's impossible, I did mine so if u need more info hola me

sharap

Interesting15:


Sorry for my ignorance.

Please how can one know if his phone is 4g enabled?

U can also look up ur device spec on Google.

bolargeez:
Who c n interpret this?

Well, according to the app, what you are seeing as 4G on your device is actually 3G, not 4GLTE.

What's wrong with this people sef?

Bringing all this things inside this buharis economy, at a tym dey know recession is in form..

So now because there is 4g, I should go and buy another phone that supports the something okwaya?

Even the predecessors to the 4g never even run pass snail speed.. Dem don bring another load to kuku kill the network speed finally finally...

Lol. But I thought one will purchase a 4G sim to enjoy the 4G LTE service. Seems that's still 3G to me.

Same ere...

Etisalat dey more stable than dem all.. I use Etisalat stream man utd match over the weekend and there was no issue of loss of connection...

If truly, Glo chose to go with FDD band 28 (700mhz), then Glo is surely going to regret it. It's a very unpopular band amongst devices meant for EMEA countries. I was hoping they would go with band 20 or 7.

In terms of band, MTN has advantage over all our LTE networks. Its band 7 (2600) is the most popular band across devices worldwide. MTN always finds a way to have advantage over others.

Bad belle Na only your belle go purge

To me glo is the worst network ever

Is IPhone 5 4g phone?

[ I am sorry to disappoint you. 700M band is the best spectrum for LTE in Nigeria MTN didn't have the licence that was why the decide to buy Visafone what is the essence of LTE when you are shooting @ 2600m? 3G @2100 will be better in terms of penetrating power when you close your door in a concrete how the signal become erratic and unstable is that what you want? Moreso it's NCC that issue licence you don't chose the one you want they sell by spectrum]

I'm willing to bet that this Glo 4G won't be faster than Etisalat EDGE

Page 4 and only 1 person has posted a speed test of Glo 4G with 1G speed? Glo na scam!

GoodSide:
i get 1.3mb as from 7pm to 1am sometimes. on normal glo 3g o
lets clap for glo abeg. fhuck spectranet and smile big thieves

Glo is trying

Why 4G ? , That should be the question everyone should ask themselves .

If you change your phone because of upgrading to 4G connection it definetly means you will change your phone when voLTE becomes popular . VoLTE simply means voice over long term evolution . What you should knno is that 4G is for data alone , when you are on a video call , images being transmitted are through 4G while voice is through 2G/3G.

The new feature of LTE which is VoLte is to enable voice transmission to be done on 4G in a synchronous form with the data .

Untill it is confirmed that Glo or any network has voLTE function I wont subscribe because I do a lot of online training that require voice and video transmission .

Glo is a bad pain in the ass

Bringer of good news. Glo is out to ruin Mtn.

Edaro:
Firstly you need to upgrade or swap your SIMM to a uSIM. Secondly you will get an LTE Phone compatible LTE 700Mhz band 28. I pity those who bought phones worth 200K and yet are only compatible with Asian LTE bands. I warned marketers when I went to Saka and Computer village to do a market survey that they should approach operators to ask them questions about their LTE Rollout they were making jest of me that since LTE is written on the phone then no cause for alarm. I will try to share with you guys tomorrow phones that are compatible with GLO LTE.

Nice one ,my phone has band 1,2,3,5,7,8,20,28

I think the greater issue/concern over Glo's reported grab/choice of the older Band 28 on the 700MHz spectrum, is: What percentage of 4G enabled phones/devices in the mainstream support that band, or likely to support it moving forward in the form of new entrants? Based on what's being published, advertised or reviewed out there, that number is very small, unpopular, and is not likely to grow.

It is also my own personal experience, because my current two mid-range but well-regarded 4G LTE phones between them support Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, and 20. I deliberately made sure of that. None is smelling the 700MHz region! So I fully agree with dustmalik Glo may indeed have an unintended problem on her hands.

Having said all that, I'm sincerely wishing that Glo is just not solely on Band 28/700MHz (which, if I'm not mistaken, is based on the earlier FDD technology, anyways,) but that the network also finds its way into any or all (lol) of the more recent Bands 3, 7, 8, and 20 which are based on LTE-Advanced technology, and into which most of the LTE world is moving.

Good luck, everyone.

rapcy:
why won't it be thesame? The difference is just the speed. So why should we have different data rates

but, i tink that of mtn is different.

Has anyone actually comfirm that the band is 28/700MHz because i just hope its not.

wristbangle:


The 3G phone cannot support a 4G LTE sim.

You are wrong 3G phone will work with 4G LTE sim.eg am using mtn ghana 4G LTE sim for my LG D410 phone. LTE sim will work with all fones for normal usage like calls, 3g browsing and others...

walahi glo don mad.instead of saying dem don increase data they give upgade service.dem come dey call that one 4G ko. lte ni

The only phone i know that works with all LTE bands is moto x pure edition. One of the reason why i dont like buying dose branded phone like at&t and others. preferable european branded phones are compatible with Africa LTE bands moreso european phones get android update anywhere in the world unlike at&t phone which you must use dia sim to upgrade android os.
My advice to anybody who want to enjoy LTE band and want system upgrade should go for international version phone or euro verison. Should also check lte band before any purchase

Man, Glo is topping the chart, gonna get a glo sim soon.
