I redeemed one of my booked sims today, using on lenovo A2010 and there's just one bar here, speedtest shows 2.72Mbps download and 0.26Mbps upload, slower than swift that I want to switch from, though I'm streaming without buffering, at least for now. I'm almost convinced to go for this, signal bar is 1, fluctuates higher to 3 at times.

Are you still using ntel?



That's good to hear, yes am still using Ntel; I get one bar in my parlour and two to three bars in the bedroom but it has to be hung up high. Your problem from what you say might be erratic signal strength which may in turn cause flunctating speeds.

However, the final decision is urs to make. All the best

Must be the location. I get 1-2 bars in my house snd get speeds of betwen 20-30mbps download and 8mbps upload steadily. When I go to some locations woth 5 bars I get 7mbps download and 20mbps upload.

Yes I am. It's been decent for 2 days, meaning 2-3 Mbps

That 1 bar will be problematic. That's the situation for me at home too. At work is where I get fullbars.

It's a gamble for u o. Hope u have a fallback plan for their downtime

It's what I've observed. They are like Glo. Location dependent. Some places good, some crap

They actually confirmed there's no service in Yaba so what I'm getting is probab;y feeds from Surulere, Bariga and 3rd mainland bridge. I don't know if their modem can be connected to their antenna as I got full bars at the penthouse. An antenna will surely boost speed.

I'm just particular about ntel because I've followed them before inception and it is cheaper than swift which gives us 125gb for 25k and the charges are like double which is now draining faster than even the 60gb they used to offer for the same amount

I got to their office at Ikoyi to start my gamble o, no router, no mifi. I went to surulere, same. their twitter handle just told me they are out of stock and don't know when they will restock.

Please do you know where I can get a compatible 4G router?

Isn't B310s-927 the old spect/Swift routers? Unlocked mine. No Ntel reception. Well, didn't try it recently. However, when i did... Terrible.

No boss, it's the new one u see on their webpage, it's more recent and works with ntel, that's what I use. The one u're referring to is the B5172s-925

When i said NTEL is not ready for the market some folks are arguing with me.

I have not been able to use my NTEL sim due to poor coverage and compatibility issue.

Now Etisalat, GLO and MTN is here.

Below is Etisalat LTE on the same HTC M8 not working on NTEL.

Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by pheesayor(m): 3:59pm On Oct 20, 2016
lucky you, your band is compatible with it, my note 2 LTE is only compatible with mtn from my checks. And ntel is fast where they have full coverage, they just need to expand services, so many NITEL base stations are just wasting away
And your etisalat unfortunately is not unlimited

NTEL issue is more than Band.

I have to wait for months before my IPad could work in NTEL.

Ntel 4G LTE supports bands: 3(1800MHZ) and 8(900MHZ)

Etisalat support band 3(1800MHz)

NTEL needs to work on their Coverage and device compatibility issues.

Most device NTEL claimed are not compatible with their Network due to BANDs, are currently working on other Network with similar Band with Ntel.

ETISALAT currently use the same Band 3 with NTEL.

Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by pheesayor(m): 1:25pm On Oct 21, 2016
ok I get you. I had to buy a lenovo A2010 just to use NTEL when my note 2 LTE refused to work. True they need to expand else others will render them irrelevant as their edge which is LTE is now becoming rampant
