Hey man, how does adding the dns work?

It's basic DNS. Either that or just download the 'Savage VPN' app from Play Store. When you connect to ntel then.open Savage VPN. Choose a location. US or UK and browse. Works good.

For PC, you have to go into connection area. Identify the WiFi adapter, right click. Properties, IP v4, modify then set DNS there.

Primary: 8.8.8.8
Secondary: 8.8.4.4

I'm sure you can find something through google that will explain better.

Exactly what made me stop using it.

Swift has poor coverage in my area but still very fast.

Mhen i have to hang my swift mifi like Spiderman for me to get full bars. Good thing that the range of the mifi is impressive. The new one. And there is a socket not too far away from there. So basically leave it there and use. Lol.

Anyone using Swift around the Oshodi/Isolo axis?

Need to know how it performs around here before I get the sim.

Checked the coverage map, and it shows Fair Coverage Signal.

Edited:

Went ahead and got it, performance is alright.

Thanks a lot Stan , it seems a lot better. I can't say much bout the speed 'cause recently my network bars dropped to 1/5 but with the DNS it's a lot more stable didn't disconnect like it used to. Really appreciate it man. Frankly, apart from downloading large files at a cheaper price, Ntel is W.A.C.K.

Ntel is actually wack... Did their unlimited night sub and I managed to use 13gb grin... Got around 1-1.9mbps but it wasn't stable like that even with the D.N.S...
Sometimes the speed will just go as low as 0.0kbps and rise after some seconds

Exactly, it goes off and on...but its better for me now with the DNS. Gamed online for 2 hours without disconnection.
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Nobody: 5:56pm On Apr 11, 2018
Ntel used to be damn fast I wonder if the problem is that they can't support all their users at the same blazing speed or they purposely just throttled everyone to 1MB/s - 3MB/s.

It's probably a lot of both.

In any case, ntel has carried or communicated it on its website for a long time now already, that the offered/guaranteed d/l speed for regular/unlimited subs would be 10 Mb/s (~ 1.3 MB/s.) So, speeds such as 3 MB/s are in fact a bonus on ntel, especially on-peak. IIRC, ntel settled firm on 10 Mb/s max after it finally dropped that throttling cum 3 MB/d shenanigan.

I did exactly what Stanley08 wrote, Went to my Wi-Fi adapter, clicked on it,selected it's properties then clicked on Ipv4 and added the DNS settings. Ntel is unpredictable, it might just be that their service got better but all I know is that after adding the DNS, I was able to game online for over 2 hours consistently without lagging or being sent off the game. last time I tried it, I watched as my player stood still and received a close up headshot.

It's probably ntel's unpredictability

Stanley08 should edit the name of this thread jare. The thread has clearly evolved into something different from its original purpose. Should be given a broader nomenclature.

Just noticed the thread name change. Better!

Ntel could have been Nigeria's top Internet service provider but they messed up big time.

Best analogy I've seen in a long time. grin

Even more unfortunately for ntel and fortunately for our lives, traffic lights are more predictable and reliable.
