I got an ntel sim. How long will it take before I can get service on it? It's been about 6 hours now. I've tried it on my mifi and my phone, both of which support the ntel band frequency.

It's for 15 days.
Their site hasn't been updated in a while and some pages don't work.

Are you currently on the Swift merit plan?

Please can you confirm the period of daily night browsing? Mine seem to extend till 8am but I initially thought it was from 11pm - 7am.

Am sorry for what am about to say, but I believe we're the problem. NTEL has never given the impression of being serious, from the unnecessary increase in traffic with a dwindling service to when we couldn't recharge and had to beg them on Facebook to activate bundles, yet people still stick to Dem.

Let's all allow NTEL to die a natural death. Alternatives plenty for ground. Maybe when there's nothing coming in, they might be forced to focus on the network as a business and not a favor.

It really shocks me when I see people still buying ntel just because they think they will get unlimited data, despite seeing all the bad reviews here, Nigerians are fond of making the same mistakes over and over again

Last time I checked Ntel was the only network that offers true unlimited plans at such an affordable rate (this was before they recently increased price of some of their cheap plans). So you can't really blame people for wanting Unlimited data even tho their network speed can not even be called LTE/4G.

Up until 2 weeks ago I was on their unlimited classic night plan for 5k (now 10k) and it served me better than most network with crazy network speed had served be with their capped data. I was able to download more than 300gb worth of downloads before the plan expired. I doubt I would be going back to them now but i just wanted to get that out of the way.

Would have loved to try out smile but unfortunately they are only in Lagos so you shouldn't blame people for patronizing Ntel, not many unlimited affordable ISP's around.

Other than Ntel's laughable network speed, they seem to be the only ones offering true unlimited data with no bs hidden cap.

I agree. The only thing awful about Ntel where I am is the crappy speed. I get no more than 600KB/s where I stay. But that speed stays constant until the plan expires, so there is no cap. I did the Unlimited Weekly for N5k last week which expires today and I have used over 95gb in 7 days. And that's just on my own laptop. My brother had his fair share of downloads too.

Other ISPs that provide high speeds are either unlimited, or have a time restriction to unlimited browsing (e.g only at night), or very, very expensive.

Who has noticed terrible speed on Swift for the past 6 days in Iyana Ipaja (3kb/s steady). I've called the bast**ds severally and they keep saying they'll fix the issue but don't know how long it will take. Wtf is wrong with this country? You pay for something, you won't still enjoy it. And these clowns increase their price anyhow.

one minute, the speed is bomb, like before, then it goes back to 3kb/s for the rest of the day. I hate their attitude. Very poor customer service. The issue is at their base station here. They refused to fix it. People are complaining on their twitter page, yet Dem no gree fix am. Since after the service went off on Sunday nationwide, this rubbish of a issue has started. I have since switched to MTN LTE and their speed is crazy to say the list. I've told those Swift bastards that I'll fight them tooth and nail for compensation of days lost.

You're close to the truth on this. Here is one of my networks usage on NTEL. I might add that I have been lucky with this one, as it comes down to location of service and contention on the rack.
