Swift dey fall hand now big time. Too many subscribers and so little expansion on the network to handle heavy downloads especially at night. Its unfortunate to see myself downloading at 500-700kb/x and am paying 7k per month.

500kb download speed isn't what Nigerians are supposed to get for premium data subscriptions.

baba they should have upgraded.

MTN hynetflex is the best. So happy I got it two days ago. Swift and spectranet wan kill me with poor network.

The only problem with the hynetflex is that the battery doesn't last long. Anyways that's what you get from Chinese people.
whats the data plan like?

How’s the MTN Hynet?

Is the download and upload speed stable?

Can I make use of a Lan cable? I game a lot..

Is there an outdoor radio to aide better stability?

If there a difference between the 5mbps and 10 mbps?

Cuz on a normal day I get as much as 35 mbps on speed test with my MTN WiFi .. But when I test it with my Game, it drops to an unstable 6.5 mbps sometyms 12 mbps

For anyone who cares to know, Swift Unlimited is not unlimited (Talking about the 25k plan which was formerly 19k then 24k before 25k)

On the website it says there is no data cap and the only cap is the speed which supposedly 4MB/s but to get even 1MB/s is impossible. All i see is 510Kbps at best. It used to be better than this but suddenly went bad. I am convinced there is a FUP in place but as it was not stated on the swift website, I can't help but imagine what theirs is. I haven't even used up to 200GB in total for the month so it is definitely below that.

The reason why i say it has an undisclosed FUP and has nothing to do with coverage area is because of two reasons. One is that fact that i didn't find it difficult getting 3MB/s while i was on the plan that had unlimited only at night (This speed was 3MB/s both during the day when i was using the bundle and during the night when the unlimited kicks in).

Second reason is that fact that one of swift's engineer just left my house after coming to "fix" the issue. In fixing the issue, he removed his SIM which has an active subscription (not unlimited) from him router to mine and it worked well, even reaching 6MB/s from the same exact place i kept my own router. He did the same with my SIM and the result was exactly what i had feared - capped on both my router and his, from the exact same location he just tested his and got 6MB/s.

Why all these shalaye? To help you know how it is before spending that 25k in search of true unlimited.

Well said but I still feel it's unlimited but based on speed. I've performed the same exact test with 2 Sims one capped and the other "unlimited". Speed is capped but volume is left to what u can manage.

Unfortunately, it seems to be the best we have for now except u're doing fibre optics which is restricted but the huge initial cost and the wired connection which means u're immobile embarassed embarassed

Yeah, volume is left to what you can manage which is why i was focused on the speed and not the data cap - cos there is none. It is truly unlimited.

However, a little disclaimer on thier page about the throttling won't be a bad. I don't know why they don't want to tell their customers the truth. The funny thing about this whole thing is that if they had specified that it gets throttled to 512kb/s after, lets say, 150GB is used, i still might have done it regardless.

I just hate to find out this way and when i complained about it, they still insisted it wasn't capped and even sent an engineer to come and do "Eye service" instead of just telling me outright that it has been capped.

Swift unlimited is Unlimited at 4Mbps, No throttling whatsoever..

You get 4Mbps nothing more, I did some calculations on some pages back, you can do up to 1TB. In a month..

I have done 20GB in a day before.

See speed below on Netflix.

There is no throttling, Max speed is 4 Mbps, I have done over 300GB in a month before.
Maybe Network reception is bad in your area..

This is why i took my time to explain that the engineer who came by brought his own swift SIM and router and tested it from the exact same spot where my router is and got better speeds, much more than i get and much more than you get (6Mbps). So the issue of reception is out of it.

It was also in the same spot when i was getting the said 3MB/s while on the plan that offered unlimited at night. I'm pretty sure it is throttled cause that's the only explanation that makes sense at this point.

They still claim there is no FUP in place and there is no way to know for sure if there is.
