I'm on FiberOne as well. But with Static IP which shoots the price above the roof.

They are ripping you off. I use "fibre" too and it comes with a static ip by default
40Mbps #21k.
Switch your provider.

obyrich:
This is less than 60k

Perhaps 40k; even 25k... but wouldn't it be lovely to pay 60k or so
and have peace of mind about zero data caps
and unmatched speed? We're talking north of 200Mbps
Which ISP will give you even 80Mbps constant unless you're on a dedicated plan (which is super expensive and still has data caps)
No comparison.

obyrich:
Can you exhaust 60k data on any of the existing telcos-MTN, Glo, Airtel or 9mobile?

You are learner, people dey exhaust almost 1TB in a month.
You don't know some people are heavy streamers and online gamers; YouTube etc.
Stop generalizing; me for example, average 700GB per month thereabouts

Oshey starlink don show

Na me by tryyy and seeeeee

Are you for real?? Pls explain how someone earning in dollars will feel the effect of inflation when based in nigeria.

Note - He is based in nigeria and not abroad where he will have to spend in dollars.

Shallow mentality; if you like earn 1m usd per month?
Won't you change it to Naira? How will you buy rice, beans yam in the Nigerian market? When the prices have x4 their original price.
Or will they sell for you at original price just because you earn in dollars?
For example, if a Camry that used to sell for 1.5m when dollar was 500 is now 3.3 million when dollar is 590. If you earn 5k usd per month;
you only gained 450k extra. But the car is now more than x2 the former price. So last last you didn't gain shit. The 450k is useless.
You Gerrit now?

Ournolly:
3ms ping speed?
Bro leeme swear, you are using fibre to home Internet service.
Am I wrong?

You damn right!

Ournolly:
Just tested it via speed test and it was average of 15mps for 25mps plan at the peak period.
The ping was constantly 120ms.

This is disappointing to be honest. There are ISPs out there with better speeds/pings. This is mine
at any time 24/7 on the 30Mbps plan. 100% speed delivered (nothing like peak or off-peak periods). Ping 3ms.

DoggoneDogg:
Since qtguru couldn't respond to this, it's safe to assume that he is lying about earning 1.5m monthly.

The probability of him, qtguru, lying is like 10% (for this particular case); not saying he doesn't lie. heck; everybody does at a point in time. However, like what someone said; what he probably needs is a financial manager or more stringent financial mgt rules. Because, yes you're spot on. Taking up a 150k job to "pay bills" is bizarre. Yes, extra money is sweet, but It should be for what is is: extra money; not a bill-payment fund.
I can relate too perfectly; cos I earn in the same range and even took a smaller project (100k ish) for a friend (not friends/relatives only) cos I just wanted him to pay something and not get it for free. I wouldn't give a stranger that price(it would hurt my reputation). Alas; the dude was starting to "behave like an employer and me; the employee with a salary of 100k). So I quick offered a refund instantly without blinking dropped the project; then charged him the real rate for the job 500k.
So you see, if I had taken it to "pay bills"; I would have probably spent it, and then refunding it would be hellish; but since it was just extra money in the pocket; I had no issues sending it back to where it came from.

dech2003:
Hello Boss, hope you can help to get M1 MACBook Pro with same price?
Waiting for reply sir.

Respectfully; you're a criminal
M1 Pro for $180 (90k) abi?

A new phone should be sealed. Sh*t the f*k up.
You were lucky it came with a box; it's not NEW but USED!!!

I have been following this thread for while. .

what do you mean Brand new Open box (No earpiece)? how can an item be brand new and yet the box is open and accessories are missing.
For God's sake , brand new items are supposed to be tamper-proof sealed.
Then stuffs like, Brand new, no Face ID . . Are you joking?

Make una day fear God ohhhh. This dishonesty is getting out of hand. Come for me if you may I don't care.

Bought, shipped and delivered. See date on receipt? This is legit as it gets.

wonlasewonimi:
That car would not run out of battery in a traffic jam from a full charge. A car that was designed to be used for camping? The guy must have missed charging it or it developed a fault.

You're smart. Exactly what somebody said before. A headline was just thrown and even without being there; everyone is swallowing it hook, line and sinker. Even those who don't know how Tiger batteries work; are now claiming PhD in tesla and battery matters.
Dumb ppl full here sha. How Nairaland has fallen

descartes400:
Telsa should have two battery system, the telsa battery system and the other battery system with alternator to avoid situations like this...mehn thus my idea is worth billions of dollars oh

Le me look for their phone number self to discuss the business idea.

You talk smart, but in reality not smarter than the seasoned engineers who put together electric vehicles.
Your idea is trash.

FarahAideed:
Till you get trapped in 2 hour hold up it's is then you will know that 300kms is just 3 hours of charge ..this dude lives in Ikoyi because I always see him around there and I am sure he stays on a property with 24 hour electricity ...not his fault sometimes Lagos happens to us all..I remember I used to frown at people urinating on the road in traffic till I got stuck in traffic and had no single choice than do the same

Not true for electric vehicles. Let me educate you a bit.
ICE vehicles will continue to run and combust and burn fuel when you're sitting idly in traffic; so traffic is a nightmare for regular internal combustion engine - vehicles.
Electric vehicles on the other hand will shut down the motors that drive the vehicles (no combustion; no rotation); The only things that would remain powered would be the electronics e.g. radio, headlamps and ventilation (A/C). In the state, you can sit in traffic for 1 week plus before the battery dies.
So pound for pound, in traffic, the Tesla will die many many days later than a regular car that would last only a few hours at best. Be guided.

SultanOfPuna:
And i used to think that once fire touch a filling station that everywhere will go in explosion immediately within seconds..

Hollywood and film tricks have been decieving us
See as the fire is looking weak sef, i was expecting hollywood explosion. Nonesense

LOL true. Explosions only happen when something with intense pressure quickly discharges it e.g. perfume cans, insecticide cans, gas cylinder, not forgetting bombs. Even shooting at a car's fuel tank will not cause an explosion as seen in movies.

Alusiizizi:
REACT is a JavaScript library so learning REACT implies learning JavaScript. BTW I am not a web developer but it took me less than 4~5 hours to learn JS. I had to for this freelance job that I worked on.

If it took you that long, then i'm sorry, you dont know sh!t about js.
you aint even started.

Flier:
Its obvious you don’t have home training,I am probably older than your father
Lithium isn’t used for car batteries and car batteries lasts 2-3 years,go back to your parents to give you home training

How do you recognize a kid? He/she tries to engage in a piss!ng contest" with anonymous users they have no iota of idea about.
How do you recognize an id!ot? They think they must be older than everybody they meet online.
Bro, take your L and move on. No shame in eating humble pie.

Flier:
You are lying and you know it,no battery can last 3 years even if you don’t use it everyday

Ignorance is bliss.
If phone batteries can last years with heavy usage, and car batteries, why won't solar batteries too do the same?
have you thought about why batteries really die?
I wouldn't want to start talking about battery chemistry, recharge and discharge curves
depth of discharge etc, cos I am sure your IQ cannot handle it.
You're an example of "i must do something" cos "others are doing it too"
i am certain you belong to the group of using 4 batteries to power air conditioner and you wonder why your
batteries are dying. Ever heard of Lithium? and why battery discharge are counted in cycles e.g
7000 cycles at 10% dod
500 cycles at 100% dod
i am very sure your inverter (if you ever had one) shut down itself after screaming low battery everyday
matched with undersized panels). And you expect it not to die in months. Scram!!!

Go through thread in your free time and educate yourself.

Thank me later.

I Once disconnected myself from PHCN And stated using 2.5kva solar that cost about 1.8 million,the shit lasted 2 years even though I couldn’t use many of the appliances anytime it’s on,I replace the engine twice in that 2 years, that two times cost about 190kg
After 2 years,the 8 batteries was dead and when I tried to replace them, each cost about 140k that is how I let go of the useless solar and return to my PHCN And generator
Mind you during that 2 years that I was using solar,I was using generator as well because the shit won’t charge very well during the raining season
If this climate change people are really serious about renewable energy or whatever,they should make battery more affordable expecially in Africa where we import everything and sell them to consumers at exhorbitant prices
My monthly bill at the moment is 100k plus and I am not complaining

Just as it's very possible to buy a lemon vehicle, or a badly-used phone refurbished to look like new, it's also possible to have paid for a badly installed system. I run a 7.5kVa system and next year will make it 6 years. Had to discard 12 batteries this year out of 16 cos' they stopped holding charges and will die within 1 hour after sundown. Had a diesel gen which was bought to augment for rainy days but guess what? it goes damaged from being overly idle.....There was a time it sat for 8mths without being touched. Had to sell it off.
You had a faulty installation (discharge vs recharge calculation was bad) and like everything else in life, there are rules. Break the rules and suffer!

Flier:
There is nothing like PHCN light,they gave him 300k plus,he owe them 600k plus previously
Your eyes will clear anytime you want to replace your solar battery,probably after just 2 years

If we check you very well now, you're not using Solar.
cos if you were, you won't post that 2yrs crap.
You have zero idea about something, only hearsay, and you open your mouth waaaa

stanisbaratheon:
Remind of when floppy disk were very much in use. But now we have USB flash drives. To think that the maximum memory capacity of a floppy disk is around 2MB only makes science special.

2MB unformatted . . .1.44MB real usage

@DrOladipo
Nice work you're doing here. I prefer to use eBay auctions (and Amazon) for 2 reasons:
1. i don't really have time for chit-chats with sellers (fake sellers)
2. ebay uses PayPal, so no way in hell you're gonna scam me. Paypal has zero tolerance for shady deals and can block accounts for fun.
So in this case, can i just sign up to use your business delivery address (of course, after providing the required documentation to prove that i'm human)?

justscorchone:
Sorry I meant to ask what type of job you got after school that paid that well

Software

MaxieMan:
You mean you an all-rounder then? DevOps, Fullstack, Cloud Engineer and Ruby Dev.

You are worth more than the 1.3m then.

Yes sir, i know it's only a matter of time. what i'm targeting, even "myself is" scared to tell others.
they think am crazy.

justscorchone:
Hmm I'm curious to know what kind of job you got straight out of school.

maybe this post isnt for me, but hell yea . . it was a teaching job lol . . at a primary school

MaxieMan:
What's your stack boss? And how many years experience?

Anything that has dot js in it, MEAN, MERN, PERN/PREN, etc, as people like to call it
Anything that has Ruby in it
Anything that has Python in it
Anything that lives in the "cloud"

Experience is "senior" and years depends on how many senior means to you, for some 4, for some 6

glassy:
Do you mind giving a "brushed-up" detail, it may help someone here...

yeah sure, i'm a software engineer, so that's already half the details. funnily, first software job i got was from Nairaland here, random post i replied but was for 150k. in life, i have learned that people who strive to be above average will often succeed, so i studied more and more and more, until i had practically no life. until i met someone who helped me get another for 200ish , then 300ish. I wasnt comfortable, because i knew people out there earned more, at my level. Then 500ish, which i turned down cos still wanted more, Oliver Twist. Then now. I am still not at where i'd like to be but i know i have paid a price to deserve what i have now.
take home is; most of ur high-paying jobs will come via recommendations and secondly, love yourself more. highest, i'll go to the village and drink 'garri' with peace of mind than do a 40k job that comes with insults on dignity.

started from 7k in 2005,
now x.3M per month

p.s.: i see most people saying "lies everywhere". i was in this shoe, but with the right skillset and connections, even 3M per month is too small.
