Funny thing is that Airtel has become extremely reliable in my location in the past 3 days or so.

I know they will soon do their usual but I'm getting speeds of close to 100mbs on a 50mbs sub and a stable streaming experience. Currently using X25pro but I know it will be the same with my G5F. If I finish what I'm doing early, I will try Nuvio this weekend.


Meanwhile, I have bought ZLT X32U 5G MIFI with 9000mAh for when I will get the MTNN ODU, because I will always convert to external Sim.

The ZLT X32U 5G MIFI B, what's the cost and is it universal??

Finally !

Nice!!!!!

What's your location??

Will be joining you guys soon.

It's time to leave Airtel because two days now I'm getting max 120kbps.

Not bothered calling Customer service anymore because I've given up on Airtel

epoxide:
Interesting. Straight 2 days you said and these TVs are low powered TVs?

Wait!!!

It's Powers TVs ?

Airtel issue is turn by turn.
Most times, it’s location, other times it’s regional.
But the fact is, no one will escape their downtime.
Ever since I got Mtn ODU, I’ve never had a single downtime (1 week now and counting)

Planning on getting the MTN ODU and I get some questions.

1. Does it only work in areas with MTN fibre available ( so I've heard ).?

2. Did the activation give you headache or it's just plug and play?

3. Is the esim convertible to physical sim like Airtel's.?

NSEstudent:
I found Torrentio. I had to remove 4k and 1080 from config but videos are just blinking and not playing. Which player are you using?

You're likely playing movie links with very little seeders.

Pay attention you a human head emoji on movie links and choose those with very high seed numbers.. something like "🤵🏿 330"

Those with low seed numbers will buffer or not play at all.

Also choose movie sizes based on your network strength, 50mbps will play 5gb movies well but 20mbps will play 2gb movies best

okorojoe:
Flix streams looks good!
Thanks a lot man! I didn't know there are more stremio add-ons other than the one that exists on the app via the community filter

.


Community add-ons limits your access to contents.

I think the comments earlier by someone who said Stremio has only old movies is true when you use only community preloaded add-ons.

Custom add-ons are the bomb.

NSEstudent:
These apps require subscription, no?

.


Subscription isn't necessary, you can watch whatever you want to watch.

But watching 4k and HDR content without buffering would require a subscription with what is called "Real Debrid".


But there's alot of FHD/1080p and sometimes 4k of the same content you can watch for free.

okorojoe:
Thank you for this. But which add-on exactly do you use to stream live matches, make I find am?

Flix- Streams, Sport Stream.

okorojoe:
I'm interested too (for stremio). How can I get it from you please?

https://stremio-addons.net/addons?sort=new&page=1


When you click on any add-on, click install then copy manifest URL.


Nuvio App

Go into the nuvio app after you might have installed it,

Go to settings,

Click Content & Discovery

Click Add-ons

Paste the copied Manifest URL & click install


Stremio App
For stremio app, it's more straightforward.

Copy the link,

Paste it inside your stremio app search bar n click install

The add-ons are 488 in number, you have to install them individually.

Use the filter option to find what you want

michlins:
can I find add-ons to stream football games and live TV

Absolutely, I have a link for the add-ons including those for Sports and live matches


Dunno if posting it here will have me banned though

michlins:
they have even camrips of movies still in theater. If it's on the internet,streamio has it.

You just need high speed internet and more seeders to enjoy it

.

Been using Stremio for two years now,

Switched to Nuvio a month ago and I haven't used Stremio since.

You should check it out.

I'm just curious and want to know if anyone else sharea a similar thought to mine.

Is Airtel intentionally sabotaging internet services from time to time?

Because this occasional "No Internet" delima has lingered too long to just be a fault.

GUYS!!!!!
Make una chill for now with the Smartcash app and services. Don't send money to the account as it's impossible to login.
Accounts seem to be locked.

Unfaized:
Renewed my sub on the 2nd.. Network has been abysmal since then. Right now can barely do up to 10kb/s

Contacted Airtel in X, no response 🤦🏾‍♂️

Call 300, choose English, then product and services ( option 3 I'm sure ), then press talk to agent.

Make sure to let the auto interactive voice service talk finish before you'd be pressing buttons.


When agent picks up, tell them you want to talk to a supervisor ( insist ).

Good luck

Novaspammer:
Please help me everyone I'm getting maybe 10kb/sec on airtel router

Zlt w304va pro

Take it to another location and see if it's giving the same speed then you'll know if it's your location

OHIsIManuEL:
Does airtel have any issue with Whatsapp?
Message are not coming in or going out quickly

Going through the same.
I have turn on and off my WiFi for messages to pour through.

henryutd:
I tried the ODU yesterday, it couldn't even open NL. Still stuck on 3g even after several reset and change of bands.

Have you tried using the ODU in a different location?

Like carry it to a location where you know that there's very strong network. Because it's possible that Airtel's mast in your location is only transmitting 3G signal to your ODU.

It's possible that the 4G/5G for that mast are not functioning optimally.

It's also possible that for some reason, 4G/5G in your location are working well but have disassociated themselves from your device or Sim card.

Anything is possible with Airtel these days, just take it to another location.


My ODU sim have been getting max speed of 200kbps for the past 6 days at my house. I talked to customer care, and 3 different supervisors but no solution.

The device works well at my office, so today I decided not to turn off the device after work, took it home still turned on right from the office where it's been working well.

And behold, I'm currently using it now in my house getting 25/30 Mbps.

It's crazy innit.!?

Alapereketu:
follow their advice

Problem is, the Router works at my office and will likely work at the Airtel office, it's working anywhere except my house.

Having issues of slow next to no network browsing since Saturday.

If I put a random Airtel sim card in my ODU, it works well.

Called CC twice, spoke to two different supervisors and they have no solutions for me.

Asked me to take the device to the main Airtel physical office.

Has anyone had this kinda issue resolved at the Airtel main office?

Rokynwastar:
So I have a very complex issue.

Since Saturday, the network in my House has been really bad, close to non existent. Like switching between 60kb, no Internet, and 500kb at night. I contacted CC via Twitter and they be like " fixing it and shiii" but nothing.

I take the device to my office and it's blazing at max speed. Wtf, I'm thinking the network in my House ( location ) is the issue. Back home, I do all kinds of settings, and tweaks ( been using Airtel router since 2024, so I know my way around the technical side of it ). Band locks, cell locks, APN, and Network mode change. Nothing works.

I sub my alternate Airtel number, put in the router and behold its blazing well. What the heck is going on?? So the network is my location is not the problem, but my ODU simc card is acting up even though same sim card is working fine in my office.

I call CC and asked to speak to a supervisor, explained everything and was told to restart the ODU after an hour, if problem persists, I should take it to Airtel office and have an installer come and check my ODU position ( I'm skeptical about this advice because my Alternate sim works just fine in same position leading me to believe the supervisor is clutching at straws here).

2 hours later, problem persists. At this point I really don't know what to think or do anymore.

Just venting, maybe someone has/had same issue and probably got it fixed.

UPDATE: My issue was fixed yesterday. Turns out talking to a supervisor is always the Best go-to option.

Anyone else in Abuja having network issues since morning??

Bejust4m:
The network is so slow, is there any one else experiencing this

.

It's very inconsistent over here. Takes forever to load even speed test, streams, web pages. It's only good for streaming after taking forever to load.

lilclin:
Anybody else experiencing bad network?

Yeah, same here, it's been terrible.

Runsboi:
Hello... My Chiefs

So I just did Kyc for the Airtel ODU today (the lady actually came to mine, which was pretty impressiv), the installer said he'd be around to install tomorrow, he wanted to come today but he was asking for extra kudi, me wey nor get shimgbain 😭 However, since I've been here, I've come across several suggestion that one should insist on getting an ODU with physical sim, something laidat. I asked the lady this earlier, she said all the ODU are e-sim, so I'm confused.

You aren't supposed to pay him anything extra. You could pay his transportation to hasten him up though.


Insist they give you physical sim before installation or you could do a sim swap to physical sim after installation.

"According to him, the partnership will enable Airtel to deliver satellite-to-mobile services across the 14 African markets where it operates, particularly in areas with limited or no terrestrial network coverage, using SpaceX’s Starlink platform".


This is a quote from a news article about Airtel and Startlinks collaboration.

What's are your takes?

NSEstudent:
2 days ago when I went to buy another ODU, they were saying I should use MTN as alternate number, to which I strongly disagreed on as though I foresaw these. I like how I monitor my router numbers from the app and I wondered how I could do it when MTN, another carrier, is used as the alternate number.

.

It's really stupid and amateurish that they'd suggest using an MTN number as the alternate. I remember clearly asking them at the point of registration about using my MTN because my Airtel wasn't in a phone and they encouraged it, not once, not twice. Smh

Mel1234:
Please, I've been trying this and I don't receive OTP via my email.

Is there anything you did different?

.


Facing the same issue. I can understand why I can't get it send to my MTN number but I can't get it sent to my mail either.

geeetee:
thats the problem, i managed to change my alternate number tho
visit this link - https://airtel.com.ng/broadband/#/user/login
and do forgot password, you will get otp in your email. then you reset the password and login and change the alternate mobile number

.

How do I get an OTP sent to my mail?.
The only option I have there is for a phone number
