Nice.Lol
Sad Thing Is, I'm Not In Lagos At The Moment Only God Knows Till When.
I Could Holla Here When I'm Back Though.

Well alright.

dustmalik:
Quite funny. The Abuja speed result was gotten using which device?

I have personally gotten 86mbps using boom j8, and coverage isn't even that good at my place.

Dat pretty much summarizes the whole thing.

Lol. I think @KarenEngel is in the best position to answer that. Looks like a Samsung tho.

OmichaelO:
nice One, I Was Just Curious Because That's My Area Too.

Hmmmnnn... You might be lucky and it's better in my house. I have a feeling it's even alot better just a street away lol. I think the cell tower servicing me is the 3rd Mainland bridge one which is a bit far.

acunon:
Pls do you knw if htc one m9 can use ntel 4G network?

It should mate.

dustmalik:
Your speed test results are very disappointing. It has been quite good here in Abuja.

Ya! I think it'll get better when they launch in Lagos. In my room it's even worse. less than 2Mbps. In my dad's room that's where it gets up to 8Mbps TOPS!

NTEL in Abuja = LION
NTEL in Lagos = small cat.

showreals:
Wuse 2 Just now

You guys are enjoying in Abuja. This is what i get in Lagos. Believe it or not lol

StreamerBlogger:
screenshot ur results

Believe it or not, this is what i am getting... In my room anyways. It's so bad in my room. But even around the house. it gets to 5Mbps max. Which is still poor.

OmichaelO:
do You Stay Around Yaba Bro?

Yes I do.

dustmalik:
It's showing Abuja because the server in the settings is one of those based in Abuja, and they are usually slow. To get the true speed, In Speedtest.net app, go to settings and change the test server to either Vodacom Nigeria business, MainOne cable, Cobranet, Internet solution pty or Smile communications. These servers are based in Lagos, and are quite fast.

No. It is showing my own location as Abuja and then trying to ping servers in Lagos. It's unusual for it to get ur location wrong. It's just like i'm browsing with proxy.

See what i mean in the photos below. The Abuja servers are 'apparently' closer to me than the Lagos ones...

Got my SIM today... The speed is alot slower than i expected. But i can't exactly blame them. They haven't launched in Lagos yet. Even speedtest shows my location as Abuja.

Anyways...

DEVICE = HUAWEI GR5 (HONOR 5X)

LOCATION = IWAYA, YABA.

NETWORK = 2 BARS (of 4 tho)

dustmalik:
ntel hasn't officially launched its services in Lagos, so i would suggest you wait till they do so. Don't buy sim and subscribe in Abuja, only to go to Lagos and then find that coverage is poor, then you start complaining, blaming ntel for your own miscalculation.

Also, since ntel hasn't officially launched in Lagos, you can't complain if you experience any hitch whatsoever.

Exactly. Got my SIM today in Lagos. It's really slow. Only 3Mbps. However, i wont complain too much. Not yet. Because they haven't lauched proper in Lagos. When they do, then i'll sing. Maybe best to hold off, unless u sure of full reception in ur area. Island Area. I'm on the mainland.

evergreen9:
what kind of modems would the NTEL 4G simcard work with?

Ppl have been using that white spectranet mifi, and i think the older black ones too. Unlocked of course.

AleAirHub:
Amazon of $2000 @260.

I know AleAirHub too. But testimonies abeg.

tumababa:
Good morning. $2500 amazon gift card available at ₦275 per $

I know Tumababa but who can vouch for him abeg? I don't have even 1K to buy scammers lunch.

tumababa:
Good morning. $2500 amazon gift card available at ₦275 per $

I will need this abeg. Time to buy FIFA 17 for PC and PS4

bolakale30:
Boss, I have learnt a lot from you, especially from your Samsung Galaxy thread. It gave me the launch-pad for my future android endeavours! God bless you sir. It's a pity you stopped replying me on Hangout though!

Brotherly, thanks for the kind words ooh.
Also, since like a year or so. It's just today today i started using Hangouts again. Shoot me a message bruv. Stanley083atgmaildotcom cheers!

purplekayc:
who knows about the daily limit?is there any?

None for the first 3 months

dustmalik:
3 months unlimited is a limited time offer. What it means is that if you subscribe every month for the next 3 months, it"ll be unlimited. That is to say, if you subscribe for the 7 day plan for 3,000, it will be unlimited for that 7 days only, and then it expires, or if you subscribe for the 10,000 - 30 day plan, it'll be unlimited for exactly that 30 days, and then it expires. Once your bundle expires, that's all.

Great assist bruv!

dest4real:
If DCC mean direct currency conversion, it means merchants will allow me pay in my local currency. Since banks are not remitting dollars to these merchants, why are they charging at black market rate?
I'm a little confused here, or i'm getting something wrong?

I was thinking this too. Stanbic also told me they will eventually charge their prevailing dollar rate. This was about 2 weeks ago.

olurotimi1:
That's my point NTEL has the yes vote. Any other network should go and sit down

Lol. Ya!

olurotimi1:
if I may ask you how much is unlimited on Smile? And who else has unlimited that's cheap like 10k. Please name 3 networks

Smile is 19,800 (corper salary) for 60GB and 512kbps afterwards
Ntel is 10K for UNLIMITED.

WildChild00:
Tnx for the responds, so it means I should not use stanbic?

It means Stanbic is probably still the best option.

WildChild00:
Which bank card is recommended for paypal 9ja linking and also cheap when making payment, Stanbic Ibtc or Standard Chartered?

Stanbic 315. SC - Discontinued (For the lack of a better word)

elvisco2:
i went there @ wuse 2 dis morning to collect my sim. i was told the least subscription is 3k for a week. wen i dnt even knw if there is ntel 4g network in my house.
i just dash them my reserved sim.
3k for 7days testing? these nitel abi ntel pple are alredy failing.

Lol it's actually Nitel + Mtel. And if you discover there's no 4G reception where u stay, all u gotta do is call them and tell them to pause ur subscription.

vanchi:
I'm good bro. is it true that ntel signals are live in Lagos

From the reports, apparently yes. Even their website shows parts of Lagos that's been covered.

flexcity82:
abeg you sure sey wetin you dey talk na truth

Concerning?

Funny how after all said and done. Stanbic always remains the best option. SOMEHOW! Lol.

*Packing my 50K back into my kolo (local safe, often tin ). Something is wrong with those Standard Chartered n*ggas.

How much is Standard Chartered charging per dollar? 276? 277? Thereabout?

Mariesio:
Like seriously, why should we be informing people about bank rates which translates to advertising for these banks and we cant advertise our rates for other forms of fund

Nobody said you should not advertise ur own rates. It should be done in a different thread. A thread created for that. This thread was created for a different reason. Simple oh.

Lol. Is it not English I've been speaking since? Because I'm confused myself.

vanchi:
.
hello Stan.. its the note 3 guy.. remember me? I see you've been anticipating this ntel launch. you even forgot to mention that the bundle comes with talk time as well as unlimited data. that sweetens the offer.

what phone are you on now and is any one on the market for sale?

I can't forget u bruv. Remembered you a few days back even. NO HOMO. It's Chinedu. Yes?

I'm using an Xperia Z3 now. Thinking of selling it, i don't know yet. Cheers.

AleAirHub:

smart guy

Yes nah. Let it not go and be as if they will now say minimum balance is 5K. Or 50K. Them and who will do that one?

shocker007:
All their account comes with Visa Card including savings account.
The minimum opening balance is N50,000 though, just incase .

Can i withdraw my 50K immediately after the whole shibang?

dagr8:

You guys should drop this argument please. People need this platform for favorable exchanges and discussions that is why it has come to stay. Good morning

Dats not the point. The point is, this thread is to report rates charged by banks. Exactly what the the post above mine is asking. That info is what this thread is about.
There should be another thread to do trading. The idea of this thread was not for trading. Simple and short.
