@Stanley08, l duff ma hat for your permutations and the screenshots.

Ntel had better roll out their nation wide plans fast before the Voodoo networks come onboard and crash the party with their evil data plans

Lol. Voodoo network. Wats ur own Location? They are only in Abuja now. But Lagos is next and PH shortly after. Then I'm guessing places like Ibadan, Onitsha and Calabar won't be far behind.

Pangea:
For where?
Planning to get the sim when I come back

Lol ok. U not in naija i guess.. Well, hopefully it hasn't gone to shxt by then. This is Nigeria afterall.

@seun the mod here needs to be replaced. this thread is now being used for trading.

Pangea:
Old boy
This your calculation na die o!

I'm presently out of the country now and i use an average of 125gb per month!

What i really need Ntel for is to watch my ROKU in nigeria!

Lol. I'm telling you. The calculation ehn! Do u use Ntel yet?

phizz:
Was in Lagos last week and i used my ntel sim at airport, computer village, isheri idimu, lagos Island, obalende etc though they yet to sell in Lagos.

It worked? Well. That's nice to know.

TDonald:
This is the only picture trending, that's why i still doubt this shiiit

Okay.

jheed:
Is there any other data bundle on ntel other than unlimited bundle

For now, no. But who knows. There might be in the future.

@TDonald Ntel download speeds. And i can assure you 100% it wasn't tested on Mars.

For those who don't know Ntel, it's a telecommunications company that provides 4G LTE-A Internet at 'arguably' affordable rates. I guess the idea of this thread is to focus on the 'arguably'.

-They are currently only active in Abuja but Lagos and PH are very close, according to their customer care, lagos is only a few days away-

I did some simulations and calculations of how much you how much data you can pull using Ntel.
Realistically and Mathematically. Keeping in mind that you'll use Ntel for purely downloading purposes. I really don't think you need to consider Ntel if you don't do alot of downloading or huge data demanding activities online anyways. As the Reception can't backshift to 3G or 2G. U are also going to need a 4G capable device be it a phone or 4G USB/MiFi modem.

Let me also add by saying, i am in NO WAY affiliated to Ntel. I'm neither a staff nor any marketer of any form, I'm just an I.T Guy and a 'Concerned Citizen' lol.

Read below and tell me what you think.

Realistically:
Let's say the reception where u stay and/or work isn't so good, you still get around 5MB/s give or take. At the rate, u are doing 300MB/min and then 18GB/hr. Since we are being realistic, considering network fluctuations and what not. Realistically, we'll say you are doing 15GB/hr.

And Realistically, you get to download 12 hrs in a day. Let's take work days for example when u go to work and u leave ur downloads to run in the background of ur computer while u work, even when u go for lunch break, it's still on ur table, in the office downloading. So 8am to 5pm. 9hrs.
U get home at 7pm and continue. 3 more hours. 10pm u are tired u want to turn off ur computer and sleep (Realistically). That's our 12hr mark.

15GB x 12 = 180GB (1 day)
In 3 days = 180 x 3 = 540GB.
In 7 days = 180 x 7 = 1260GB.
In 1 month = 180 x 30 = 5400GB.

Let's just approximate it and chalk it down to uncertainty or other factors

Realistically...
500GB for 3 days.
1.2TB in 1 week.
5TB in 1 month.

Mathematically:
You download for 24hrs a day and your network is perfect so steady 10MB/s. Let's assume it's a weekend or u on leave or you are jobless (lol). There's sha nothing stopping you from taking it personal because you want to must use it to the maximum. That and we being mathematical You leave ur downloads to run even while you asleep lol (i know I've done it many times - IDM scheduler FTW!)
Which means u get 600MB/min and 36GB/hr
For a day, mathematically and without factors
36GB x 24 = 864GB/day
In 3 days = 864GB x 3 = 2.6 TB
In 7 days = 864GB x 7 = 6.05TB
In 1 month = 864GB x 30 = 25.9TB

So... Even taking the mathematical scenario and mixing some real life factors like nepa and i don't know.. Anything else... I'll approximate also just less aggressively.

Mathematically...
2.5TB in 3 days.
6TB in 1 week.
25TB in 1 month.

So at least for the first 3 months when u get TRULY UNLIMITED and no fair usage to hold you back.

1K2 for 3 days
3K for 1 week
10K for 1 month

Considering what you can 'possibly' gain...
Is it expensive?

- Share if you think my calculations and simulations are Genius.
- Like if you think I'm Crazy!

If you feel it's both, i think we are on the same side anyways. Loool.

Folakeme:
You wrote different scenarios that's nt gonna be possible(too many assumptions),You,my friend r nt crazy n definitely nt a genius,u are jst insanely delusional

What you call assumptions, i call factors. Which actually makes it more accurate.

Insane, yh. Definitely. Delusional, what now?!

Folakeme:
Download upto 1Tb ke?,On what planet?

In 3 days = 864GB x 3 = 2.6 TB

So... Even taking the mathematical scenario and mixing some little real life factors like nepa and i don't know.. Anything else. It falls somewhere just above 2TB.

So yes. You can achieve 2TB in 3 days.

I am currently practising number 10 and it feels so good. Especially when I press the report button and the mod joins in sending the perpetrator on forced vacation.

It feels really good.

Lol. Snitches get Stitches.

Thanks to Oasis Feng.

LMFAO! Please oh! What does Spectranet or Oasis Feng the dev of Greenify have to do with any of this? Nigerians funny oh! Loool.

OP @CaptainEColeJnr that number 1 ehn! The way i hate that bullshxt!

bizgenius1:
it was 305 last week

Wat of daily limit?

chinli:
Fair usage policy of 3gb per day isn't unlimited

From what they told me on Twitter
For the first 3 months, it's TRULY UNLIMITED. No Fair Usage.

From what i read on their website
While using after the 3 months period, fair usage of 3GB daily applies which means speed will be throttled after 3GB is used during 'ON PEAK' periods.
On peak periods is like work hrs or the time when people communicate the most, hence network is more crowded, traffic is higher. So my guess is say 7 or 8am to 6pm or 7pm. So sometime around 6pm/7pm to 7am/8am. No fair usage.

This is my own understanding of what i read, i don't know what the actual details are.

Agbgift:
This girl just use hand buy trouble?

She no even reach market. Na online she buy the trouble.

Well, in the end... He'll get like 5 or 10M. End of case.

Who UNION Bank epp? 20th Century Bank. Make ur card rates 199.5 then we will be happy for you.

openmine:
yeah but spectranet data plans are very expensive....I will patiently wait for ntel.....ohh men,10 mb/s ?
Chai....heavy game download tins...lol

Lol. I was using Spectranet for about 6 months. I endured the bad speeds until they thought it was a good idea to double the price.

I could get up to 3MB/s around 2am to say 5am. But during the day, at times it was even lower than 100KB/s. It was unbearable. Hopefully, Ntel stands the test of time.

beautycrush24:
U shouldn't have mentioned America at all since u're not comparing. Cos i meant here in Nigeria. We also have 4G-LTE here and its still crap.

The point i was tryin to make is that when dese our now useless networks came (even though they're all 3G) the browsing speed was something to talk about until they had millions of customers (now them no born anybody well to share screenshot of mtn abi na glo).

So guy....i know what i'm saying. Let's leave the hype cos it'll fall like the rest pretty soon.

The only advice u should give to people is to buy it now that people havent crowded d network.

Gracias.

I guess only time will tell. Lol.

openmine:
ohh men see speed.....ntel sud get 2 pH city nah

Lol i heard spectranet is really fast in PH. If you in a good location.

donhils:
There is no + attached to the 3G and no A attached to the LTE neither is there any + attached to the 4G.
So what I know is that LTE has a download speed of 300mbps.

HSPA is the +
Cat 6 is the +

3G < HSPA (3G+)
LTE < LTE Cat6. (LTE-A)

Cat 4 is 150/50
Cat 6 is 300/150

Google 'LTE Cat6'. That is what shows up. Below.

They haven't gone live. MTN NG is going 4G Live soon. They must have also 'deployed' infrastructure. Don't mean it's working yet tho.

Smile is working, Swift is working, Spectranet is working, Ntel is working and readily available for a specific region now. U dig?

OlujobaSamuel:
dude, you are just too full of yourself, it's arrogance and pride in you, not self esteem.
Not everyone here is a kid, you don't throw subtle insult at people, especially strangers.
If you want to market ntel, go ahead, your choice, paid or not, but you have no right to tell customers(potential or existing) to go to hell.
there's nothing broad about your rhetoric, as an investor(ntel), the services/product rolled out is for the masses, not for exclusive users, not interested in either the cost is much or not story, from a business point of view, how many data users can afford 10k per month, there is need for data package that will compete with what people currently enjoy, except for business, virtually no sane human will buy such.package, including the 3k for a week, but because you are ready to buy yours and stream videos, you think everyone is having such activity to carry out on net.
I make online calls so much, yet I use less than 2gb in a month which I can get for less than 2k, except I am into work related research that consumes that, also note that most of those that can afford such fee works in an environment where they enjoy free WiFi, how many tertiary institution students can afford to buy such data package?
when others speak, try and reason from their point of view, don't just see yourself as omniknowall(omniscience). wait till they roll it out fully in Lagos, then come back to dish us your story, also how long do you think it might take them to breakeven? do you also think they can breakeven with just 3cities(not states because rivers is not fully covered, ditto for abj and lag).
When skimming/discriminating in pricing of products, there ought to be no or little alternate market, no room for black market and there must be affordability of the product on the part of the consumers, if not it might be the end of the product lifecycle.
guess you are a geek in tech's, so you care less about the financial perspective.

Lol. Cntrl+ P. It's the same thing we have been saying since, if it's not suitable for you. Leave it and use a better option.
Personally, i do Airtel 9GB for 3K5 like 2 and half times a month. Dats 7K+1,750 and it's not enough because i have high data demands. I use alot of traffic so i need unlimited. You do not need unlimited so wats the point of saying u think Ntel needs to reduce price etc. When u can pay only 2K on MTN and get 3.5GB that u won't even be able to finish. Ntel is targeted at specific users. High data usage users. Low data usage users should not bother about how much Ntel data costs. A student should use Etisalat 1K for 1.5GB and not complain that Ntel it's expensive.

"Nothing concern pomo with person wey no get teeth".

In a nutshell, use the plan that suits you, leave the rest alone. Simple.

Baddestguyp:
looking at ur screenshot with the time left...tgers something fishy. ur download remains around200mb yet with 10mb speed it still needs 57secs when it should be around 20sec.

you aren't downloading at 10mb sorry

Dymaco:
are u using ntel sim

Firstly, i said twice. The screenshot ain't mine but @honsule 's
And knowing the type of person he is, i don't think he has the time to post fake screens.
If you use IDM, then u know that the timer is not exactly accurate. It's not real time. It has a few milliseconds delay.
Finally, i know someone else that told me he gets 10MB/s. So yh

nworanco:
In UK u make £10 -£20 with ease, because it's like having 50 - 100 naira in ur palm. They spends such amounts without second thought

True tho, standard of living is different. And other factors. But saying 10 to 20 pounds didn't exactly make the point because by direct calculation it still shows that it's about the same.

charloski:
Jesus!!! when my Spectranet is giving me 3MB/s and i am boasting of it....

Lol. Spectranet was good before. The price was doubled and the speed was halved. At least here in Lagos, i heard it's faster in Abuja. I dumped their router, until when they are ready to at give me better speed. Also have a smile MiFi. Their plans are ridiculous, even their 19,800 (corpers allowy lol) unlimited plan is only 60GB. After 60GB it starts crawling like snail.

I will lean towards anyone dat is offering the best at the time, for now i feel it's Ntel. I just hope their network withstands the test of time. One thing is for sure, Lagos will be more demanding than Abuja.

donhils:
I saw this. But then I grabbed something from your explanation.

I don't really understand what you mean mate. However, from the picture u posted... I can see Theoretical speeds for 3G+ (HSPA) and 4G+ (LTE-A).

Tho theoretical upload speed for LTE-A is 150 and LTE is 50

I am not an Ntel marketer. I'm a 'concerned citizen', I'm an I.T guy who says what he thinks. Who wants to get the best bang for buck.

If MTN offers better speeds and prices tomorrow, I'll say MTN is the best. This thing is pretty straightforward.

OlujobaSamuel:
I hope you are not one of their online marketers, because if you are, I bet you will be out of job very soon. you are really doing a great job at demarketing the organization.

Drama Queen. Lolz
Am too big to go on social media to trade insults. You can put up more logical and superior argument without having to insult people.

That aside, your argument above suggest that Ntel was rolled out for a certain class of Nigerians.
No body is forcing any one to buy Ntel, but the reality is that the word UNLIMITED or 4G does nt make it wholly attractive.

If you think alot of people are getting to know about their offers as a result of your post here you are mistaken.

I went to transcorp hilton to get a sim 3 weeks ago. Ntel stand close to Etisalat stand at Transcorp lobby was not functional. We were redirect to to the wing C second floor were the officers were set up.

Sadly their was no network to do common registration. After waiting for over 30 minutes, we lost patients and they resolved to sign papers to indicate that we were there earlier and asked us to return later in the day

Since then, I ve not gone back because the first impression was poor. If Ntel don't have sustainable network to register what's the guarantee that their network will be good enough to service me notwithstanding their abnormal plans? [/b]

Mate, Drama queen is not an insult. You are CLEARLY being a drama queen. So i stated it.
For example: Writing all in bold to get attention, DRAMA!
Same as writing all in caps. Those are Drama queen moves. By the way, if Ntel don't suit you... Just leave it you hear? Just leave it

Jennifer89:
bros if you feel subscribing to the #10,000 unlimited data plan will dig a hole in your pocket please stick to other network.

Exactly oh! Just stay where suits u, simple.
