bro, can you use power bank to power the router in case of power failure?

Does it have inbuilt battery?

so long as your power bank can take the standard Naija 3 pin plug, it should power the router but dont forget it will also power the dish which will suck the juice out of your power bank faster

if you do your own research and come to your own conclusions on the market, you won't care how much speaking In tongues or parables another user like you is doing...the fastest way to get rekt is to follow another person's analysis...

Lol yes they supplied a ZTE router and the honest the coverage is crap, Only about 20Meters. Go out of that range then you need to get an extender. The router tho doesn’t determine the internet speed or quality.

thanks for the response....how is the service quality and speed?

I'm happy to pay for their router which I will connect to my own router that already gives me the coverage I need but my worry is paying for the router and then finding out their service is sh1t 6 months down the line

I recently switched to this company NgComm and it has been nothing but very good and the customer service is excellent too. I’m on the fiber wired plan, This is my second month with them and I can tell you there has only been maybe less than half an hour downtime. I was using Connekt broadband radio and my god I was frustrated. Some months were better but I generally got a downtime at least 3 times a week and those might last hours sometimes. Most times it’s not downtime, the server is critically slow and I was on 15k/month which they claim is 12mbps.

Now On the base plan with NgComm @ 11500/month, I’ll attach a screenshot of the Speer test. Bear in mind I took this test while streaming on two TVs 65’ and 32’ simultaneously.

Although I get buffers here and there sometimes but that only takes max 3 seconds then it’s back running but I can’t complain as it is the base plan at just 11500 unlimited.

One more thing the set up was 38k

do they give you a modem or a cheap modem/router combo from china as part of the set up? I ask because I hate having to pay for weak routers from these guys and then find out the service is crap but I can't return their stupid hardware for a refund...I have swift, smile, tizeti, spectranet boxes gathering dust and I just dont want to do that sh1t anymore

Religion / Re: Stop Using Your Phone In Church! by walcolm(m): 12:41pm On Jun 26, 2022
pstJey:
Stop it, it's wrong.

At least show some respect for GOD.

I sat next to a lady that was visiting IG, reposting things on WhatsApp status and streaming another church's service in church.

My biggest grouse was that she did this throughout the 1hr 45 mins service.

When the sermon switched to why we're meant to correct people when we see them acting wrongly, I knew I had to do something.

So I tapped her and gave her the "why are you using your phone in church" look.

This lady responded so angrily it shocked me. Anyways, we were going to cause a scene so I let her alone.
At least I'd passed my message.

If you use your phone in church, please stop it. You end up distracting people around you plus it's disrespectful. Please stop it.

this is really a most unintelligent post..if you were in church to listen to the sermon, you would not have had time to notice what another person was doing on their phone

or was her phone on speaker and preventing you from hearing the sermon?

I was thinking about this but i have just one issue. The router from the YouTube video seems to only work with direct power - no light and it's not going to work.

I hope the one for the Nigerian market comes with like a small power bank or something.

A power bank cannot supply the amount of power required by the system...you have to have either solar or generator supply when phcn strikes

It will be too expensive. Where else can I get 1tb for 25k and the sim is already in an unlocked mobile router.

I'm just waiting for fiberone to come to my area. Their plan looks very good.

what's the point of having 1tb that you can't use up in 30days because of the slow speed? i agree with you the price point is very competitive but if i cant get more than 500kbps, i will be permanently pissed

oh btw, i have used swift in the past and i had to switch from them because of the exact same problem we are discussing here. if 3 - 4yrs ago i moved because of the slow speed of their network and in 2021, the same issue is still existing on their network, the data cap is not enough attraction

dont you guys think it is too expensive? with the value of the naira depreciating at the drop of every hat and the upfront outlay of $500 and annual cost of $1200....as much as i love everything Tesla, this seems too expensive

TotoNaRubber:
It's because the cryptocurencies are only decentralised by word of mouth. All the cryptos are built on BTC, the mathematical network causing upward and downward movement on BTC is imitated by every other cryptocurrency's own mathematical network, the builders of these cryptos don't know the exact mathematical algorithm Bitcoin works on so all they do is imitate it and upgrade from time to time.

Bitcoin operates on 1:M relationship, with that it is difficult for it to even get to $100k cos new alts emerge everyday and the more demand the more expensive a crypto gets.

A typical example; if you have 3 toto in front of you. You chook prick inside Toto1, you put finger inside Toto2, you put tongue inside Toto3. All of them gets excited and you tell your friends about it and they all come for a taste of it, that is crypto right there. Now replace yourself with BTC, Toto1 as ETH, Toto2 as YFI, Toto3 as BNB, yours friends as buyers.

Hope you get it now.


good attempt..however your explanation above is too simplistic it almost bothers on F in fud....the technical reason is a lot more complicated than you explained but the non-techncial summary of the place of Bitcoin is it is the one coin that gives crypto the most credibility because of the complete selflessness of its original creator which is why it continues to act as the benchmark for the cryptoverse which is why whatever affects it automatically spills to other coins

Alot of Nigerians drive pleasure in exploiting thier fellow brothers/sisters while cursing the elites for same treatment. If not, I see no reason why a person will even be selling digital dollar at almost #500 naira while physical can be gotten for 470-480.

If I had excess BUSD I would have continually crashed thier rates cheesy

the truth we dont like to face is that Nigeria is the way it is because of we the people!!!!! it is very easy to point. a finger at politicians while we turn around and do the same or worse to the man standing right beside us. a people get the leaders they deserve

I have used up to 1tb in a month before with the 25k unlimited plan so I don't think they is a data cap.

The issue is speed. Whenever I used speed test it shows over 4mbps BUT my download on IDM and torrent can never pass 500kbps which is very annoying I've even reach out to there support they sent someone but the person didn't do shit.

Why the f are you still using Swift? Why not buy an unlocked router that takes a sim card and subscribe to large data packs from the GSM network with the best coverage for your area?

First, It gives you freedom should you decide to relocate from one area to another and the coverage strength changes

Secondly, you can share the same data package with your mobile devices when you go about your regular day...the big GSM guys now allow data sharing between multiple lines

the crypto is 17k in Naira. Was I supposed to sell for 17k naira too?

You best discuss the rate you are selling your own crypto, and stop asking how much she want to buy. She can stake that after knowing the rate you are selling.

If your crypto is 17k in naira, then in a sane world thats what you're supposed to sell it for

Of course you're free to ask for 1million for your 17k crypto and you might find a mumu who will be desperate enough for your crypto to buy it at your price...I couldn't care less

for anyone reading this, if you hv crypto which current worth on the app is 17k naira. And you want to do p2p to another. Is it right to sell all 17k worth of crypto still for that exact 17k?

CC; Amnotme

If your crypto.is worth 17k, you should get 17k for it...because that is what it is worth

So exactly what is this your question?

Do you want to sell your crypto worth 17k for more than 17k?

Another clear example of how we will not move forward as a people. Every time a Nigerian has a chance to take advantage of Nigerians, they take it with both hands

How can this exchange be taking almost 1000naira to the $ from Nigerians?

Maybe the people who are still on that exchange do not realize how much they are being exploited
