after using my phone^{brand new e71} for one day on mtn's all day package
i hv jst paid the 10grand fro the 24hr service, starcomms bye bye
o yeah, turns out their base station is less than 50m from my house
my highest recorded speed is 323kB/s ^{u do the maths} i saw dat speed on the phones data counter and dat was about an hour ago cnt wait till it's really late
u wont believe dat downloading a file of 1.1MB took me 6mins on starcomms the other day^{gud ridedns to bad rubish}
it's been nice^{not really} but bye bye starcomms l8r

You're "doing" her too hard so just ease a little and give her some days off.Surely,a break from the cyberworld wouldn't kill you,,,,lol

hmmmmmm but u sim to be online dan me dis days na

All this guys are shared solution,they are all using 419 (if i may use the word) the speed depends on the amount of users logged on at a particular time,the more the user the less the speed(try in the early hrs of the day 2am - 4am and Sunday mornings).
Secondly when they start up,it is always good,but once ppl start to load up their network,then yu start the slowness wahala all over again,and since there is no REAL monitoring,wetin man fit do.
na naija be dat.
dem no fit try am for western world.

hmmm looks like r slowly leavin starcms, dat shud b gud nws 4 me wen i return (IF, i return)

Wherever you go to,always remember that more subscribers lead to network congestion.the Nigerian factor still remains a determinant on the the provision of efficient data delivery

Sad, but true!!

so u guyz are still haggling over outdated starcomms, stingy mtn and untested multilinks whereas there is zoom.zoom is way beta than starcomms and mtn, i was on my way to pay for starcomms browsing when i just had an inspiration to just check into a reltel office. i got the best offer i cud imagine, a free novatel express card with 24 hrs browsing and its as fast as eva. methinks mtn is 2 expensive and for those who use starcomms in evdo surrounded areas good 4 you, for those who havent used zoom, im recommending it,

I actually dumped my zoom for MTN. In terms of speed, Zoom was in the range of startcomm's 1x when i stopped using them.

@ myspace

you changed to MTN? , well except u r using the freedom thingy, MTN is messed up but really i dont expect anything much from them. I got MTN recently just 2 wks ago nd im already tired. The 3 gig thing for 10000 naira is rubbish, according to them, 1 gig gives you 10 hrs of browsing, which means that 3 gig gives you 30 hrs and ur supposed to be using it for a whole month. i mean whats a paltry 30 hrs? starcomms is even a bit better since they have the 100 hrs thing for 6500. im not a heavy downloader so Zoom works for me, the pages open exactly when i want them to unlike starcomms which i also have.

yes zoom is still on 230kbs buts its better than mtn which hypes 3G all the time yet i always see 53.6kbs GPRS always and starcomms which boasts of evdo but my eyes see it resting comfortably on 1x.

My guy i wonda wat kinda mtn u r using
Am curently using mtn3.5G via my fone & d avg speed i get is abt 60-120KB/s wen dwnldn i hit 250-300KB/s
Evrybody knws Zoom is stil doomed 2 1x so u shudnt compare it 2 mtn or even "epileptic" starcoms.

Zoom Mobile is the worst thing to happen to the internet.My neighbor got one and has never had rest of mind since then. U can't even open a facebook page!

The guys probably works for zoom since it is obvious he does not know what he is saying. I spend an average of 10hours online everyday with my MTN and my 3GB data lasts for at least 20 days, sometimes more.

Pls, does any1 have any info on calabar.I'm dying here.Thinking of getting starcomms but d horror tales here are scarin me.If mtn had 3g here then there'd be an alternative but they fluctuate btw edge and gprs.Is there really evdo in calabar or are dose pussies in their office trying 2 rip me off?

Wel i've hed of sm1 using EVDO in calabar but d signal sims 2 flunctuate alot sha
I'd advice u 2 stik 2 mtn 4 nw until u get enuf info on starcms (unles u liv close 2 any of dia mast)
Cheers

i read the 10 hrs thingy from an MTN flier, besides if ur browsing pages wiv a lot of pics ur 3gig will def be up in a few days, its guys like you who cause companies like mtn to profit by accepting gullibly all their selfish strategems. imagine paying 10000 naira for 3gigabyte of data but if ur comfy wit it gud for u, ive got my mtn usb for sale just in case u mite need more of mtns product.

i stay in uniport aluu and starcomms signal cant get into my room. ive gotta come outside to either browse or make calls hence my love for zoom which works seamlessly.besides most uniport students are dropping their starcomms and mtn and surrendering to the small but mighty zoom.

i do not like using services without paying for them but the only way i mite glance at mtn again is with the my freedom config, someone needs to stand up to this southafrican company. it was them that set the pace for calls to be as expensive as it is now and who knows, other internet providers might soon follow suit and start putting data limits in their packages.

because u r not mtn or starcms signal doesnt d service is generally bad.
By d way, 1x is nothing close 2 evdo or 3.5G

starcomms has rolled out EVDO Rev. A in Calabar and Ibadan.

truth is the 3GB data cap on MTN is more than enough for most folks who just browse web pages and a few downloads. in fact one  might not even exceed 2GB in 30days using MTN that way.

Zoom operates on cdma 1x. i must confess it's better than starcomms 1x.

starcomms has no EVDO coverage in Aluu/ Choba areas. MTN has 3G in full bars in these areas.

Dudes,thx 4 d replies.I'll defo b gettin starc but i'll chill small and monitor d situation.By d way, does any1 know how to bypass d yf 1hr restriction?Pisses me off big time,cant even update antivirus wit it(gprs/edge).Heard of a voucher hack/bypass but notin concrete.Pretty please,

wetin de happen to starcomms? i am under a starcomms mast now, still can't a small file in my mail.

MTN rocks!!^{(4 ow sha )}

My Starcomms hasn't been doing badly only that i wish i could get faster download speeds my max has been around 50Kbps only!

uh ohhhh, my zoom has started messing up, whats wrong wiv all these serv providers,
