This is why i took my time to explain that the engineer who came by brought his own swift SIM and router and tested it from the exact same spot where my router is and got better speeds, much more than i get and much more than you get (6Mbps). So the issue of reception is out of it.

It was also in the same spot when i was getting the said 3MB/s while on the plan that offered unlimited at night. I'm pretty sure it is throttled cause that's the only explanation that makes sense at this point.

If the engineer brought his own router and got such speeds, why didn't you tell him to slip in his sim into your own router and check it too? It's probably your router that's the issue with the sim. That's another factor you can't leave out.

Bros read his original post before this one, this was treated. The issue is not the router nor the SIM, unlimited Sims are throttled whether u believe it or not. While capped subscription Sims are free to hit the highest speeds allowed by the network.... That's the point he's trying to make.

I already thought of this too and i did that the day the engineer came, spent close to 3hours doing everything you could possibly think off(Switching SIMs, moving the router outside, restarting the router, resetting everything from apn to what not) and it was still the same. The only thing we can conclude is that the issue seems to only be affecting my SIM and I didn't tamper with the settings before the day the engineer came.

The engineer kept hammering that the unlimited isn't throttled but still couldn't make it better. I really don't wanna believe that swift actually throttles the speed which was why i called them to come check it but it is starting to look like it.

All i want now is for them to stop running around the bush and tell me that it is actually throttled and if it is, at what point does it kick in? (after 200GB? 150GB?) So i can weigh it with the other "Unlimited" options from other ISPs and know if it is time to port.

Thank you for this insight, I could have fall their promo on unlimited supreme, 50k for 4 months.

I want to believe some of their staffs may not understand the difference between Megabit (Mbs) and Megabytes (MBs)

I contacted them on instagram and they told me the speed is pegged at 4Mb/s

4Mbs = 500KBs (Kilobytes)
4MBs = 4MBs

Swift unlimited is Unlimited at 4Mbps, No throttling whatsoever..

You get 4Mbps nothing more, I did some calculations on some pages back, you can do up to 1TB. In a month..

I have done 20GB in a day before.

See speed below on Netflix.
you are rite bro I do the weekly unlimited plan for 6500 and max I have used In a week is around 750gb
In a day I use 80-100gb depends on the files I need to download. I stream Netflix on 4K without buffering.

You're welcome.

This actually clears things up but i still think it's fraudulent how to they tried to pass up 4Mbps as 4MB/s. Spectranet FUP states 512kb/s after a certain amount of data is used. It's just unfortunate that it doesn't have coverage where i stay, seems like a better option tbh.

Meanwhile, i got on the Swift promo of paying for two months and getting two months free. Basically slashing the price of the monthly subscription by half - now 12,500/mo with the promo.

Spectranet is quite stable and fast enough. The problem I have with them is their system update in the middle of the night when I work and they don’t have coverage insome areas like where I am presently in Abuja, I have to use mtn.
Mtn’s data runs down so fast but it’s as though monks count is chunkier and fast gbs are gone in a few days....

When u make enquiries about 4G be specific in terms of band, and if u don't know the band then name the specific network to avoid stories that touch......
