Mtn wan finish my finances ... i will subscribe to 20gb, its won't last 1 week ... i started becoming broke and at a point, my wife dey give me one kain eye whether i dey get another wife outside ... not until she got to know say na mtn ....

Now, I use the Airtel 5G unlimited internet .... speed based ... limited to 20mbps ... and January alone, i used over 650gb (I was carrying some stock footage packs, my wife was enjoying facebook instagram videos, my son streaming youtube 247) ...

All this for 20k monthly .... Waaaaaaay berra than the shege barawo mtn dey do us!

They also have 40mbps for 35k and 60mbps for 50k which i don't need for now!

Does it switch to 4g, if you travel with it, to a 4g location

Yes, it does switch to 4G ... it even switches to 3G when the network is bad and its seamless, u won't know unless u check the network indicator led lights on the box

For those with mtn routers, you can get 120gb at 8k. Reach out to me let's deal.

Go to Airtel office or authorised agent with 30 or 35k and also, carry your nepa bill, means of (drivers license, Intl passport etc)

They will fix up in 30mins with a 5g router and u opt for the speed based plan which is 20k monthly.

The 1st month is free for 30 days. U pay 20k subsequently

JUNE/JULY UPDATE:

The price for the router has been jacked up to about 65 to 75k, depending on your location

Hello bro. I bought the Airtel router and was given the free one month subscription.
Currently using it to stream on my smart TV.
But I noticed that sometimes the upload speed is dam slow.

I saw subscription on their app which is Unlimited 20, unlimited 40, unlimited 60.
Of Course the price varies . I was told that's the unlimited package .

Please which one of these is faster

bigl:



Its 5G router plan.

You pay 30k, airtel give us a 5G router with 2 options of either speed based or data based plan.

The data based plan is about 20k for 240gb for 30 days

The other option is speed based plans:

20mbps for 20k monthly
40mbps for 35k monthly
60mbps for 50k monthly

Na the 20mbps plan i opted for and i've been using it since December 2023 ....

Bretheren, the speed based plan no dey finish ....

Find below the screenshot of the router and also, my usage for February ... check the date and time for the screenshot on my laptop

I bought this and was given free one month sub. But the upload speed on this dam slow

bigl:


If you're following just everything writen by the books and don't pay attention, then you'll be more confused than ever ...

The 20k for 120gb is referred to as unlimited plan by airtel (mtn also does that but why is what i don't know)

There's also the "speed based plan", oya repeat after me, "speed", "based" "plan" ... being sold for same 20k for 20mbps ...

The router itself is capable of 5G speed which of course can be up to 1gb per second speed ... if such speed is allowed for same 20k, airtel business will run down... that's why they are giving us a speed capped option of 20mbps for 20k or 40mbps for 35k and 60mbps for 50k which according to them, you're allowed to use as much data as u wish ...

I considered that option of being able to download without any cap so went with that and not the 120gb for 20k ... those people with the 120gb for 20k will experience faster speeds than my 20mbps .... but that 120gb can be used up in less than 2 weeks ...

I hope u get it?

Go to airtel office to confirm and stop reading just any junk they write on their bill boards

I just renewed today sef and here is what i saw on the recharge platform (check attached pix)...

I'll also post again, check the monthly data usage/traffic as at today, wednesday 28th Feb 2024 ...

I'll check to see if i still have screenshot of the past month where i used 650gb and attach

Have you tried the other speed base plan?
What's your experience with it.
Cos it seems this 20mpbs is slow when uploading videos

michlins:

No, only on the MTN router.

MrSuama:

I already have Airtel router and I need something mobile

I have not o ... I'm stuck with the 20mbps

I only tried the unlimited ultra 200gb which has data cap of 200gb data cap but the speed is unlimited .. I got about 130mbps but the 200gb, go finish faster than u think

Could be your area or general network issue ...

The 60mbps is faster but the fastest of them all is the unlimited ultra 200gb ... But the data cap of 200gb is something I can't live with

Do they give like 5 or 10gb after the expiration of the 200GB?

Yeah but it's not automatically o ...

I will have to buzz and tweak their twitter handles before it's sorted

To me, it's not worth the trouble jare

Omoh. I am just tired . Don't know which one to go for now

MrSuama:

I have this Mifi but I don't have the number it came with. Can it work there?

If na mostly downloading/streaming (not games o), just like me, buy the 20mbps plan jeje

Do not, i repeat, do not buy that 200gb unlimited ultra o cos e go finish in the twinkle of an eye due to the high speed ...

Do you mean it's only the 20mbps you can do?

I currently use the Nokia receiver + router and use the same 20mbps unlimited plan. But I was thinking of switching and buying the Airtel 5G router and be using it for either the 20, 40 or 60 mbps plan because the router is more portable and has a power bank.

Do the other unlimited plans work on the 5G router?
