@samir
that zone6 is a dead zone, there's 3g in maitama(where i work) and apo(where i live) but i haven't tried it yet sha. . .i don toss my glo sim tay tay

tomcat:

just to get back into the topic, i don't think the reduction in local calls has to do with Glo-1?

I think the international calls will benefit more from the connection of glo-1

puskin:

Omooooo. . . . . .dis Glo infinito has changed the game. 25k per second to all networks without any daily rental.  Do they want to beat etisalat to their own game. Wahala dey ohhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

WTF!!!!!!. . . ok. . . . letz wait for dis mumu network cal'd MTN now.

@flyuche

I am in Lagos, the guy I spoke to there said they bought capacity on main one but refused to tell me how much. The modem is the Huawei Echolife BM635. Like I said, they are testing the network so there are probably very few people using it.  Having said that, it is still very fast . I have no idea what to download now.

flyuche:

@jdoss. is swift on main? are you in lagos? what's the modem like? i am impressed. even in South Africa, we can not boost of this kind of speed.

Obumneme:

I read in the papers that the code *103*1*1# works in 24 states in Nigeria of which Lagos is excluded.

As I understand it, they will be coming out with new plans once they launch. There was an e-mail sent out to that effect as well as blaming 20% of customers for using 80% of network resources[b](they say the average user only uses about 3GB a month). It is looking like they might implement some sort of data cap or sliding scale.

They have not accepted any new customers in the last 6-8 months, so they could implement their "4g Wimax" network. I have never heard of a Nigerian company turning away business for whatever reason.

I have no idea what the average speed will be when they come out of beta testing, but these guys seem serious and it is looking like it will be greatly improved.

tomcat:

according to Glo they have migrated already their 3G-GPRS traffic to Glo-1 already,

i find it hard to believe however, can someone with glo 3g post a speedtest.net screenshot or a ping result to a london server please?

The Glo 3G internet service will receive further boost as more cities pan-Nigeria will soon be covered with 3G technology. Further improvements in terms of bandwidth and, consequently, speed and connectivity will be enjoyed by subscribers when the Glo 1 international submarine cable starts to carry traffic soon.

tomcat:

well if we get someone who is using 3g glo to post their results from speedtest.net or pingtest.net, we will know for sure if they have switched the traffic to glo-1 or is still satelite.
