I also believe it is more than adequate for majority who are average Internet users. Even some average Internet users with starlink hardly ever exceed 1tb.

Better still renew the sub if you wish or get a 2nd hardware and sub on it.

If you have a good rapport with your flatmate or neighbour self na to just share sub 10k each and both of you get to enjoy the data. Where else can you get 500gb to 1tb data at 20k in 9ja.

I hope to try exceeding the 1tb usage just to confirm if the speed will be throttled for me as well.
What is your current speed now.

I travelled for the holidays. So I can't check to confirm.

It seems there is FUP but the threshold is not stated

EduTechTainMent:


I don't think they stated anywhere that FUP doesn't apply. Infact I believe they did state that it applies. I may be wrong though.

Most providers won't state it specifically.
Re: Airtel Unlimited Internet Subscription | How to Setup Streaming Media Services by Betnomore: 5:18pm On Jun 21
So it's safe to say 1tb is the threshold.

If you have a bad network reception in ur area, then the ODU is a better choice for you cos it helps to boost the network.

I got mu ODU for 50k with a month's subscription on it.

Where can I purchase the ODU
Re: Airtel Unlimited Internet Subscription | How to Setup Streaming Media Services by Fremlin: 6:21pm On Jun 21
Can the 20k unlimited work on this?

You can still browse shey? The issue you have is with the throttled speed.

The unlimited plan is sim card based and not router based. It's just that it comes with a new 5g router or this your router if buying new. Some unscrupulous airtel agents do sell the sim alone shaa. You cannot just insert any sim card just because you have a router and expect to sub the 20k plan. You must have the required sim card

I asked because I bought the router recently when I went for that 5 own and couldn't get it. Checked yesterday and found out the 20mb option is now available on my list of data bundles

This is the same problem I have. Tried putting my 4g sim in a 5g router and it didnt work. Called customer care amd they kept dribbling me around. Told me to go to their service center that my sim wud be upgraded there yet got there and those ones said its not possible and I have to buy a 5g sim.
I just want to be sure the speed here wit this router and the 5g own since there's no 5g here.

I paid for it and they should honor their agreement of unlimited data at 20mbps without FUP. The only reason i switched to airtel is that my other service provider gives me 15mbps for the same 20k and i use give or take 2tb monthly with no data throttling. Airtel has and forever been deceptive in their dealings



Which other ISP gives such offer?

Perhaps it's not well configured with the right APN for mtn after cracking the airtel router.

If I may ask, what informed your choice of the mtn 10k 40gogs sub? Isn't the airtel sub better, moreso if u can share the sub with one of your guys in ur area?
I don't have the airtel router simcard
I got the 5g router from someone and he didn't sell it with his simcard


But I have an MTN router simcard from my 4g mini router, so I thought it would work since dey are both broadband routers but it isn't working but it is working on the other 4g mini router

Then most likely issue is with the crack/unlocking or configuration of the apn of the router. You could try another network sim to see if it works

If I subscribe normal data to that SIM card it works
just the router data that is not working

11mb/s seems nice. Doubt i av gotten up to 5mb/s where I am. Tempted to try it once my present subscription ends.
Still av a 5g router lying fallow that I really want to start using even though na 4g area since I know I'd get better speeds with it. Hope I can get round the sim ish and make it work with it

Sorry bro, haven't really been online, my Airtel isn't that great, it serves me for streaming and heavy downloads Atleast.

Go for it, you can try registering a new router sim
