How long would this last? Hope they won't start behaving like the other networks once they have attained the number of subscribers they are looking for? |

Stanley08:bro, what about torrents? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Stanley08(m): 9:19am On Jul 03, 2016 |
purplekayc: I hardly download torrents. But torrents work. Very well, even on my phone. CuriousX: It's not good in my area because i have to hang my modem high up! Like really high in my room. If it's at normal level. 'No Service'. So yh, network isn't good in my area. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by purplekayc(m): 9:31am On Jul 03, 2016 |
Stanley08:bro bros, my main concern is do you really think they are just test driving or how long do you think this would last.you know say nah naija we dey.before they start behaving like the other networks. |

Udezer69: From what they wrote regarding fair usage. After first 3 months, there will be speed throttling after 3GB during 'PEAK' periods. That is like work hours So for instance, between 8am and 6pm you can only use 3GB before the speed reduces. But after 6pm or say 6pm to 8am 'off-peak' periods you get UNLIMITED and MAXIMUM speed. So basically when u pay 10K, you get... 3GB x 30 days = 90GB + As much as u can download during off-peak periods. However, i reckon weekends also count as off-peak so weekends may be 24 hrs. So, 3GB x 20 (business days) = 60GB + As much as u can download during off-peak periods (including 24hrs weekends). Which either way still feels like a sweet deal. Regardless, unlimited still better than any data gymnastics. Lol Finally, i will like to say this is not what Ntel has explained to me. But from what i read on their website regarding fair usage, this is what i understand. I hope this addresses ur question. Cheers mate! ![]() 2 Likes |

purplekayc: Read my post above. However, Ntel's network is not just LTE but LTE-A. Advanced! Which boasts of theoretical speeds of up to 230Mbps and the 'real world' speed is about 90 - 100Mbps which is pretty good. And they are living up to that so far. Anyways, i also hope 'Nigeria' does not happen to Ntel. But to be honest, the only way they can keep the network good is avoid overcrowding someway either by fair usage just like i explained in my previous post or by making it expensive so many people don't use it (this won't help their profits anyways). Or well, by being very efficient. America has 300 million people and Internet is still dope. Lol. Finally, Ntel is 'i think' the first LTE-A network available to residential customers. Swift - 4G LTE Spectranet - 4G LTE Smile - 4G LTE Ntel - 4G LTE-A To understand LTE and LTE-A better, take a look at the pictures below. 1 Like

purplekayc:if the modem doesn't have compatible LTE bands ... am sorry it won't work. Cheers |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by purplekayc(m): 11:39am On Jul 03, 2016 |
lynxnoon:in case it doesn't ,where and how much is a good modem? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Rexyblaze: 11:51am On Jul 03, 2016 |
purplekayc:bro go and get an unlocked spectranet router or mifi |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Udezer69(m): 1:12pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
Stanley08: Thanks bro...that was so helpful.... Another thing tho... After the three months... How much do you keep paying? Do you pay per month or do you pay another 10 thousand for another three months and begin browsing again but with fair usage policy? Second question... How do I get the sim If I'm in lagos? Third question Can I use it on an LTE enabled phone instead of looking for a spectranet modem OR LTE modem? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by purplekayc(m): 2:43pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
Rexyblaze:how much does it go for? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Rexyblaze: 4:00pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
20k - 25k new
you can get fairly used from 10k - 18k |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Stanley08(m): 7:04pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
purplekayc: It will NOT work. 1000% sure |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Stanley08(m): 7:09pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
Udezer69: 1. Lool. You think 10000 is for 3 months? That's cute. 1K for 2 days, 3K for 1 week, 10K for 1 month. Payment doesn't change. Only 24hrs unlimited changes 2. Check their website they are at V.I and Surulere only for now. 3. Yes u can use in an LTE enabled phone as long as it supports LTE bands 3(1800) and 8(900). Cheers!

Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Dam5reey(m): 9:13pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
Stanley08: You mean my phone must support both LTE band 3 and 8 ? Or if 3 or 8 is supported will it work? |

Using this Ntel on an unlocked Spectranet mifi on my PS4 and PS3 but I can't get it to sign INTO my PSN account. It at least tries on the PS4 I can download digital media on it and watch YouTube. I have tried using dmz, port forwarding and proxydns to no avail. Anybody have a similar situation? Any solutions? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by LordReed(m): 10:07am On Jul 04, 2016 |
Dam5reey: I think it's one band for voice and the other for data. Gionee M5 has only band 3 and it does data but not voice (I think). |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Dam5reey(m): 8:07pm On Jul 04, 2016 |
LordReed: Thank you.. so ntel works on M5... cos most phone support band 3 |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by purplekayc(m): 9:47pm On Jul 04, 2016 |
Who's staying around ajao estate ,airport road or ikeja. THAT'S using ntel service .plz tell me how strong the signal is coz am about to go fet mine. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Xhaka(m): 11:34pm On Jul 04, 2016 |
Their subscription price though. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Ronnii(m): 4:48pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
LordReed: I have the same issue. It browses on the PS3 and the PS4 but doesn't connect to the PlayStation Network. I called the Customer Care and was just told "Thank you for the feedback". I responded that it wasn't feedback but a valid complaint. Same thing with Instagram, where photos and videos do not load. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by LordReed(m): 5:11pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
Ronnii: I think because of the controls they are imposing on their network certain ports are blocked or it is their firewalls blocking certain connections. I sent them an email to unblock all the ports on my connection but I didn't get any response. |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Kufie(m): 6:22pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
@Stanley08 Hello Mr Stan, is it possible to use this on the Franklin R702 Modem that Smile 4G gives? I used to run it on an unlocked Huawei modem from spectranet until I damaged the modem. You have any idea if the smile 4G modem is unlockable and if it can work on it? |
Re: Subscriber Options for UNLIMITED Internet - WORTH IT? by Stanley08(m): 7:04pm On Jul 05, 2016 |
Kufie: Lol. Technically, every modem is unlockable. However, that smile isn't. In the sense that, Franklin told me to contact smile to unlock it for me and smile will not unlock it for you. So, look for an alternative. Most likely a Huawei one. Cheers. |
