Spectranet Scam by Enyimbamercedes: 7:21am On Apr 19, 2016 |
When spectranet introduced the 'free' 1am to 7am unlimited browsing i was ecstatic considering i was forced to move from my 9,500 naira 55GB evening and weeked plan to a measly 20 GB 24-7 plan for 10,000. I decided to leave my movie downloads for this free browsing period. However, i noticed that between those hours, torrent speed was greatly reduced and immediately after the 'free' browsing period, the speed shoots up. They are deceptive and should mention it that between these hours, the speed is throttled. From the photos...from 3am when i started the download till 7 am, the download speed never exceeded 110 KB/s. At 7:01 it goes right up the 400 + KB/S and goes higher.

My sincere condolence if this is a weekly plan. But if it's a monthly plan, then you have little to complain about. The speed may not be much but in reality, should you fully utilize this opportunity, you are getting an extra 10gig monthly. Also, the surface cost of this should have been a little over #11,000, which should rise even more once you consider it's a 24/7 plan, but you're paying a paltry #10,000. So, this isn't a scam. Say rather, that it doesn't suit your plans. |

Re: Spectranet Scam by Proffdada: 10:11pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
DesChyko: I guess you didn't read his complaint very well before responding. The guy subscribed to a monthly plan of 24-7 10gb which costs N10, 000 with unlimited night browsing (3-7am) but the bandwidth is always reduced to trickling rate at those hours. It's high time we asked, what course did YOU study? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Proffdada: Be calm. I read everything. But you obviously didn't. The free browsing time was 1am - 7am. That was your first error . Your second error was that it was a 10GB plan while the OP stated 20GB. You can point mine out 1. Free Browsing at an average speed of 100kbps for 6 hours by 30 days gives you how much data free? 2. Are you aware that 24/7 data plans cost higher than evening/weekend plans in comparison to the data size assigned? I studied Pure Mathematics. And 'you' are asking, not 'we'. As rational and thorough as one can be in most decision-making cases. |

DesChyko:still you haven't seen the problem or deliberately avoided it He complained about reduction in speed during the "free" hours which is actually a scam . As a mathematician, I expected you to notice this first because relatively what he was paying for 9,500 (55gb) is fairly better You can't get up to 30gb at that speed in a month 100kb/s x 3600 = 360mb/hr= 2.16gb/night Tell me how many nights you will be chanced to download with NEPA and fuel scarcity? |

nawa 4 u. you too no try, you want to use torrent to send Spectranet packing abi?? If you don't know, the heavier the download the lower the kb per sec will get, it's automatic to keep browsing and downloading moderate. |

i never knew spectranet was a scam, i will switch, and i pray people notice this and switch to the right network, don't forget now that the mobile network providers are now providing 4G, and i pray all switch from you to better service providers till you learnt what it means to hide words and make big empty promises.promising unlimited speed @4mbps per sec which i expect that at night it may rise or remain there, only for you to turn around and change it to max 10mbps per locality and you know that after we all connect it late at night, it wont remain the same, tweaking around data to cheat the masses. ncc will look into this if its not properly cleared to the public. 1 Like |

It's funny how time flies and look back on this to find that spectranet is the best now. Except you can't download torrents at regular speeds during free unlimited data time |
Re: Spectranet Scam by AccentedProdigy: 4:52am On Dec 28, 2020 |
My advice is to look into other options for downloading torrents. There's a telegram group that helps you store your files in a google drive, then, you download from the drive. There's also the Seedr option. I don't think they can throttle either of those. Especially Google. |

Proffdada: Downloading torrents with your ISP is mostly illegal just that we are in a country that doesn't care. Using VPN will boost up the speed in most cases. 1 Like |

Demmtek: You are obviously not downloading enough , when u reach a certain limit them go throttle your speed. Unlimited plans without throttling can never be that cheap |
