Understand that a 5g router doesn’t mean it will automatically function at 5g speed. It depends on your location and if the 5g network is active in your area . I have someone who has 5g on his iPhone and the speed is over 400mb/s, on a normal day. Even my mtn gives me more than 150mb/s .

Debroslink: 5G everywhere is a scam. Even in America people rarely see the speeds they were promised. Just that it's still far better than here. 1 Like |

Divide 1TB by 12. That's 83 gig per month. For a programmer or someone who works online and does data-intensive work, it may barely be enough. That 20k stuff is unlimited...which is to say, even if capped sef (I don't know if it is) before throttled speed, you can use up to 300gig in a month without issues...compared to 83 gig...choose whichever you love or want. Recently, I did 5.5k for 20gig on MTN or so to watch an institute/conference for 2 weeks on Zoom...for daily participation...my data did not last 5 days. Glo still helped me out a bit...how many times will 83gig evaporate like nothing in such circumstances? That's why the unlimited router plan is not for everyone... somethinggood: |

I hate that even in CODM...always updates and updates like cursed fellows...those guys should improve. COD is too data hungry in updates, then space will enlarge.

5g is not everywhere in Nigeria. If you want to know where 5g is, check the coverage map. As for 4g and 4g+, it is your location...if the light is blue, it mid coverage, red: bad coverage; green: good coverage. Bullfallo: |

Simply put, Airtel has a Nigerian factor, while Starlink has none.

Bullfallo: Here is my review of the Airtel 5g Smartbox router. It is good, and it depends on the area you are in, for network strength. In the compound where I live, maybe because of how the house was built, I have a sweet spot in the house where the network is fair, and most times, I get the blue light. Despite this, I get like 10mbps or lower if it is peak hours (I think in the afternoon or so). Now, I got this by simply using the Wifi. But one thing people write off is the yellow ethernet cable that came with it (for LAN). I used it on my laptop rather than connecting via wifi, and my speed jumped to 23mbps...it was really fast and all that, sometimes fluctuating between 15mbps -23mbps. Airtel 5g smartbox router is good if that is what you want. You have to think of the cost. It is portable, unlike Starlink. I can't carry a dish about if I want to travel or subscribe to a roaming plan because I changed my address. It is for big wigs...wanted to get Starlink before but then, thought of power consistency (electricity), and that Airtel router came with UPS (powerbank), AND IT IS just 50k...just went for it and I have not regretted it since then. Me that was still thinking of coughing out 440k, but now I get to keep my change, and use the remaining money for sub if I wish. If one thinks of the cost of fuel, or going for solar with batteries...it can be a pain in the ass with the type of country we are in. I work online, run my business, watch videos (no buffering), play Call of Duty Mobile, and my spouse also uses it on her phone... Conclusion: If you work from home (remotely) and the company requires a certain amount of speed (like 100mbps), you can go for Starlink so you can retain your job and keep earning. If you want something moderate, cost-effective, go for Airtel. Pic 1 is using the router with the UPS (powerbank) (some says it last up to 8 hours) that came with it. Purely Wifi Pic 2 is using the ethernet cable with my laptop (I have grown to love this). 4 Likes |
