Thank you so much Bayo. We are travelling to Nigeria in few days time and this has been of help. I just subscribed to your channel. You are good at what you do. Keep up the informational videos. God bless you real good. Thanks for helping Nigerians in the diaspora.
Lately , I have taken up watching your content on TH-cam..very enjoyable and I love your sunny disposition and endearing personality..btw we watch your videos from rural Kent UK..
Hi I'm in Narrabri New South Wales Australia my internet speed is 49, thank you for your videos I've just subscribed to your channel and I'm impressed,; I'm moving to Nigeria Lagos soon as the international travel open from covid I have African boyfriend I met on internet I can't wait to come thank you I'm learning so much about Lagos especially the houses we intend to purchase there cheers Cheryl fromAustralia
Thanks Bayo. I'm researching the best modem to use for an upcoming Zoom interview and I'm grateful to find out that I don't even need to spend on a modem at this time, because YES, I already have an Airtel sim that I forgot about before being reminded by this video and yes to the fact that I remember it's pretty fassst in my location. However, it zaps data like proooooo...but it's okay. It's only going to be a twenty minute interview. Besides, there are codes to dial and block/unblock calls for the duration of using a phone hotspot in Nigeria.
We need an updated Version of this video, it literally the best video about this issue out here. after using Mtn hynetflex (not always reliable) for a while i now use hotspot from Airtel which is really fast but just goes off sometimes.. so I don’t know is there is anything out here that’s better than airtel
Thanks for the heads up. Just like you, my work greatly depends on internet speed and data bandwidth. Now I know how to resolve this issue the next time I visit Nigeria.
This was really a great video, very informative. I'm about to upgrade my 3 years old Samsung smartphone to a more recent model and you just gave me the idea of not getting rid of the current device but instead keep it and use it for hotspot when in Africa. Thanks again,
Is someone able to help me, I live around Lekki 2 , After Chervon tow gate side and the internet is killing me. The airtel tips is not working .It's so slow around my area. Got mtn and it's okay but not fast enough to work. Any ideas pls ???
Once again you have delivered exactly what I needed to know as far as internet. As a virtual assistant, writer and web developer I live on the internet so it is VERY important. Thanks so much for the time you take making these videos. Can you make one regarding cellphones and the best carriers?
YAY! Glad it was helpful! Are you going to Nigeria soon ? I am planning to work with multiple VAS for my agency and would like to network with you. Do you just want phone comparisons in general ? or the ones in naija ?
@@thenigeriannomad I will be visiting this June. I plan to move permanently by August 2022 but visiting every couple of months. It would be great to network with you as well.. I am interested in the ones in Niaja that are best. I only use unlocked phones and the ability to make and receive calls in and out of the country is important. Blessings to you and your family you are making my planning a lot easier.
I like your videos a lot and the contents you present. Just a quick correction..... Internet Speed is measured in bits, not Bytes. Example, 96Megabits per second(Mbps), not 96MegaBytes per second. The difference is a Byte consist of 8 Bits, so a 96Mbps speed will actually be 12MBps. I know a lot of people confuse bits for Bytes, even here in US. Just wanted to share the information. Keep up the good work. I appreciate your work.
Fast says I am getting 320 Mbps, and google says I am getting 393.4 Mbps but was saying 186.3 Mbps about 10 mins ago. I upgraded my wireless modem and I use Xfinity. I thought I usually get around the 180 range during the work day, but it is currently after 11pm in the U.S., so I guess that may be what is allowing the speed to be that high. Honestly I don't think I can do 50 Mbps. Have you tried the Starlink internet in Lagos?
Whenever I visit Nigeria I usually use airtel for talk , text and internet. It’s pretty reliable IMO. Great video Bayo!!! By the way mine was 255 from Boston.
I am a German citizen and I called the city hall yesterday. They confirmed that Germans don’t use or have a NIN. Some European countries don’t need it and Germany is one of them. Do you know what else I can do about that? Thank you in Advance 🙂
Another very good video. I am so learning the ropes from you. Good advice about getting your NIN from wherever you are. I had mine done outside of DC last year and it took like 30 minutes or less. For internet speed. I get a download of 228 MB and an Upload of 260 MB in MD, USA. Kind of disappointed as Verizon promised up to 940/880 MBPS upload/download. But I guess because we have a minimum of 16 devices connected at the same time (lol).
I am also like you, I do a lot of livestreaming, downloading, and uploading, atleast a couple of times a day I do more than 10 livestreams on Facebook, TH-cam, and Twitch. I'm about to come home for work and I'm so confused as to which Nigerian internet I should use.
Thanks for that fast.com and speed test.net thing. My speed 88- 95mbps download speed but am not surprised. Am in Ontario, Canada and their utility services not that good and also expensive compared to UK
Don't short change Nigeria when you say people can't afford the cost of internet. Nigeria has a booming middle class and most Nigerians who use the internet, use it because they can afford it. The ones who can't afford it are not online.
Oh yeah, it was faster on your phone most probably because your phone has a much more recent modem in it that can acquire higher max speeds and better reception.
I will be living in Lagos & working for an American company, so I need to keep my American cell number active. Would I need another phone or can I just get a Nigerian SIM and switch to it when I don’t need my American number. So mon- fri for 8 hours, I’d use my American SIM and the rest, I’d use the Nigerian SIM. Does that make sense or is there another way to go about it?
Internet is one of the biggest challenges Nigerians face, before now I have used 9mobile, MTN, Airtel, Glo but I've been using Spectranet for like 2 years now (to work and also upload content on TH-cam) and to some certain level, it's being stable. Except for some days when the network can go off. The quality network all depends on the area in which you in.
It sure is and yes the location is very important. I hope we improve our infrastructure to make this better. It would increase the productivity and output of the economy.
you are my hero :D BTW YOUR INTERNET IS FASTER THAN MY(im in germany) 100Mbit/s Down/ 40Mbit/s Up. The only thing you mess up is the difference between Megabytes and Megabits. Because you talk about Megabytes but what you mean is Megabits :D Im just telling you because the difference is Huge. 8 Megabits are 1 Megabyte ^^ Means you make your internet verbal 8 times faster than it really is
UK - 67 Mbps. Suffered when I was in Lagos in Nov. cos the wifi in the house was always less than 1 Mbps. The company kept on saying they were sure it was fine and took 3 weeks to send an engineer. He tweaked it for 2 hrs, tested it on his phone and declared it was fine, but when I tested it on my phone it wasn’t. Awful 2 months. We’ve changed the company now so hoping it will be much better as I go back v.soon
Yeaaah I NEVER trust what they say till I test it myself. sorry you had a bad experience there. it is definitely worth trying a few others for sure. That was SMILE for me.
NIN is for citizens of Nigeria only, don't think foreigners can get it unless they naturalise....but at the moment foreigners can still get sim cards/modems without Naija ID
Bayou I am currently in China now for a while I checked mine it’s just 3mbps but really fast enough to browse stream videos on TH-cam and download without hiccups how is it even possible I also see the ping is 300ms I don’t know if it affects the speed
Bayo ! You did not name the apartment you and your lovely family took us on tour on we followed you waiting to hear the name of the apartment. I mean the one with the elevator ready furnished with swimming pool. I like to know the name please hit me with the name Thanks
Wow! Thanks soooo much for doing this video! My download internet speed is 320 Mbps, and 310 Mbps for upload (Indianapolis, IN) First, I was SUPER-relieved to learn that Nigerians who live abroad can apply/receive their NIN number in the foreign country they live in! I seriously dread those looooong lines in 9ja for just getting simple tasks done. Whew!!! Second, the backups for backup sounds very nerve racking 😬, but I appreciate the heads up so I can plan appropriately for when I do go home to visit. How did you get a 9ja phone number while you were there? Did you have to purchase a smartphone there? Did you bring your U.S. smartphone? What was the process of getting a phone number? Thank you!
You are very welcome :) and WOW your internet speed is a DREAM.lol The more prepared you can be, the less frustrated you would be for sure. i didn't actually get a local phone, I just brought my phone from the US and swapped out the SIM card. I have a phone that is unlocked to work globally. Just make sure you get an unlocked phone.
...To add to Bayo’s answer, I usually have my sister buy and register the SIM card and I also go the extra mile of having her ship the SIM card to me weeks prior to my travel date that way once I arrive at Lagos, I’m able to talk to family right away cause you never know.
Nice video Bayo. I’ve lived in Lagos all my life so I can relate with your advice. I’m glad you’re coping fine. I also have a backup connection all the time cos it’s crazy out here. I get an average of 14Mbps tho using Airtel. Tho, sometimes it goes up to 40 when I’m out.
@@thenigeriannomad oh yeah, but believe me. We’ve had to deal with much slower speeds sometimes. Like currently, my backup internet (MTN) is usually only able to achieve less than 1 megabit per second. That’s just ridiculous. I wish they had better coverage on the mainland.
