have you guys seen the 3G Zain Mobile Internet advert on TV? has anyone used it before? how reliable is it. i heard its at a speed of 7.2MB/kb how true/fast is this? anyone with update pls update us,

hmmmmm 7.2MB/s,,,,,,,,,, dat na long thing oh

I don't know about that speed but just try getting connected first before u talk of speed. The mobile internet modem connects at 53.6 kilobytes per second so where is that speed. Take note that Zain has deployed 2G equipment and can only achieve the speed you refer to in their imagination for now. Another thing is to be careful if you want to have wap connection. Zain has not resolved if to be addressed as Zain or Celtel in their Access Point Name. Talk of a confused organisation!

Bosunojay, next time try to investigate & confirm b4 making baseless assumptions. . . Zain has 3G infact 3.5G !!


toideve, inf0baba uses it. .ask him

stan pick her kall now

Not a baseless assumption. I use the Zain E220 modem outside Lagos and Abuja so my statement not "assumption" is based on practice not TV advert.

well, i also bought the modem, i was told they are still on some sort of test driving, the connection is very slow or is it because of my area

You obviously dont know a thing abt the product you bought and the service provider you subscribed to.

First of all you have to read different threads on this forum to understand access point name having zain or celtel. I see you are very new here.

APNs containing celtel and zain will still connect. celtel is wap over 2.5 and zain is wap over 3g or 3.5g if they have it.

When they say the 7.2Mb/s, they mean the cap modem speed for the device. Even MTN's device has that as cap but do they attain that at anytime? no and thats because it is shared. I have got to abt 180kb/s and I posted the screen shot earlier.

That is how much I can tell u. U need more info, go back to earlier threads instead of ranting

@cabali


well said

i agree with you. zain has 3G alright but service is restricted to a few spots in Lagos only.

my friend shut up. you talk alot of trash! this guy has a modem he bought from zain, if he can't get 3G, then it's not available where he is. it has nothing to do with proxy settings or apn

flyuche, d dude said it specifically that zain has only 2G., He didnt speak abt 3G availability or not. Guy, u be lawyer?? cUz diz ur attitude get as e be

For someone who gets educated from encomium, city people and ovation, I dont expect any aota of intelligence to come from you at all.

And trust me it has really affected you; you shout without cause. and mostly you shout gibberish. stay away from here cos there are intelligent people here; u cant cope

lol,easy on the guy nah.
After al,we are al learning bout one thng or another here.

you don manage now buy zain modem person no go hear word for you.
i have been using the internet before you ever punch a key on a keyboard.

another waste of post!

I hope you are still a teenager cos your reasoning is within that premises; if you are older then i guess you are just gon' some more littles just like you and that is dangerous for the future

all the years u have been using the internet u still cant be smart?? Thats a waste of education.

You keep rellying on encomium thats why you dont gat a corresponding IQ of someone who has been on the internet for long. I bet you just go to porn sites all these years

cos I cant process it, really!

@cabali,
you sef you talk like woman. Cut the guy some slack and some stop wasting space meant for intelligent discussions cos i'm trying to think here.
4ck, it don do

While you are trying to think, stay away from this if u dont want a re direction.

If you are the type that takes bullets with a smile, sorry, I dont take BS of any sort channelled at me.

keep you distance!!

this thread is strictly for zain internet users or intending users and its reliability, anyone with a say should let it out here, we just want to learn here. no need for the differences

That guy is too belligerent which i think in his own case is due to paranoia and a delusional mind. You need to talk to someone like a shrink. He claims to be brilliant and responsible but lacks tolerance or is it due to the global financial crunch. Please don't take it out on someone.

I have warned you to keep ur distance. I will unleash on you if i will.

What's between me and fly is between us, u dont know the history. Keep to yourself

Meanwhile I dont see u posting any help on this thread. if u can mind your business, I will give u full assistance in doing so.

Did u hear fly complaining? So keep to urself! If you cannot post any help on the mobile internet, just zip it up, read what other people have posted and move along.

And I never mentioned I am intelligent you just made that conclusion, I dont know why and dont care.

Bottom line; if you cant say anything to help the thread stay tacit

Meanwhile it is confirmed that there isnt provisioning going on with zain lines for now till sunday. So you get the settings, it aint useful until sunday when u can get ur line provisioned.

Plus I hear if you get the mobile internet within this period, by the zain/diamond bank/HP bundle, you get 2 months free browsing; aint that beautiful?
