BEST MODEM In Nigeria:the Guides To "Which Modem Is The Best To Use In Nigeria?" by legalwealth(m): 4:21am On May 04, 2012
Fellow nairalanders! !!

A common question that comes to the mind of prospective

buyers of internet modem today is "which modem do i buy?" as we can see at a thread here on nairaland that was created yesterday with title "Which Modem Is The Best To Use In Nigeria?" which you can read more about here at

https://www.nairaland.com/927946/which-modem-best-use-nigeria

where I answered a lot of questions pushed forward by people and I now decided to make research and come up with this thread to answer most quetions posted therein

which further leads to which modem is the best available modem in Nigeria. out of a variety of modems....
GLO modem
Etisalat Modem
zain/airtel
starcomms
zoom
universal modem
and other modems

As you would have guessed I advise you to buy the cheapest cost effective modem available to you.
most of these modem packs perform exactly the same function and no problem with the effectivity on the basic function i.e browsing.
However some modems have additional abilities e.g with the Glo modem you can make calls on your computer(that is if you re interested)
It is also worth mentioning that unlocking some modems to accept other network sim cards for browsing might be a problem(e.g some MTN modems)

Thirdly, if will personally not advise you to buy any modem that costs more than N5500, there are cheaper and effective ones out there.

It will be better to buy your device from the network providers through their authentic distributors
and lastly after acquring your internet modem device Unlock it so that you can use other networks(remember unlocking of the modem is a simple and free process)

unlocking starcomms CDMA modem

unlocking modems i.e i modems is no news,however unlocking starcomms epivalley modem and starcomms neo modem (or other CDMA modems) to enable the use of mtn , glo zain data card for browsing has been a question that many has asked.
starcomms izap and one x modem or neo modem is of a different technology from the common huawei 3g/hspda/edge modem used by mtn , etisalat .so 3g modem unlocking with huawei unlocker or zte unlocker is diferrent.
so the sad news for now , as of the time of this writiing is that you cannot use a CDMA modem to access the common data cards used by other networks since it is of a different technlogy huawei unlocker does not work onit and even if the modem unlocking works, you can only use CDMA data cards on it.
so if your plan in buying an i modem(internet modem) is unlocking modem and using for the other networks , then you need to think twice before picking a starcomms epivalley modem or neo modem.
For free huawei unlocker or zte unlocker that will help you in your personal modem unlocking,check the next topic below:

Get huawei unlocker and zte Modem unlocker for FREE
It's a common fact now that unlocking modems is now childs play, you can unlock modems on your own using the huawei unlocker and zte unlocker
which I am willing to give to you free ...only if you request. you can request for the modem unlocking software (huawei unlocker or zte unlocker) by posting your request here and you shall be ushered in to the unlocking modems ritual.

Goodluck and feel free to ask me any question whatsoever by dropping it below smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley

No element of truth or realistic point in any of these above...................

Everythn he said is true, but its generally advisable to buy a modem from the network providers and later unlock it.
Alo the unlocking price is too high. 500 Naira is just the best any right thinking and exposed computer user will offer

You've tried in there but YOU forgot to write how to create profile such as that of MTN,ZAIN/AIRTEL,GLO & GLO modem bearing in mind that different modem has different interfaces for the settings to be done.

Be constructive and precise though.Thanks

I want to get a modem as well. But I shuttle between Owerri and Lagos and I need a very fast modem that functions efficiently in both locations. Which Network can anyone strongly recommend$ I will really appreciate any help
Re: BEST MODEM In Nigeria:the Guides To "Which Modem Is The Best To Use In Nigeria?" by jjjkkkooo: 10:54pm On Aug 25, 2012
Having used Reltel, Multilinks, Stacomms, MTN, Glo, and Etisalat here in Abuja, i think the best so far is stacomms. It may be sometimes slower than mtn or etisalat but its steady and effective.

You can get a modem from any network and then get it unlocked. That way you won't be limited to just one network alone. I stay in owerri and i can say that glo, mtn and airtel have fast networks here. etisalat on the other hand doesn't have 3g network here in owerri so your browsing speed will be limited to that of their edge network.
