The frustration that comes with Poor Network service


soure

Nothing can be more frustrating than a poor network! In my residence, no one knew when I was around or what I did inside my apartment until a few weeks ago when my service provider started to malfunction, though the network has always been poor in my apartment it has a particular time that it would be fast and time it would be very slow and also time it won't even work at all but it was different in the past few weeks.

It just suddenly stopped working and I could not access the internet, but fortunately, just right in front of my door, It works! I had no choice but to place my phone outside and open the door down because I didn't want anyone to steal my phone, this act of mine allows the neighbours to know what I am always doing indoors now cos whenever they pass by my door, they will see me sitting and working on my laptop.

It was getting annoying because mosquitoes and flies now have easy access to my room, It is either that or I won't be able to do my tasks online so I bear it until recently when one of my neighbors told me she had gotten a Mtn 4g router, obviously I was not the only one experiencing the poor network, the big buildings that surround our building was the cause of it...

I also decided to buy it today, I got it at the price of 45 000 Naira and I thought my problem with the network had come to an end but I was wrong!, first of all, this router does not have a backup, immediately power goes off, it goes off too but a power bank comes with it which I tested and that will keep it running when there is no electricity.

The part I didn't like was when I removed the sim that came with the router and put in my main MTN line that contains my data, it became slow as well, so it seems Mtn has tweaked something into their new sim which is why it is the only sim that is fast with the router, that was painful cos I have 632 gig on my main sim, now I have to start buying small data plans to use the router which I didn't find amusing but I have no choice.

It will be this way until I move out of this apartment that wants to suffocate me with different sorts of problems ranging from Network, ventilation, and many others!

MTN routers or other network routers don't active take care of these network issues. They come with their own issues too. Back in the day, a router does the magic. Nowadays it doesn't. Hopefully you get to move out when your program is over

Unfortunately can't wait until my program is over cos I still have like 2 years to spend here, I won't renew the rent when it expires next year and I will be very careful when renting another apartment, once bitten twice shy

This problem in our country has been going on for the last few months and the government itself has slowed down the internet and banned Twitter so that the true news cannot reach people and whenever the internet is not working, people who those who work in line are prone to problems. If the device is not from a good company, the internet will not be good, the quality of the device must be good.

yea, i can understand the frustration of people who work online suffering from poor networks... You can still access twitter with vpn i guess

I also have some experience with poor network issues and I agree that it's very irritating and that kills our valuable time.

it is so annoying, i just have to leave this location next year by God willing

I well know the frustration of poor network connection, makes me want to throw the device away for good. Sometimes, I try some tweaks and the network gets better but other times, nothing seems to work. I think network providers should really do better in upgrading their networks for optimal quality!
